Kagome Smells - It's a Long Story

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

 

“Sesshomaru's coming.”

 

InuYasha sat bolt upright and sniffed the air. There, at the very limit of his youkai olfactory sense was the scent of his brother. InuYasha couldn't help growling at the taiyoukai's approach…but then the hanyou thought about what Kagome had done.

 

Her sense of smell had to be better than his. Far better.

 

But how could that be? Sure, Kagome had told him about how she had gotten blood from his broken nose into cuts around her own nose, and about how that had both healed her cuts and scratches and given her his sense of smell…but how could her acquired power be stronger than his natural power?

 

“Can you see him, Kagome?” If her sense of smell was stronger, then her eyesight should be, too.

 

“Yeah.” The miko pointed and InuYasha looked on until he was finally able to see Sesshomaru as he emerged from a busy, forest background.

 

“Sharp,” he thought. ”Sharper than mine, anyway.” InuYasha used his thumb to indicate the Great Lord of the Western Lands. “Do ya think you could hit him from here?”

 

“InuYasha!”

 

“Oi. I don't want you to kill him. Just - I dunno - put a couple sacred arrows through his Mokomoko-sama or something.”

 

“I can't do that!”

 

“Feh. Do you want him to see you practically naked?”

 

Kagome looked down at her semi-naked form and blushed. “I guess you're right.” Quickly, the miko picked up her bow, nocked an arrow and took careful aim just in front of the approaching taiyoukai.

 

<TWANNNNG>

 

 

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

 

 

His small flying cloud on a sort of autopilot (his nose was directing the cloud's flight), the Great Lord of the Western Land was absorbed in imagining what he might do to torment his brother. What is that whistling noise?” Sesshomaru looked up to see one of Kagome's sacred arrows gracefully arcing its way in his direction.

 

At first he raised his hand to catch it, as he had done once before to the miko, but then drew his hand back hurriedly and moved well away from where the arrow would land.

 

There was a bright flash and, when Sesshomaru opened his eyes, he found a respectable crater with the miko's arrow in the center of it. Even with his innate resistance to spiritually-based attacks, it was impressive. He could feel the energy radiating off the arrow. He smelled fur burning and realized had even singed mokomoko-sama. He decided it would be impressive if he were to return the miko's arrow to her.

 

A moment later, Sesshomaru was picking himself up off the ground. “Glad InuYasha didn't seen that.” He dusted himself off as best he could and examined the miko's arrow more carefully.

 

Apparently the discharge that had landed him on his butt had lowered the arrow's energy enough that he could hold it without risk of serious injury. He bent down and grasped the arrow. “Damn it.” He could smell smoke coming off his mokomoko again.

 

Still, he held onto the arrow. Sesshomaru stood up and looked in the direction the arrow had come from. Enough of the miko's contact scent lingered on the arrow that it told a story. Kagome's arrow had not been fired in fear or anger. “So they merely wished to delay this Sesshomaru's arrival.” He could also smell sex. “The miko was aroused shortly before taking a shot at me.”

 

Both Sesshomaru's eyebrows shot up. “Oh no they're not!”

 

He snatched up the arrow and, hand tingling, raced to find InuYasha and his mate. “Nobody keeps this Sesshomaru waiting for THAT!”

 

 

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

 

 

Kagome gulped.

 

“Oi! What's he doing?”

 

Kagome gulped again. “Coming this way.” Kagome had been surprised at the size of the crater her arrow had made. Not only that, just touching her arrow had propelled the Great Lord of the Western Lands onto his ass. The miko stared at her bow for a moment. “I did that?” She looked up to see Sesshomaru approaching again. “Eep. Better get dressed!”

 

She looked to her mate who had already dressed and was on his way to meet his brother. “I'll keep him busy for a minute. Just hurry it up, will ya?”

 

She found her pack. “It would be easier if you'd stop shredding my underwear, you know.”

 

“Feh. You love it.”

 

Kagome blushed. The truth was, she did love it. She turned away quickly and dug fresh underwear out of her bag. “Note to self: buy lots of inexpensive underwear I don't mind losing.”

 

 

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

 

 

“What do you want, bastard?”

 

Sesshomaru raised one eyebrow. “You have finally done something intelligent, brother. You have mated with that girl.”

 

Confused, InuYasha digested what his brother had just said. “Feh! I thought you didn't like humans.”

 

“This Sesshomaru does not. However, the girl is worthy of respect.” The Great Lord of the Western Lands looked past InuYasha to where the girl was rushing to dress. “Besides, she's got great tits.”

 

“If you think you're gonna…” InuYasha ceased his posturing and regarded his brother. “What did you say?”

 

“She has great tits. Really nice long legs, too. How could you stand being around her for so long without jumping her ass?”

 

Some distance behind InuYasha, a now thoroughly-embarrassed Kagome had finished dressing and was putting on her shoes. “Sesshomaru has been admiring my body?”

 

InuYasha's tone turned conspiratorial. “It wasn't easy. Especially when she went into heat. All I could think about was ripping off her clothes and…”

 

“I can hear you back here, you know!”

 

InuYasha glared at his brother, who - surprisingly - had the slightest of smiles. “Bastard.” He began to draw Tetsusaiga.

 

“Put that away, InuYasha. This Sesshomaru has not come to fight you.” The tiny smile evolved into almost a smirk as the taiyoukai lowered his voice so only InuYasha could hear him. “Besides, it will be more fun to get you in trouble with the miko.”

 

Had he heard right? Had his brother, the Great Lord of the Western Lands, actually admitted he had fun? He regarded his brother's expression. There was something about his smile…

 

“Sesshomaru?”

 

InuYasha looked to his mate, now standing beside him.

 

“I doubt you came congratulate InuYasha, so what's your business?”

 

Sesshomaru presented Kagome with her arrow. “This belongs to you.” He looked the miko in the eye and she never flinched. “No fear. InuYasha has done well.”

 

“This isn't what you came for.”

 

“Smart, too.” For a moment, Sesshomaru almost wished the miko had dumped his half-witted brother and come to him. “Indeed, there is other business to attend to.”

 

“Oi. You can speak to both of us.”

 

“Very well.” The Great Lord of the Western Lands turned to regard InuYasha and Kagome. “As InuYasha had no doubt told you, when Inu-Youkai mate, their mating marks must be verified by the father of the male.” Sesshomaru sniffed. “Clearly you two have mated.”

 

Kagome blushed.

 

Sesshomaru looked momentarily confused and sniffed again. “And this is more important considering InuYasha has gotten an early start on bringing more of his kind into this world.”

 

InuYasha blushed.

 

“In the absence of our father, this Sesshomaru must act as patriarch and verify your mating.”

 

“Is this true, InuYasha?”

 

“Keh. Yeah, he has to inspect our mating marks. Yours is on your neck.” InuYasha ran his fingers over his own neck. I'm not sure where mine is.”

 

“The mating mark is always close to where you are bitten.” The Great Lord of the Western Lands inspected the Kanji on Kagome's neck…and snorted.

 

“What does it say?” asked Kagome.

 

“Couldn't you maintain some dignity, brother?” Sesshomaru turned back to Kagome. Well, it would be best to just say it. “Lover…

 

Kagome smiled.

 

“…Mother…”

 

Kagome blushed slightly, but smiled even more broadly.

 

“…Sex Goddess.”

 

Kagome kept smiling for an instant before realizing what Sesshomaru had said. “Osuwari!”

 

<WHAMMM>

 

“What was that for, bitch?”

 

“InuYasha! Do you realize that I have to go around for the rest of my life with `Sex Goddess' on my neck?”

 

InuYasha's eyes widened.

 

He could only hope Kagome would eventually get over that, but what really worried him was what Sesshomaru had said about the location of his mating mark. If it was true that the mating mark appeared close to the bite…

 

InuYasha looked down at himself, as if he could somehow see through the material of his hakamas.

 

“Keh. Uhh, Sesshomaru?”

 

 

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

 

 

“She bit you where?” Sesshomaru glanced over to Kagome, who was just sitting quietly, looking sheepish.

 

“I told her that her human teeth probably couldn't break the skin on my neck.”

 

The Great Lord of the Western Lands glared at the miko, who was nodding vigorously in agreement. “It seemed like a good idea at the time,” she offered.

 

Sesshomaru looked back at his brother, who seemed to be staring into space, a bit of drool slipping from one corner of his mouth. “InuYasha!”

 

“Y-Yes?”

 

Sesshomaru sighed. It couldn't be helped. He had to make a proper inspection for the honor of their family. It was either that or kill the hanyou. He thought about the power in Kagome's arrow. “Lower your hakamas, InuYasha.”

 

Turning red, the hanyou complied. He then removed his fundoshi and stood there with his hakamas around his ankles, not exactly the position he had ever wanted to be in with his brother around.

 

In turn, Sesshomaru was finding it hard to resist an easy target. “Must uphold family honor.” He looked sourly at his brother and approached him, kneeling. “Let's get this over with.”

 

Looking upward and whistling (something not easy to do when you have fangs), InuYasha allowed his flaccid member to plop into his brother's hand. The taiyoukai examined the mating mark.

 

“This is mortifying,” thought Sesshomaru, but then his expression brightened when he read the Kanji. “At least this makes it all worth it.”

 

“What does it say?” asked Kagome.

 

“It says `My Mate, Baka.'”

 

InuYasha continued to look up and away. He was disturbed by the Kanji, but had no desire to see his brother holding his member.

 

“Really? Let me see.”

 

That was Kagome.

 

“Ummm, Could you look away for a minute?”

 

“What's she up to?”

 

“Oi!” InuYasha gasped as he felt something warm and wet engulf him. Not knowing what to do, he merely stood there as Kagome worked on him till, finally, there was a “pop.”

 

“You can turn around now.”

 

The Great Lord of the Western Lands turned back to find Kagome wiping her mouth. He looked at his brother. “By the kamis!”

 

“Well, aren't you going to read it?”

 

Sesshomaru grumbled. “It says `My Mate, Honored Father, Eternal Lover…'

 

Kagome smiled. “Go on.”

 

`…Almost Lost but then Found…'

 

“Please continue.”

 

`…My Hope, My Heart, My Life…'

 

“Go on.”

 

`…Losing You Would Have Made Me the Biggest Fool.'”

 

Sesshomaru looked up to find InuYasha looking down at him.

 

“Oi. You can let go, now.”

 

 

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

 

 

While InuYasha finished getting dressed again, Kagome took the Great Lord of the Western Lands aside. “There's only one thing that bothers me.”

 

Sesshomaru had plucked several handfuls of grass and was busy rubbing it between his hands. “And what is that, Miko?”

 

Kagome started blushing. “It…It seems I'm more…responsive…than I thought I would be.”

 

“Indeed. Have you touched your mating mark?”

 

“On InuYasha?”

 

“No, the one he gave you. Stroke it.”

 

Kagome did as Sesshomaru instructed. She felt a tingling excitement in her neck and was surprised to hear her mate gasp. She glanced at InuYasha, who was rubbing his neck, and then back at his brother.

 

“See? You two are connected through your marks.” The Great Lord of the Western Lands looked to his brother. “InuYasha. Much as this Sesshomaru hates to ask, please stroke your mating mark.”

 

“Keh.” The hanyou turned away, obviously thrusting a hand down the front of his hakamas.

 

“Wait a second. Are you saying what I think you're uunnnggggggg!” Kagome stood on wobbly legs. Her eyes had gotten quite large and her breathing had become irregular.

 

The Great Lord of the Western Lands prepared to leave. “You really should have found a way to bite him on the neck.”

 

A small cloud formed around the taiyoukai's feet and he lifted into the air. The Great Lord of the Western Lands made it a point to fly over InuYasha's head as he left. “She'd like you to do that a little more.”

 

“K-Keh.” InuYasha watched as his brother flew off into the distance. There was no one else around, so he thought he'd give his mate a real demonstration. What could it hurt?

 

He began stroking his mating mark with vigor.

 

“Besides, it feels goooooood.”

Miroku turned around when he saw the bright flash. He looked where Sango was staring. Brighter than the daylight, a pink column of light rose into the heavens.

 

 

 

 

 

A/N: Two chapters in one week! Who woulda thunk it?

 

I'm not promising anything, but I think I may have as many as six more chapters to go…or, perhaps, five chapters and an epilogue.

Not promising anything, though. The total will be, at most, thirty.

 

Please read and review. As always, reviews = inspiration for more chapters. Thanks!
