Chapter 33 The Bath

Fanfiction.net readers: I have had a couple of reviews mention that I've uploaded, but they can't
download the new chapter. Quote from Fanfiction.net "Any changes you make might not be
immediately reflected on the site for up to 24 hrs."

So, please give FF.net a chance to update. (It takes longer and longer as this story gets bigger,
ok. Right now . . . it's at least 2 hours before the new chapter shows up.)

Author's note: this chapter is Rated R for eroticism and sexual situations. A word of warning. I
hate four letter Anglo-Saxon swear words . . . so, I will be using as many euphemisms for
various body parts and actions as I can.

Kagome takes a deep breath, "Ok. How do you want to do this, Sesshomaru?" She waves at the
waterfall and the pond it feeds.

"It helps if we get undressed."

"Sesshomaru." Kagome places both fists on her hips as she growls at him. "I know that."

He raises his eyebrow, and allows a small smile on his lips, "First, of course, we get clean." He
waves at the waterfall, "Under that. After that . . . " he pauses, his eyes travel up and down
Kagome. "Then, we'll retire to these rocks." he points to some moss-covered rocks. The moss is
lush green and thick. "And we'll groom each other . . . "

They look into each others eyes . . . trying to decide exactly what that will entail . .

Kagome looks at the waterfall and at the rocks, she swallows, but nods. She clears her throat.
"Umm, the elves gave me a jar of some soap and another jar of some skin oil. We've got a
couple of towels apiece and they also gave me a razor, a toothbrush, a couple of combs as well."

"That's enough. Gather them up and join me under the waterfall."

Kagome stands there, tapping her toes on the ground, obviously irritated at something.

Sesshomaru looks around, trying to figure out why she is upset. He blinks, "I should have said
please, I take it?"

"Yes."

"Please, then."

Kagome sighs, shakes her head. "Better." She gathers up the bathroom supplies.

"Oh, yes, Kagome. Leave one of those towels dry, but bring one in with you." Sesshomaru
requests as he strips, "Please."

"Huh?" Kagome looks up from the backpack.

"It is normal to have something wrapped around your waist while bathing."

"Yes, I know that. I just . . . "

Sesshomaru flicks his eyes across her body. "We are bathing and grooming, Kagome. That
comes afterward, unless, of course, you wish otherwise." his voice rumbles from deep in his chest.

She swallows, "No. Just bathing and grooming." she mumbles in embarrassment.

‘This is going to be difficult . . . ' she thinks as she finishes gathering up the bath supplies and
walks to the pond.

It's late afternoon, and the clouds from the volcanoes are darkening the skies. However, the day
is still warm enough for the pond's water to be comfortable, if perhaps, a touch cold.
Sesshomaru, while Kagome is gathering the bathing supplies, constructs and lights a couple of
torches. (His speed allows him to start the fires via friction as he rubs a stick across the top of the
torch.)

The pond is about twenty meters in diameter. The water in it is clear, fresh spring water from the
large hill above, so Kagome can see everything under the water. The pond does not look deep,
and at its deepest, it is perhaps chest high on Kagome. The waterfall is about three meters tall
and is about two meters wide. It is falling from an overhang, so there is space for both of them
under it at the same time. The large green trees that surround the pond give Kagome the
impression of privacy as they shield the view of the pond in, at least, some directions.

A soft, gentle wind is blowing the pollen and fragrance from the flower filled meadow across the
pond.

Kagome swallows . . . ‘You'd have to be dead not to get romantic in this setting.' she thinks.
‘No. Do not think about Kikyo and what she'd do with Inu-yasha in this setting. Don't. . . Think
about other things. Think about Sesshomaru's nude body, if that doesn't get my mind off that
horrible thought nothing will . . '

After starting the torches he undresses and enters the pond . . . Sesshomaru, fully nude, and
facing her, is standing in ankle deep water at the edge of the pond. His tail is curved over his
shoulders like normal, but its tip is twitching, back and forth . . . his robe is draped over one of
the soft moss-covered rocks.

As Kagome walks up, her eyes travel up and down his body . . . His maleness twitches as she
glances at it. She blushes and looks away, so she misses Sesshomaru's grin. ‘She is thinking
about it. I can tell, that little twitch on my part and her reaction.'

Kagome, looks back at Sesshomaru and she tries only to look at his face and upper chest,
although, at times . . . her eyes will stray . . . She strips, trying to look only at Sesshomaru and
hold his eyes, so his eyes don't stray . . . She wraps a towel around her chest. It just barely
reaches the top of her thighs. This allows her pubic mound to be visible as she walks. She enters
the pond and starts to walk toward Sesshomaru.

She blushes, as she realizes how short the towel is, and she tries to pull down the towel to cover
herself, only to have the tie at the top comes loose . . . Then everything, her towel, Sesshomaru's
towel that she was carrying, and the bath supplies begin to fly everywhere as she drops them in
an attempt to cover herself.

Sesshomaru, using his speed, manages, barely to catch everything before they hit the water.

"Why?" Sesshomaru demands, as he places a towel around his waist, covering him. He frowns,
"We've been together, nude, even rubbing against each other, Kagome, so why?" he waves at
bath supplies he caught at her.

Kagome blushes, "It's different this time, Sesshomaru. Those other times . . . we were doing
what was necessary to survive or . . . we were only sleeping, or doing something else. This time .
. . "

"It's for our mutual pleasure." his voice rumbles in his chest.

Kagome shakily nods. "Y.. Yes."

"And I'm not going to force you, Higurashi Kagome. You know that. If you wish to retreat, I can
bathe alone." Sesshomaru's voice is tinged with sadness, and he turns away from her. He shifts
his tail, so it is between them.

‘That tone . . . I said that we would . . . I can't back out now . . . ' Kagome thinks. She swallows
and walks to Sesshomaru, her towel trailing behind her in the grasp of her left hand as she
reaches out for his tail with her right hand. It stiffens in her grasp. "Sesshomaru, please. I... it's
just . . . I've never done . . . "

Sesshomaru turns around. Kagome keeps her grip on his tail, so . . . she moves very close to him.
They end up standing toe to toe, his towel-covered groin brushing against her stomach. Her right
arm is wrapped around him.

He cups her chin in his hand. "Don't worry, Kagome. I know what I am doing. And . . . I
promise. Only my hands will touch you." His mouth twitches, "Unless you brush against me, of
course."

Kagome stiffens, realizing what he meant, and for a second her grip loosens on his tail, but she
tightens her grip and moves her body fully against his, her breasts, their nipples already hard, rub
against his ribs. "I trust you." she whispers, staring into his eyes. "Nothing else, right."

"Not tonight." Sesshomaru replies in a whisper full of promise. "Not unless . . . you really want
it."

Kagome nods, "Not tonight." she whispers, but she moves away from him and releases his tail.
"Let's go under the waterfall. And get started."

He nods and he heads that way. He takes a couple of steps, but stops. Kagome isn't moving. She
is staring at the towel in her left hand. "No. If I take it, then, it'll get in the way . . . " Her mouth
moves as she mumbles out loud. She gathers the towel into a ball and throws it out of the pond.

She takes a deep breath and begins to walk toward the waterfall, fully nude.

Sesshomaru allows her to pass him, he strips off his towel and throws it away, leaving only
Kagome's wooden bowl with jars of the soap and oil in his hand. ‘I will not get excited . . . ' is
his mantra as his eyes follow Kagome's every curve along her backside . . . ‘At least, not yet.'

Under the waterfall is a rocky shelf. The water level there is only knee high or so to Kagome's
standards. Nearby a couple of moss-covered rocks pock out of the water, one of them is level
enough for Sesshomaru to place Kagome's bowl on it.

"Before we begin, Miko Higurashi Kagome, I do have a request." Sesshomaru asks in a formal tone.

"Huh?" Kagome looks at him, startled at that formal tone.

"Could you examine my new arm? If I were Sauron, I would have placed some sort of
controlling spell on it. Individuals like him do not gift a stranger without some sort of trick."

Kagome nods, her _expression serious, "I should have thought about that myself. Hold out your
arm, please."

Sesshomaru holds out his arm and Kagome, after shifting her concentration to her mystical
sense, begins to lightly run her fingers over his arm. Her fingers stop, near his shoulder. They
glow white for a second and a bulge appears in the muscles of Sesshomaru's arm, just below the
shoulder joint.
1. "There is something here, Sesshomaru. Do you want me to remove it?"

"That, woman, is about the most idiotic question I've heard you ask."

Kagome grimaces, "It'll hurt and cause a wound, ok. I didn't want to hurt you." she quickly
replies in an angry voice.

"Remove it. On this world, my arm will heal within a very short time."

"Ok . . . " Kagome twitches her fingers and a blackened, cracked gemstone oozes out of his arm.
Blood drips into the pond for a second, but Sesshomaru's regeneration ability heals the arm very quickly.

"If I had to guess." Kagome begins as she brings the gem close to her eyes to study it, "I'd say . .
. "

"My powers overwhelmed it and destroyed it."

Kagome shrugs and nods. "Close enough. Do you want it?"

"No."

Kagome closes her fist, with the gem inside, her fist glows . . . she opens her hand and nothing is
in it. "It's gone." Kagome reaches for the jar of soap, but Sesshomaru's hand grips her wrist
stopping her. His body is not against hers, but they are only separated by a few centimeters . .
"Sesshomaru?"

"Grooming, Kagome, is a way that dog demons use to learn about each other."
She turns, brushing against his body, so she is facing him as he speaks.
"We learn what each other likes and dislikes." His other hand, lightly runs down the length of
her hair. "Honesty about our bodies." his voice trails off.

She swallows. "With your sense you'll know . . . won't you?"

"I should, but." His mouth twitches, "I will be honest, I never really paid that much attention to
human females, so I may miss something."

She swallows, and blushes, "I don't have your senses, so how will I know?"

He whispers in a husky voice, "You'll know. And if you have to ask . . . do so."

She nods. "Do we start?"

He nods.

She opens the jar of soap. A heavy aroma of ambrosia and honeysuckle rises from the soft soap
in the jar. She closes the jar and she sighs. "Not good."

"That is a very strong odor." Sesshomaru agrees.

"Am I right in my assumption that if I use a large amount of this, your nose isn't going to like it?"

"Close. I can stand it, but, it will mask some of your scents and it will attract potential enemies."

"I thought so. I've been using unscented soaps and such because of that." She pauses and
whispers, "He said I smelled good, and . . I wanted him to smell me, not my shampoo."

Sesshomaru runs his hand through her hair again and brings a lock of it to his nose. "My brother,
like always, is wrong." Kagome's eyes narrow, her mouth opens to correct him . . . "You smell
better than merely good."
Her mouth closes with a snap.
"And, you are correct, I do want to smell you."

"So, no soap." she grimaces.

"Not quite. Let me apply it. That way I can control how much is used."

She nods and hands him the jar of soap.

"Go ahead and get your hair wet, Kagome." he directs her in a husky voice. She steps into the waterfall.

The water flows over her nude body . . . highlighting her body and all its curves and dips . . .
Sesshomaru licks his lips. ‘No . . . ' he wills his body not to react.

Kagome leaves the waterfall, shaking her hair, causing water to splatter across Sesshomaru's
chest and abdomen, causing his long, lean, but well- muscled body to glisten.

Kagome, with a giggle in her husky voice says, "I've always wanted to that. Been around too
many dog demons, perhaps?" she looks at Sesshomaru.

"Perhaps." he replies, amusement in his voice. He dips a finger into the soap, puts the jar down
and approaches her. He gathers her hair into his hands and begins to spread the soap across her
hair. The Elvin soap, is very good, and even the small amount Sesshomaru is using is enough to
lather her hair.

As he rubs and lathers up her hair, he uses his claw tips to massage her scalp. Kagome begins to
purr and to slowly twist her head in pleasure. "You see, my dear Kagome." Sesshomaru whispers
into her ear. "Learning about each other is pleasure . . . "

"Yyyyeesss . . . " she hisses.

"May I lick your ears?"

"Yes . . . " she whispers.

Sesshomaru's mouth goes to her right ear and his long, inhumanly flexible tongue, (he is a dog
demon, remember), extends to caress her ear. After a minute of lathering and massaging her hair
and scalp, he switches sides and caresses her left ear. He slowly separates himself from her. His
hands leave her hair. "Now to rinse your hair."

They both enter the waterfall. Both Kagome's and Sesshomaru's hands reach into her hair and
begin to rinse it . . .

Kagome and Sesshomaru are standing face to face as they do this. Their eyes staring into each
other's eyes. Their hands begin to touch other and play with each other, rather than rinse
Kagome's hair

A minute pauses . .

"Your hair is clean . . . " he whispers from deep within his chest

"Yes . . " She breathily whispers. "Your turn . . . "

He nods and slowly removes his hands from Kagome's hair. He steps back and sits down, Indian
style like Inu-yasha, in the pond, under the waterfall.

"Since my hair naturally cleans itself, you don't need to use that soap, Kagome. But. . ." he looks
up at her. "It's been . . . years since . . . " he whispers.

"Since anyone but yourself has done anything to it." Kagome finishes.

He nods.

Kagome's eyes narrow. "Do you wish me to stand in front or behind you?"

"Your choice." His eyes flick down her body, "Although, I would prefer to see you."

She eyes flicks down to his lap. ‘If I stand in front . . his eyes will be staring right at my groin . .
. '

"A.... as you wish, Sesshomaru." she whispers as she moves in front of him. He spreads his legs
so she can stand between them.

She reaches into his mass of silky smooth white hair and begins to rinse it in the falling water.
Her hands separate and stroke his hair. He reaches up and gently grabs her hands and shows her
how he likes his hair washed.

"Yes. I see . . . " she whispers.

"Better. Massage my scalp. There . . . " he whispers as they work together.

She reaches for the back of his head to lift his hair, but as she bends over him, her body rubs
against his . . . her mound of Venus brushes against his nose . . .

She freezes . . . He moves his nose in a circular motion, the rough stubble of her re-growing hair
scratches the tip of his nose. (Remember her hair was removed a few days ago, and it is re-
growing.) She jumps back, releasing his hair and her hands instantly cover her mound.
"Sorry. I didn't . . . " she starts to say.

"Don't apologize, my dear Kagome." Sesshomaru whispers. "I enjoyed it."

Kagome's eyes instinctively flick down, and Sesshomaru is not lying. His third leg is, while not
fully extended, definitely growing . . .

Kagome whispers. "My hands or . . . "

"Both."

Kagome swallows. "Ok . . but, I'm moving behind you to finish."

Sesshomaru, with a sad _expression on his face, nods.

Kagome moves behind him, and begins to stroke and rinse his hair, again.

Sesshomaru clears his throat. "Higurashi Kagome." he says in a serious tone.

Kagome looks at the top of his head, "What, Sesshomaru, sir?"

"Are you aware that you are beginning to enter into heat?"

Kagome freezes . .

"Kagome?"

"Ssshhh, I'm thinking, trying to count the days, ok." she replies in a distracted voice. She nods,
"Yes, you are probably correct, Sesshomaru."

She swallows, "Do I need to leave?"

"Why?"

"Because . . . "

"You're afraid that I might lose control."

"..."

"Higurashi Kagome, if I lost control at the scent of a woman, dog demoness, human or other, I
would be out of control all the time. All my enemies would have to do is have a dog demoness,
in heat, spread her scent on a towel or something similar and I would not be thinking clearly,
right? I'm not going to allow that to happen." Sesshomaru states in a hurt tone.

"Sesshomaru, sir, I'm sorry for doubting you."

"That is why we are doing this, Higurashi Kagome, so we can learn about each other." He sighs,
"Although, this is troublesome in other ways."

"Huh?"

"I had . . . dreams and desires to bed you, Kagome. If not tonight, then soon." She blushes. "But,
with you in heat, I will refrain."

"Sesshomaru?"

"I cannot take the chance of you getting pregnant, Kagome." Sesshomaru shakes his head and
sighs, "At least not until we are home."

Kagome frowns, "I can see why . . . I do not want to get pregnant during this . . . " she waves at
the surroundings.

"Yes, far too dangerous."

She swallows, and nods her head. "Sesshomaru, you said ways. Is there something else?"

"I'm not sure, your scent is different from most humans to begin with and the scents coming
from your feminine flower is strange, I've never smelled anything like it."

She thinks for a second, and then says, "Oh, that's probably the birth control implant."

"Birth control implant?"

She blushes, and thinks, ‘Ok . . . I never should have mentioned it. Stupid, stupid Kagome.' . .
"After the mess this spring," she swallows, "I didn't want to go through . . . that mess again. So .
. . my mother had me go to a doctor and he placed in my arm . . . some devices. They prevent me
from getting pregnant."

Sesshomaru's voice lowers, becomes huskier, "So . . lovely . . I do not have to restrain myself."

Kagome swallows, "I would prefer that you do, Sesshomaru."

"Why, if you have a device that prevents . . . "

"The device is technology Sesshomaru. Your body has a lot of magic in it. Your seed will have a
lot of magic in it." She grimaces, "When I had it put in I thought that I was protected, but,
nowadays I wonder . . .which is better? My technology, or your magic?

"My magic is superior, of course."

Kagome nods, "Yes, I think so, too. So . . . "

Sesshomaru sighs, "Very well, I will restrain myself."

"Thank you." A pause. "Oh, I probably need to mention this. Since I've had it put in, I've
noticed that at least one day a month, sometimes two or three days, I get really cranky, especially
in the morning. And that day normally starts about this time in my cycle. So if I bite off your
head in the morning . . . you have my apologizes, now, because I'm not going to apologize then."

"Women problems . . . " Sesshomaru sighs. He thinks, ‘Another reason that I'm glad that I'm a
male.'

‘I'm not going to tell him that my breasts have also become tender, since I've had it in . . . '
Kagome thinks.

"Continue with my hair, Kagome." Sesshomaru demands.

Kagome removes her hands from his hair. And clears her throat.

Sesshomaru twists around so he can look at her. "I am sorry, please, could you continue to
groom my hair? I was enjoying myself immensely." he asks.

Kagome smiles, mumbles, "Turn around." and her hands return to his hair.

Sesshomaru begins to purr . .

A couple of minutes pass, and Kagome huskily whispers, "Your tail?"

"No. It's last. Our bodies are next." he whispers huskily back.

He stands up, turns and faces her. She moves back a couple of steps. "What about the soap?"

"It's too strong to use. So . . . " He grins, "We'll just have to rub each other harder."

She swallows and nods. Kagome takes a deep breath, "What next?"

"Turn around. I'll clean your back. Then, you'll clean my back." he pauses as he stares into her
eyes . .

"Then we'll clean each other's front." Kagome whispers.

"Yes."

They both enter the waterfall.

Kagome turns to place her back in front of him. A pause . .

His hands begin to rub her shoulders. Goose pimples form all over her body. ‘Those clawed
fingertips of his . . . I've never . . . they feel . . . great . . . ' Kagome thinks as she moans as his
hands begin to rub her back.

He moves closer, not touching her, but, she can feel his body, his heat, his maleness . . .

"Later, not tonight, we are only grooming each other, but later . . . I'll give you a real massage."
Sesshomaru voice surprises her . . . she was lost in the feelings her body was giving her.

"If this is a preview . . . do I want the massage or should I be afraid of it?" she whispers.

"Both . . . "

Kagome shivers in pleasure . .

Sesshomaru moves down her body . . .

Rubbing, caressing, cleaning her more by accident than design . . .

He is learning about her body and how it reacts to him . . .

"Your skin, Kagome. Even some of the best dog demoness geisha's that I've seen have had
worse skin than you." he mummers to her.

"My healing abilities. At first, I'd always be coming home with scratches, minor scars. But, as
my healing spells increase . . a lot of those minor problems faded away. Now . . . the only scar
on my body is where the jewel emerged."

Sesshomaru fingers that scar on her side. Her body twitches away from him. "Still sensitive."

"Yes."

"It'll never go away." he pronounces after looking at it with his mystical senses.

"Yes. I know."

He continues to rub her body and goes lower . . . down to her legs . . .

He gazes at her, from behind and he can see her muscles twitch in pleasure . . . ‘Hmmm. The
water is confusing my nose enough. I'm not sure about how much of the fluid dripping down her
legs is hers . . . or the just water . . . later . . . I'll find out . . . ' he thinks.

He spreads her checks to clean her fully . . . and watches her body twist in a combination of
pleasure and embarrassment.

Sesshomaru pauses. ‘Hmmm. If her healing abilities are that good.' He smiles, ‘Her virginity can
be healed as well. Something to remember when the time comes.'

He finishes at her ankles and stand up. "Your turn, Kagome."

She turns around, and swallows. ‘As I thought . . . he is very excited.' Her eyes look away from
his maleness and at his smug _expression. Her eyes narrow. "You don't think I can do this as
well as you can, do you?"

"I would love for you to show me that I'm wrong." Sesshomaru's voice rumbles from deep in his
chest.

"Turn around." she orders.

He raises an eyebrow.

She blushes, "Sorry. Please, turn around."

He smiles, but turns. He bends his knees so she can reach the top of his shoulders without strain.

Kagome takes his tail and wraps it around her shoulders, to get it out of her way. The tip of the
tail twitches between her breasts, that soft silky hair caressing each one.

‘I wonder . . exactly how much control does he have over his tail.' she thinks. ‘A lot is my guess.
So . . . ' she looks at his tail slowly caressing her breasts. ‘The odds are that he is causing that,
it's not just something natural. Do I stop him?' she shudders. ‘No . . . that feels soooo good . . . '

All the time that Kagome is rub Sesshomaru back, his tail remains draped across her shoulders
and the tip of his tail remains snuggled between her breasts . .

Kagome's hands begin to rub his shoulder, her fingernails scrapping against his skin . . .

‘His skin . . . I've known ever since that first night that it was smooth, but, now, somehow . . .
it's better.' she thinks. She rubs his back, following his muscles, watching them twitch as she
caresses them . .

He purrs, deep within his chest . . .

She learns how his body reacts to her . . . he stands up fully and she bends down to rub his legs .
. .

She looks up at him and stares between his legs . . . ‘No . . don't think about it . . . all you'll do . .
. ' She spreads his checks to clean him fully . . . only to see his family jewels twitch as she
challenges his control . . .

She rubs lower, down his legs, one at a time, feeling his rock hard muscles . . .

"Finished." she whispers as she removes her hands from his ankle.

"I'm turning around." Sesshomaru's low husky voice announces. He twists around.

Kagome stares at Sesshomaru maleness, which begins to bounce and wiggle at her as he turns
around. She swallows and licks her lips. ‘No . . . clean. We're only cleaning each other . . . ' She
stands, on wobbly knees.

He grabs her. "Are you . . . " concern in his voice?

"Yes. Just . . . " she blushes.

"Yes. A challenge indeed." he whispers. He reaches out and cups her chin, bringing her eyes to
meet his. "Never, Kagome, in all my years, has any female withstood me for this long." He
smiles, "I will meet your challenge." His mouth moves to her right ear and he mumbles into it, "I
will cause your high tide to come before mine."

Kagome closes her eyes and shivers. ‘Kaede's book of feudal era slang . . . High tide . . . orgasm
. . . '

"I thought . . . " she beings.

"And I will not touch you when I do it." Absolute certainty shines in his whisper. She shivers
again . . .

He reaches out and begins to rub her shoulders and arms, cleaning them, caressing them . .

His claws, claws she knows that can shred her at a thought . . . are causing her pleasure . . .

Her hands move and begin to caress and rub his arms and shoulders. Their arms intertwine. And
they move closer together.

Her body brushes against his, trapping his maleness between them.

A pause . . as they look into each other eyes . . .

He lets go of her arms and reaches down, below her breasts at her stomach and belly button. He
rubs her stomach.

Her arms begin to rub his chest, and his ribs . . . they run all over his well-formed hard muscular abdomen.

His mouth twitches as she rubs his belly button. "Ticklish there are we?" she mummers.

"Very." His mummer barely reaches her ears.

"Good. A weakness in you . . . that I can use."

"One that I am very glad you know about . . . "

Her eyes reach for his eyes . . . a pause . . .

She quickly bends down and kisses his belly button. He groans . . . his third leg brushes between
her breasts as she kisses him.

She looks down as she moves away from him and swallows hard.

She stands up. "Skip to my legs, Kagome, please." he whispers.

"You do the same."

"Yes."

They both begin to rub each others upper thighs. They bend down trying to rub each others lower
legs, but . . .

Bump heads . . .

After bumping heads. Sesshomaru bends down and cleans her lower legs first.

His eyes stare at her mound of Venus. They flick up to her face. Kagome is blushing beet red,
but, although her hands are twitching, she does nothing to cover herself. He smiles and returns to
memorizing Kagome's every feature . . .

He finishes cleaning up her ankles and he stands up.

Kagome swallows, and still blushing, she bends down to clean his lower legs. Her eyes drink in
everything about Sesshomaru's body. ‘Yang weapon . . . yes, I can see why Kaede's book of
slang would call a penis that . . . ' she thinks. Her mouth twitches, ‘In his case . . I think I will
call it that . . . '

She finishes cleaning up his ankles and she stands up, shakily. Sesshomaru grabs her by the
elbow to steady her. "You're doing fine, my dear Kagome. My tail can wait, let's go ahead and
sit down and . . continue . . . "

He begins to direct her to the side of the pond where he started the torches and where his robe is
laid out. ‘Besides the instant she was to touch my tail . . . right now, I'd lose. Fighting my body's
desires . . . this might be the hardest fight I've ever fought . . . I need a few minutes to calm
down . . . ' he thinks.

She nods and allows him to walk her to the edge of the pond.

"Lay down on my robe, Kagome, please. Face down, if you could, please." he asks her.

She nods and lays down on his robe, face down. ‘If I'm not staring at him . . . I can control
myself . . . I hope.' she thinks

"Hmmm . . . You normally shave your legs and underarms, don't you?"

"Huh?" that everyday question startled her. "Yes. Ummm."

"Tonight. I'll shave you."

She swallows, her nipples dig into the robe . . .

"What will I have to do to you, tonight?" she asks.

"Oh, when I am finished with you?"

"Yes."

"Those elves gave us some skin oil, right?"

"Yes."

"Just rub it in." A pause, he bends over, brushes aside her hair and whispers into her ear. "Just
like I'm going to do to you."
She shivers at the raw passion in that whisper.

Sesshomaru stands up and he moves to gathers the jar of skin oil. He also picks a hand full of the
rose-like flowers from the nearby field. He sits down next to Kagome.

"Sesshomaru?"

"Yes?"
"The razor."

"Why would I need a razor to shave you, Kagome? Aren't my claws sharp enough?" He holds
out his hand in front of Kagome's face. She can see his claws begin to change shape, becoming
longer, thinner, sharper .

"In this shape, they are far too fragile for combat. But . . for tonight . . . " he whispers.

"I didn't know . . . "

"I am a shape changer, Kagome. Changing the shape of just my claws is a challenge, but, I can
do it. However, let's dry you off first." He picks up the dry towel and begins to dry Kagome's
back. Softly rubbing her as he does so . . . He finishes and opens the jar of skin oil. "Much better.
Very little scent." he mummers. He dips a finger in it and feels it and smells it. "Plant based, but,
I'm not familiar with the plant. Still . . . a very fine oil. It will do." is his judgment.

"Close your eyes, Kagome, please." he asks her. "And don't move your arms."

"Why?"

"It's better that way."

A pause. And Kagome's closes her eyes.

She can feel as Sesshomaru picks up her left arm and spread some oil in her armpit.
"I stink. I'm sure." she whispers.

"Your smell, even here, is better than any other woman I've meet." he replies.

His claws begin to move against her skin, shaving her closer than she's ever been shaved before .
.

When he finishes, Kagome can feel something, soft, caress her underarm. "What?"

"A flower petal. I must make sure that the shave is close enough." he replies in a husky whisper.

He shaves her other arm.

Then he moves to her back . . . One hand rubs in the fine oil . . . the other hand using one of the
flowers to softly caress her skin . .

He moves to the back of her legs. "Tisk, tisk I thought you shaved."

"You try it in the middle of nowhere, by yourself." Kagome replies. "Most of the time Sango and
I will trade off."

"I'll do it from now on." Sesshomaru's declares . . .

He begins to rub in the oil, shave, and caress her with the flower petals . . .

‘Gods . . . he has to smell me . . . the water might have masked it earlier . . . but I can feel my
wetness . . ' Kagome thinks as she squirms in pleasure from his touch. Her arms twitch, but she
doesn't move them, like he asked.

The combination of the oil, his fingertips and, especially, that light soft caress of the flower
petals is driving her body insane . . .

‘I was right. She is wet and getting wetter . . . good. Very responsive to my touch. Excellent.
When we mate, I want her to be as ready as possible. She . . . I do not want her first time with me
to have any pain . . . ' Sesshomaru thinks as he watches Kagome twitch her legs, trying to relieve
her mounting pleasure.

"Be still, Kagome. I'm good. And while shaving your legs as you move them is a challenge. Still
I would . . "

"I... I'll try." Kagome squeaks out of her dry throat .

Sesshomaru finishes shaving the back of her legs. And he grins, as he can smell sweat beginning
to form over her body. ‘She's fighting for control as hard as I am.'

"Turn over," he huskily whispers.

Kagome swallows hard, but turns over.

Sesshomaru picks up the towel and dries off the couple of spots on her that hasn't dried already.
He leaves her mound of Venus alone . . .

Kagome opens her eyes.

"No. Kagome. Please, keep them closed. And keep your hands by your side." Sesshomaru asks.
"That makes this even . . ."

"Sexier . . . " she whispers.

"Pleasurable is better." he whispers. "For both of us." She closes her eyes.

He begins to rub the oil into her upper chest, with that flower petal . . . afterward highlighting the
path . . .

He avoids her breasts and reaches her stomach.

"Why?" she whispers.

"Why what?"

"Didn't you . . . " She can't finish her statement.

"Your breasts?"

She nods.

Sesshomaru bends over and lightly breathes on them.

Kagome shudders as a small orgasm spasms through her.

"Did I need to?" Sesshomaru asks.

Kagome shakes her head, no.

"Hmm. Your belly button isn't ticklish, I see." he mummers a couple of second later.

"Nope. Never has been." she mummers back.

"Pity."

"You can't have everything."

"I will."

He skips over her groin and moves to her legs. ‘Later.' he thinks as he smiles. Her lower lips are
glistening and her upper thighs are covered in her fluids . . .

Sesshomaru moves down to her legs and continues to caress her and on her legs, shave her.

He finishes shaving her legs. "One last place Kagome. Then it's your turn."

His oily finger begins to coat the short stubble of her pubic mound.

Kagome twitches. Her legs press tightly together. Her hands are tightly closed fists. Sesshomaru
places his hands on her upper thighs and slow begins to apply pressure to open her legs. "I need
these to open, so I can get everywhere."

"Just shave?"

"Yes." A pause. "I promise I will not touch your petals with my fingers."

She slowly allows him to open her legs. Sesshomaru shifts and gets between her legs. He lays
face down between her legs, staring into her open female flower. ‘So . . close . . . but, I
promised.' he thinks. His finger dips in the oil and begins to apply the oil to her mound, rubbing
the rough stubble.
"That tickles." Kagome mumbles as she twitches.

"Hmmm. In that case . . " he begins. He removes his hand from her body.

"Shave." she orders. "Walking around with that stubble all day will drive me nuts."

"Sigh . . . I have a ticklish spot and I have to remove yours."

"I'm ticklish there all the time." comes out of Kagome's mouth before she can stop it.

Sesshomaru grins. And he begins to shave her mound.

The oil . . .

The clawed fingertips . .

The soft flower petals . . .

Kagome squirms in pleasure . . .

It is only due to Sesshomaru's great control and skill that he doesn't nick her as she twists . . .

Sesshomaru smiles. ‘Yes. Now to finish her.' he thinks.

He finishes shaving her.

"Kagome." he whispers huskily.

"Y.. Yes." she manages to get out.

"Look at me."

She opens her eyes, and sits up to look down her body. Sesshomaru bends down, his mouth
almost touching her female flower.

His eyes are full of lust as he stares into her eyes.

And still staring, he breathes directly on her exposed precious pearl . . .

Kagome orgasms . .

Kagome closes her eyes and moans "Sessssssshooooommmmmaruuuu" . .

Her legs snap around his head squeezing him . . .

Her hands grab his head and try to drive his mouth into her.

‘I promised not to touch you, Kagome.' Sesshomaru thinks as he uses his superior strength and
doesn't bulge.

Kagome's spasms slowly fade . . .

She opens her eyes. Tears of pleasure slide down her face.

Sesshomaru rubs his right forefinger along the insides of Kagome's thighs, gathering up her
juices on it.

Sesshomaru raises his finger, it is slick with Kagome's female juices . .

Kagome can see it glisten in the torch light . .

He places it in his mouth and sucks on it . . .

He takes it out of his mouth and whispers to Kagome, "You taste even better than you smell . . . "

Kagome shudders at the pleasure flowing through her . . .

A pause as she recovers . . .

"Sesshomaru . . . I . . . What can I say . . . or do . . . " she starts to mumble.

"That is simple, Kagome. Now it is your turn to rub me with oil." he smiles.

"Yes . . . " she mummers in a shaky voice. "I... never . . . "

"That was lesson number two." he replies in a smug voice. "Now let's see how well you learned
it."

"Ok. Switch with me and I'll do it."

"You really need to open your legs, first." Kagome's legs are still clenched around his head, her
ankles crossed.

Kagome blushes in embarrassment, opens her legs and they switch places.

‘I'm not going to have to dry him, but . . . I can do all the rest.' she thinks.

"Do you want me to shave you?"

"It's useless, Kagome. My hair grows back too fast. You rubbing that oil on my body will do."

"And the flowers." she replies with a smile in her voice.

"Yes . . and the flowers." Sesshomaru smiles at her. "There should be plenty already picked."

Kagome nods. She can see the pile of flowers next to the rock and the jar of oil. Sesshomaru
used about half of the flowers on her.

"Lay on your front, Sesshomaru, please." She orders.

He lays on his robe, face down. His tail is twitching across his back.

She takes a deep breath and moves his tail out of her way. ‘What I'm going to do with it?' she
wonders. She grins, gathers his tail into her hands and places it between her legs.

"Are you sure?" Sesshomaru suddenly asks.

"Yes. Sesshomaru, I am sure."

His tail begins to move, slowly twitching as it rubs across her mound of Venus . . .

She suppresses a moan and begins to rub the oil on his back.

She's not quite as smooth as him, but, the more she rubs. The better she gets . . .

She rubs the oil into his firm back, highlighting the muscles underneath the skin . . .

Then she goes back over the same area with a flower, lightly stroking the skin . .

She moves down his back . . .

Lower, onto his legs . . . slowly oiling him and rubbing him.

She can hear him panting . . . ‘No sweat . . . he has to pant instead. Good . . . he has turned me on
. . . let's turn him on . . ' she thinks.

As she moves down his body, slowly having his tail move between her legs . . .

It is getting wetter all the time . . .

She finishes rubbing his back.

"I'm done." she huskily whispers.

"Not yet." Sesshomaru replies, in an equally husky whisper.

He turns over to lay on his back.

As he turns, his tail, still between Kagome's legs, rubs against her.

Kagome moans in pleasure . . .

When she opens her eyes, the first thing she sees is . . .

His yang weapon, now fully enlarged, as it curves over his stomach . . . at its base . . . his knot is
also fully visible.

She swallows. ‘He didn't touch me. I'm not going to touch him. But . . . he'll lose it . . . ' she
thinks as she stares at his maleness. "You're going to lose it, you know." she sexily whispers.

Sesshomaru has his eyes closed, but on his lips is a very satisfied smile. "That is the purpose of
tonight: to lose this in the best possible way."

She begins to rub his shoulders and arms. "You might like the smell, but, I don't. So . . " she
whispers as she rubs his upper arms.

"Then, I will take more baths. Baths are nice things to take, especially with a friend to help you."
he whispers back.

She shudders at that implied promise.

She begins to rub his chest. She pays very close attention to his nipples. She smiles as she sees
his weapon bob up and down in reaction as she gently twists his left nipple. "You're almost as
sensitive as I am." she whispers.

"Perhaps. It will be fun to test that out later . . . " he replies.

She squirms on his tail as it twists . . .

Kagome rubs his stomach, ‘I'll be merciful and not do his belly button.' she thinks and she goes lower.

‘Saving my belly button for the next time, I see.' he thinks. ‘Good. I might have lost control
then.'

Like Sesshomaru, she ignores the groin area and begins to rub his legs.

She finishes oiling his body, except for his groin.

Sesshomaru, without a word from her, opens his legs in invitation for her to sit between them.

His panting in the stillness of the early night is very loud to Kagome's ears . . . She gulps, but
moves between his legs.

Kagome crouches between his legs, his tail still between her legs. It is trapped now. The white
hair on it is laying down, covered in her wetness. ‘After this . . . we'll have to clean his tail . . .
I'm making a mess.' she thinks.

She stares at his yang weapon . . . ‘The same shape and size of Inu-yasha. Maybe a little longer,
although Inu-yasha, I think is a little wider.' she thinks.

She oils her finger and begins to rub his upper thighs. As she moves her fingers along his flesh,
she can see his family jewels roll in their fleshy sack.

She licks her lips . . .

‘How do I move it, so I can oil the skin above it?' she thinks. She tries to use a flower, but even
the stem isn't strong enough to move it as much as she'd like. ‘Weak stem . . ' Finally she
decides to press on the flesh at the base of his weapon and move it in that way.

Sesshomaru groans as her fingers press against his flesh.

She oils around him. Sometimes, yes, her hand slips, and her oily fingers do touch him . . . but
she is trying to avoid his weapon as she oils him.

Kagome, inches forward, moving closer to him.

Her oily fingers reach down between her legs . . .

"Sesshomaru." she whispers in a very passionate tone.

He opens his eyes and stares down his body at her.
He pants . . .

She leans over his weapon and breathes on its tip.

Sesshomaru closes his eyes and moans, "KkkkkaGGOOOMMeee."

He orgasms . . .

His seed pumps out and coats his stomach, his chest, some of it even reaches his face as his yang
weapon spasms and fires . .

Kagome sits up quickly to avoid being hit by his flying seed.

Kagome moans, "Sessssshommmaruu." As her fingers and his tail cause her to orgasm . . .

‘Even if I had wanted to control that . . . I couldn't.' is his thought as he drifts down from his
orgasmic high .

He opens his eyes and looks at Kagome.

Kagome opens her eyes, as she comes down from her orgasmic high . . .

Kagome begins to crawl up Sesshomaru. Her nipples low enough that they drag along his skin.

As her head reaches his head, she lays down on Sesshomaru. Her breasts flattening as they slide
on his slimy chest.

His male organ, twitches and begins to lengthen between his legs.

Kagome wipes her right index finger on his robe, then uses that finger to gather some of his seed
on Sesshomaru's face.

She holds up her glistening finger.

Sesshomaru swallows and nods as he stares at it.

She places that finger in her mouth and sucks on it.

Kagome can feel, his maleness begins to rise between her legs as she sucks . . .

‘Well. It's not great. But, I've tasted worse.' she thinks. ‘And, he'll expect this, so . . . '

"And you, my dear Sesshomaru, taste great as well." she whispers in a tone full of passion.

Sesshomaru smiles and wraps her up in his arms, hugging her.

He whispers in her ear, "Do you want to know what the best thing about dog demon grooming is,
my dear?"

"Yes."

"Done properly . . . you make such a big mess . . . that you have to do it all over again . . . "

Kagome, suddenly, can feel all of his seed that is between them and coating their stomach and
chest and realizes that it, combined with her juices and her sweat . . . she really does need
another bath . . .

She starts to giggle. To laugh . .

Sesshomaru, after a slight pause starts to laugh as well.

‘I have no idea why she's laughing, but, I'm not going to stop her to find out.' he thinks.

After a few minutes, Kagome stops. "Ok, Ok. We'll take another bath."

She kisses his nose, even nips it with her teeth. "But, a real one. No seduction, ok?"

Kagome sees his crestfallen face, and between her legs she can feel his manhood droop, so she
explains. "I am tried. And we have to leave this world tonight. And if this last week has been any
indication, we'll be dropped into the middle of combat. So, I'd like to get at least some sleep."

"And if we do this again tonight . . . " Sesshomaru begins to speak.

"I'm going to be worthless tomorrow. Not only will I be, excuse the _expression, dog tired,"
they both grin at each other, "But. I'm going to be cranky as well."

Sesshomaru sighs. He raises his eyebrow. "Tomorrow night?"

"If we have some privacy . . . " Kagome replies. "I'm not going to say no."

He nods. "And Kagome, my dear, exactly how long are you going to lay on my stomach?"

Kagome smiles, "Oh, I don't know. I was thinking about sleeping here, I am soooo tried . . . "

"Beastly woman." Sesshomaru reaches up, bringing head down and kisses her nose. "Up. You
are correct. We do need to prepare for tomorrow."

Kagome smiles, but gets up . .

She gathers as many of the flowers as she can and places them between the pages of her school
books. ‘Something to remember tonight by....' she thinks.

They bathe again . . .

"No funny stuff." Kagome demands.

"Very well, no fun stuff." Sesshomaru sighs . .

"Arggg. That was not a good joke, Sesshomaru."

"At least I am trying."

They clean up.

Sesshomaru and Kagome, nude, smile at each other and crawl into one of the elfish bags that
they were given. It is a much tighter fit then Kagome's old bag . . .

But . . . much to Sesshomaru's disappointment, Kagome falls asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow.

Sigh. "Tomorrow night, my dear." he promises her sleeping body.

He wraps himself in her hair and falls asleep himself . .

Later . . .

"Come on, woman, we've got an hour before daybreak." Sesshomaru tells her as he shakes her awake.

"Grrr . . . " she growls as she awakens. "Sesshomaru. Last night you took advantage of me."

"I did not. You could have said no at any time."

"You did, too." she mumbles and grumbles at him as she dresses and eats. Every little thing that
she can think of, she complains about.

After the first couple of sentences, Sesshomaru tones her out, obviously this is the grumpiness
that she had warned about last night. ‘Hopefully she'll feel better tonight. Otherwise . . . ' he
sighs . .

Later . . .

"Ready." Sesshomaru hands her the cube and she touches it . . .

They vanish . . .

Prelude chapter 34: Vampire World part 1.

Sigh . . . As I read vampire novels, it always strikes me as strange that Dracula and the other
vampires either hide/sleep in some forgotten castle or has some weird code of honor . . . those
two are the normal reasons given for why Vampires do not try to take over the world until the
present day. So . . . let's change that . . .

The young, but powerful, vampire Vlad Tepes, otherwise known as Dracula, takes control of the
clan of vampires that has haunted Transylvania for centuries. He is not a kind or gentle man and
wants revenge against the living. He raises an army of zombies, vampires and other things that
goes bump in the night . . . He begins to conquer the world in the year 1500 . . . not in the present
time.

When Kagome & Sess arrive . . . it is the year 2000.

Vampires rule the world .

Humans are blood slaves . . .

Technology is still in the middle ages. (Why would vampires want greater tech?)

The world needs someone to kill Dracula . . .

Dracula is bored and wants new worlds to conquer . .

The cube wants a new master . . .

Kagome and Sesshomaru, with the sword Tenseiga, appear outside the capital of the world.

Constantinople . . . where Vlad Tepes the Horrible, the Vampire Emperor of the World has ruled
the world, unopposed, for hundreds of years . .

____________________

Author's note: Sesshomaru's maleness. I will upset some readers, but... he is a dog demon..
Certain body parts are similar to dogs... his maleness is one of them, not totally, but it is similar.

Author's note: I will be taking a break from Kagome! Where are you?! After Feb 22. I need to
get another chapter of a shard in Kyoto done and I've got a couple of other one-shots that need to
be written. (Moreover I've missed the camera and the line about humans in the dog legend. That
probably means I need to take a break.) I will be back on Kagome! Where are you?! Sometime
in March, when I'm sure of right now.

I have decided to increase the general rating on this story to R. After reading this chapter, and I
know that the next few chapters are either R for violence or R for sex. Shakes head. Too many R
chapters, so.

Thank you for reading, Jeff Shelton.
