Kagome! Where are you?!

Chapter 39: Uzume

Rated R. Intense and strong sexual situations. You are warned.

I will be referring to various other stories of mine in this chapter. Especially "When Friends Find
Out: Spring Fertility Festival". In that story I go into detail about Kagome's thoughts about sex .
. . and how things have changed. I will be referring to her decisions she made at the end of that
story. Decisions about sex . . .

For the euphemisms that I'm using for various body parts see; "IshinPo: A Spring Fertility Spin-
off" author's notes for ch 3.

Lanne is the name of the spirit in Kagome's robe.

She shakes herself and wraps her arm around Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru's eyebrows raise.

Kagome brushes his hair away from his ear, whispering,
1. "I need to get ready to summon Uzume, Sesshomaru." She licks his ear and kisses it.

He hugs her. His hands begin to roam over her body.

Her hands begin to roam over his body.

"Last time, Sesshomaru. You were the aggressor. Today . . . it's my turn." she purrs into his ear .
.

Sesshomaru purrs . . .

Kagome thinks, ‘That didn't sound like I thought I would. Being sexy . . . without sounding like
a whore is more difficult than I thought.' Kagome sighs and slumps, "Sesshomaru . . that
sounded like I'm a. . ."

Sesshomaru kisses her nose.
"I know what you meant, Kagome. And I'm not offended."

"Thank you." Kagome kisses his nose.

They begin to pet and caress each other. Her hands gently rub Sesshomaru's crotch. She thinks
as she considers her recent actions, ‘I made a decision to be more aggressive about sex with Inu-
yasha. But . . between the adventures, the presence of my friends . . . and my own second
thoughts . . . I was not able to act on that decision very often. And when I did, Inu-yasha
normally rejected me, on his stupid theory that by doing so, he was protecting me.'

His hands begin to softly caress her breasts.

Kagome smiles, her breathing deepens, "Yes . . . " she hisses in pleasure. She thinks, ‘If that plan
we just thought up is to work, I've got to treat them in the same way. If this were Inu-yasha next
to me . . . I'd be aggressive. So . . . ' she purrs. Her hands go to his tail and she begins to rub and
caress it. ‘And, unlike Inu-yasha, he has never hid the fact that he was sure that sex would be
part of our relationship . . . So, since . . . I love Sesshomaru . . . and I want to be more aggressive
about sex.' She releases his tail. Her hands begin to untie his robes.

She opens his clothes, bends down and she begins to lick and suck his nipples. ‘It's time to take
our relationship to the next level.'

He holds her head against his chest, his clawed fingertip's caresses her scalp . . .

‘And . . . one of the things he respects about me is that I have a backbone and I will make up my
own mind. So . . . If I take the lead, even in this . . . Sesshomaru should like that.' she thinks.

He purrs deep in his chest.

Her right hand drifts downward, slowly opening his clothes . . .

She stops as she feels his maleness against the back of her hand.

He is erect.

She is wet.

A timeless moment . . .

Kagome separates herself from Sesshomaru. "Well?"

Sesshomaru sniffs. "If we don't do something soooonn . . "
Kagome giggles. "I'll take that as a yes."

She slinks her way over to a small cleared area they had prepared.

"I do wish I had my seven veils costume." She smiles as she turns to face Sesshomaru.

"Seven veils costume?"

"It's what I wore the first time I did this dance." Kagome smiles, "But the one thing that the
vampire spirit did that I approved of, was it showed me that the spirit in my clothes is very
adaptable."

Kagome thinks, ‘Although she did destroy my underwear . . . and the elves only gave us one set
of underwear . . . so . . . even tomorrow, I'm not going to have anything on under my robes . . . '

"Ahh . . . interesting."

Kagome nods. "You'll need to chant Uzume's name as I dance."

"Can I mix your name in?"

Kagome nods. "Yes, but use hers more often, please."

"Vain and egoistic goddess . . . "

"Sesshomaru . . . " she growls at him.

He sighs. "Of course, I'll do as you wish."

"Also, if you could, clap a beat as I dance, please."

His eyebrows raise in question.

"I'll be singing a song in her honor and it'll go easier if I were listening to a beat as I sing . . . "

He nods. "Tell me when to begin."

Kagome nods her head, looks around .

It's early to mid-afternoon. The sky is cloudy, it'll probably rain later on, after nightfall, she
guesses. The wind is out of the north and it is chilly. ‘It's a good thing that I'll be dancing,
otherwise, I'd be cold tonight . . '

Sesshomaru, earlier, had used Tokijin to level the top of a hill, to give her some smooth ground
to dance on. There are a few trees around the top of the hill, giving them at least the illusion of
some privacy. Sesshomaru is sitting on the fallen log. Behind him is the large fire they made out
of the branches.

Kagome takes a deep breath. *Lanne, please feel free to tap my power and change into the
costumes as I think about them. * she telepathically talks to her clothes.

*Yes Kagome. *

Kagome's clothes change into a traditional-appearing kimono. ‘Untying this and slowly
disrobing is sexier than simply stripping naked.' She grins. ‘Inu-yasha may not have wanted me
to do this again . . . but I always did, so I would, on occasion, daydream about it. Let's see if the
moves I thought up work . . . '

"Begin the beat, Sesshomaru, please."

Sesshomaru begins to clap. He also begins to chant, "Uzume . . . Uzume . . . Kagome."

Kagome begins to sing as she slowly dances in front him

She sings:
"She stepped up to the cave"
"With utmost seriousness"
"With grave determination"
"With proper decorum and a lofty mien"

Kagome dances and brushes against him as she unties her kimono.

"And with a bump and a bump and bump bump bump bump"
"Lifted my kimono and revealed myself in ways"

She swiftly opens and closes her kimono as flashes her breasts in Sesshomaru's face.

She smiles, but quickly turns, hiding herself from him.

He growls, softly.

"That caused the mouths of the exalted ones"
"To water and fall open,"

Sesshomaru smiles, licks his lips, but he continues to clap and chant.

Kagome, after moving a few feet away from him, opens her kimono. Kagome stands, her legs
spread. She reaches down to her crotch. She opens her jade gate and flashes its wet pink interior
at Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru grins, exposing his fangs as he licks his teeth.

His tail wags from side to side . . . faster and faster . .

"Then I played puppet with my labia"
"And paid myself a little lip service"

She rubs her fingers against her wetness and she brings her wet fingers to her mouth. She sucks
her fingers clean. She smiles, closes her kimono and brushes against Sesshomaru again. Her
hands go to his robes and open them. She spins away from him, looking over her shoulder,
smiling at him.

"Next time . . . " He growls.

She grins, lustily.

"I heaved my breast over one shoulder"
"Then the other over the other,"

She spins around, opening her kimono. Her hands cup her breasts, lifting them. She releases one
breast, bringing her hand to her mouth. She licks her fingers, one by one, and rubs her wet
fingers over the erect nipples. She moans as she repeats her actions with her other breast.

Sesshomaru continues to chant, but instead of clapping, one hand slaps the tree trunk, continuing
the beat. His other hand goes to his crotch, grasping his maleness and slowly stroking it.

"And I land on my backside"
"With a bump and a bump and a bump bump bump bump"

Kagome slinks to up Sesshomaru, stopping only centimeters from him. She slowly sits down in
front of him, her legs spread wide. She smiles, but closes her kimono, hiding herself from him.

Sesshomaru growls . . . his eyes twinkle.

"Admist the explosions of laughter and merriment"
"Of the esteemed crowd,"
"With breasted tied in a knot"
"My legs spread like a welcome mat,"

Kagome opens her kimono. One hand goes to her mouth as she slowly wets her fingers. The
other hand goes to her breast, rubbing it. Her wet hand, leaves a glistening trail, as she drags it
between her breasts and abdomen, as it goes to her crotch.

One finger, then a second finger enters her jade gate. Her thumb rubs her pearl. Her fingers
thrust in and out using the same beat that Sesshomaru is using . . .

Sesshomaru's hand moves up and down his maleness on that same beat . .

"I called in the spirits"
"and offered them my body"

"Almost done . . . " she hisses, between beats . .

"Yes . . " he hisses . .

"But they refused to take it"
"The crowd howled and laughed as I continued my dance,"
"Til Amaterasu couldn't stand it any longer"
"And rushed out to see what was what,"

"Now . . . Sesshomaru . . . "

"Yes . . . "

"And thus did laughter"
"Win the sun goddess from her dark cave,"
"And bring light and warmth back into the world"

Kagome finishes her song to Uzume .

Sesshomaru releases his control . . .

The jets of sperm hit Kagome on her face, breasts and crotch.

Kagome shudders in her orgasm . .

Sesshomaru leaves his seat on the tree trunk, he bends over her, with one hand he pushes her to
the ground. His mouth goes to her breast . . . he engulfs her nipple, he uses his tongue to play
with her erect nipple. "Sesshomaru . . . " She hisses, as she grabs the back of his head, holding it
in place.

"Kagome." Sesshomaru kisses her nipple and looks up into her face. His eyebrows rise in an
unspoken question.

Kagome sighs, "I felt something. Uzume heard, but . . . "

"But . . . we need to do more." Sesshomaru says as his mouth moves to her other breast, his long
tongue licking off his sperm.

"Yes . . . " Kagome's hands travel down his back, her fingernails scraping his skin.

Sesshomaru's head moves up her body. He hovers just above her face, staring into her eyes.
"Open your mouth . . "

"But . . . "

"I want to make love to your mouth, not kiss it."

Kagome closes her eyes, but her mouth slowly opens.

Sesshomaru's mouth covers hers. His tongue penetrates her mouth, beginning to explore her
mouth. Her tongue, after a small pause, finds his . .

Their tongues begin to dance in her mouth . . .

Her hands reach for his backside and grab his ass checks pulling him against her.

His hands cup her head, and his claw tips begin to slowly trace around her ears.

His maleness grows and begins to press against her jade gate.

Kagome opens her eyes and she slowly closes her mouth, and her teeth gently trap his tongue
inside her for a second.

She shifts her head, breaking the contact between their mouths, "Sit, up. Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru's eyebrows twitch. He whispers, "Sit, up?"

Her right hand releases his check and slaps it. "Yes, boy."

His hand reaches down between them and his clawed fingertips trap her nipple, tweaking it. "I'm
not Inu-yasha."

"Ah . . . yes." Kagome moans at the contact with her nipple. "You are a full breed Dog demon,
how else I am to give you orders." She giggles. "He, at least, could complain that he's half-
human, not a dog."

Sesshomaru growls, but his eyes twinkle. "No." He thrusts his hips, rubbing his maleness against
her exposed female flower. "I like it here."

Kagome moans in pleasure. Her hands go to the base of his tail. "Yes. Sesshomaru, sit, up." Her
fingers begin to rub and caress him. "Please."

Sesshomaru, pauses, "Why?"

Kagome blushes, "Because Sesshomaru . . . I've got one virginity left, my mouth, and I want to
lose it . . with you."

"You've never sucked a man's flute before?"

Kagome's shakes her head, no. "I tried to offer to do it with your brother, but he declined."

"Proves my brother's basic stupidity." A pause and he barks out, "Ouch!" as Kagome pinches
his tail.

"That plan of yours Sesshomaru means you can't insult him." Kagome smiles, and her eyes twinkle.

Sesshomaru pauses, his head twists, ‘I did not consider that aspect of the plan in detail.'

Sesshomaru sighs, "I suppose . . you are correct." He slowly lifts himself off her and sits himself
back on the tree trunk. "You do know . . . "

"That things will slip out?"

Sesshomaru nods.

"I understand. As long as you understand, that, there will be times when I mention him."

Sesshomaru sighs, but nods.

Kagome sits up and as she does, her clothes change. They change into a very tight, thin, tube top
and a micro miniskirt, both colored bright orange.

Sesshomaru raises his eyebrows, "And I thought your other clothes were indecent." he mumbles.

Kagome blushes, "These are a bit much, aren't they?" She shyly covers her breasts and crotch.
"Sesshomaru, you used romances to help you with me."
He nods.

"Well . . . my friend Yuka, has an older brother, and he has a collection of movies."

Sesshomaru nods, as he remembers her explanation of movies.

"And well, some of those movies are about . . . sex. Made in America pornos."

His eyebrows raise in question about that term. "Movies about things like the dance I just did,"
Kagome reaches out and softly grasps his maleness. "About kissing and making love to this.
About all sorts of things."

Her voice softly finishes. She looks at him, "And I'm going to use those movies with you."

"So, these clothes."

"Are what one of the actresses wore in one of those movies." Kagome whispers, "I never would
have worn something like this in public at home. But. Tonight, with you." Her other hand slowly
and gently grasps the twin balls hanging below his erect maleness.

Sesshomaru purrs.

Kagome moves over next to Sesshomaru's crotch, breathing on him. Her mouth twitches,
"Remember, Sesshomaru, this is my first time." she whispers.

Sesshomaru reaches down, cupping her chin and raising her head so he can look Kagome in the
eyes. "Kagome. I have had a few virgin girls in my life. Bribes from various demon lords
wanting my aid. But . . even those girls were experienced with their mouths."

"I'm saving my virginity, but I'll suck you off, types." Kagome mumbles.

He nods and he grins. "So . . . this is special for me, as well. I have never been the first man
inside a girl's mouth, before."

Kagome smiles, and whispers, "Thank you, Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru lets her chin go, and his hands go to her hand, directing her head to his crotch. His
tail wraps around her. It slowly and with a feather's touch begins to move up and down her back.

She moans, bending her back into his tail, loving the soft touch of his silky hair.

Kagome looks at his large, erect, red maleness and swallows. ‘The girls in the American films
loved this . . . but some of the girls in the Japanese ones didn't. I wonder . . . will I?' she thinks.

She kisses the tip of his maleness. She licks it, tasting him. ‘I could get to like this . . . ' she thinks.

He groans, his hands clench some of her hair.

She begins to lick him. At first she takes small licks, but soon her licks become longer. One of
her hands gently grasp his maleness, softly holding it in position and stroking it. Her other hand
reaches for the family jewels hanging beneath. She slowly begins to massage his sack.

"Yes . . . " Sesshomaru moans.

Kagome reaches the base of his maleness, she goes below it and licks his jewels. Both hands
begin to stroke his maleness. She takes one in her mouth and sucks.

Sesshomaru twitches.

She releases the first ball and changes to the second. She releases his family jewels, they are wet
from her spit, and begins to kiss her way up his shaft.

She pauses at the top of the shaft, looking at the head of his maleness. ‘A man's weapon,
indeed.' she thinks.

Kagome looks up at Sesshomaru's face. He is staring at her, lust shining in his eyes. Kagome
licks her lips. He nods.

She bends over him, lowering her mouth over the head of his maleness. She closes her mouth
and begins to suck him. ‘Remember no teeth.' she thinks.

Sesshomaru moans . .

Kagome's head begins to bob over him. She's not able to take much of him in her mouth, but . . .

Sesshomaru doesn't mind . .

One of Kagome's hands begin to stroke the part of Sesshomaru's maleness that doesn't fit in her
mouth. The other hand drops to her crotch and finds her female flower, her hand strokes herself.

The base of Sesshomaru maleness expands further and his knot slowly grows.

"Soon . . . " Sesshomaru hisses . .

Kagome's bobbing head speeds up.

Her stroking and rubbing hands speed up . . .

"Now . . . " Sesshomaru growls . .

Kagome's eyes grow very wide and her mouth pops off him. Jets of his sperm coat her face and
hair, as she begins to cough and sputter. "Cough . . . cough."

‘I wasn't expecting that much . . . ' she thinks. She swallows trying to control the coughing.

Sesshomaru, bends down and easily lifts her up, placing her in his lap. "Kagome?" he whispers.

"Cough. I'm." She clears her throat. "I'm ok. Just surprised me."

"You're sure?" Concern colors his voice.

She looks at him, his white sperm streaking her face and hair, she smiles. "I'm fine, Sesshomaru.
Next time, I'll know and I'll be prepared."

He reaches out and using his fingers, begins to clean her face.

Kagome grimaces, "I wasn't very good, was I?"

Sesshomaru holds his sperm-covered finger in front of her mouth. "You, Kagome, were and are
everything I could hope for."

"But."

"No, buts. Teaching you." Sesshomaru's eyes twinkle. "Is and will be very enjoyable. And gives
me far more pleasure then any experienced professional geisha ever could give me."

Kagome smiles, looks at his slimy finger. ‘I do need to get used to it . . . and I didn't really taste
it before.' She swallows his finger and sucks it clean. ‘Hmmm. Not my favorite flavor, but I can
get used to it.'

She releases his finger. "It still didn't work, though, Sesshomaru. I could feel her, but . . . "

"We are far from Japan." he replies.

She nods.

He grins, "Now, lay down, Kagome."

She swallows, "And?"

"And I will return the favor you just did to me."

"I would have thought . . . "

"Ahh. Yes, if you were a geisha, I would just use your body for my pleasure." Sesshomaru
reaches out and tweaks her nipples. "But . . you are not a geisha. And even if you will not let me
mark you . . you are my mate . . . and your pleasure is very important to me."

Kagome lays down on the ground before Sesshomaru. Her clothes change becoming a cloak to
protect her back from the rocks on the ground.

Sesshomaru begins to lick and clean her face.

Kagome softly whispers, "Doesn't that."

"It's not the favorite thing I've ever ate, Kagome, but I've eaten it before." Sesshomaru whispers
as his head and mouth drop and begin to kiss, lick and suck her upper chest.

She moans, grabbing his thick silky hair and pressing his head against her breasts.

Sesshomaru lifts his head, staring into her eyes, as she follows his path down her body. "Besides,
I remember tasting you . . and I want to see if tasting you from the source is as good."

His mouth captures one of her rock hard nipples and he sucks it. His tongue twirls around the tip.

"Ummm . . . " Kagome moans, "Then quit teasing me . . . " she whines as she tries to push his
head down her body.

Sesshomaru flashes a fang filled grin as he moves to other breast. This time he places her nipple
between his two long fangs, gently biting it.

"Sesshomaru . . . " Kagome whines. "Please . . . "

Sesshomaru releases her nipples and slowly begins to lick his way down her body.

"Thank you . . . " Kagome sighs in relief.

Sesshomaru's tail arches over him. It stops just above her breasts and begins to slowly wag back
and forth across her chest. The soft feathery hair brushes ever so gently over her sensitive breasts
. . . exciting them.

"Beast . . . " Kagome moans as she removes one hand from his head and grabs the tip of his tail,
so she can move it from breast to breast at her pace.

"Of course." Sesshomaru mumbles as he removes his tongue from her belly button. "You really
aren't ticklish there, are you?"

"Nope."

"But . . . you are ticklish here." Sesshomaru begins to lick across her pubic mound. "Tomorrow.
I'll shave you again."

Kagome's legs wrap around him, squeezing him, trying to hold him in place. Her body thrusts
upward, trying to escape that tongue . .

"Please, Sesshomaru . . . " Kagome moans. Her hand on top of his head grabs a chunk of hair
and pulls.

Sesshomaru opens his mouth wide and covers her female flower. The tips of his fangs, slowly
indent into her skin. His tongue begins to slowly and gently stoke her opening, tasting her and
teasing her.

"Ummm . . . " Kagome moans as she orgasms.

He holds her in place as she bucks under his tongue.

"Lick me, Sesshomaru! Please put something inside me!" she squeals

One of his hands goes to the base of her jade door and opens it. He slowly works one finger into
her. His tongue follows the finger into her, reaching deep inside her.

"Yes . . good puppy."

Sesshomaru looks up, and lifts his mouth off her for a second. "Puppy?"

Kagome looks down at him. His mouth and lower face are covered in her juices. "What else can
I call you?"

"You are a bitch, then?"

"I'm making love to a dog demon . . . so, yes." she hisses. "Now lick, puppy!" she orders.

Sesshomaru smiles, but lowers his mouth Kagome's wet, open and inviting female flower. He
finds her female pearl and he licks it.

"Yes!" she screams as she orgasms, her hand, still entangled in his hair, tries to shove his head
into her.

He places a second finger into her jade opening and begins to slowly thrust them in and out. His
tongue licks her pearl at the same time his fingers thrust into her. Kagome moans, her thighs are
white from the pressure she's exerting as she squeezes him. Her hand, holding his tail, rubs its
tip harder and faster into her breasts.

Sesshomaru's mouth lifts off Kagome for a second, "Scream her name." he says quickly, then
his mouth recaptures her pearl.

Kagome blinks, confused for a second, then she begins to scream, "Uzume!"

Sesshomaru gently bites her pearl as he thrusts into her with a third finger.

"Uzume!" Kagome screams as she orgasms . . . her body stiffens and twists and bucks under
Sesshomaru's mouth.

The orgasm . . . continues . . .

Kagome's body collapses under him, motionless.

Sesshomaru leaves her lower body and quickly moves up her body. "Kagome?" He whispers in concern.

Kagome opens her eyes, blinks a couple of times. She hugs him and kisses him all over his face.
"That was wonderful, my dear loving Sesshomaru."

"Are you ok?"

Kagome grins. "Yes, Never better."

"Did she?"

Kagome sighs, and nods. "Yes, but she didn't say anything that we didn't already know."

"Damn."

"It's ok, Sesshomaru. I'll tell you everything in a little while." She reaches down and grabs his
erect maleness. "Now for the final event . . . "

"No." Sesshomaru states as he grabs her wrist.

"Sesshomaru?"

"Use your mystical senses, Miko Higurashi Kagome."

Kagome looks around, and she frowns. "When did they show up?"

She can sense, surrounding them, invisible to the naked eye is a small group of entities with evil
auras'.

"They've been slowly assembling, starting during your dance. The amount of power you were
releasing attracted them. I'm sure."

"Why didn't you stop me?"

"It's still daylight." Sesshomaru says.

Kagome looks at the horizon. There is still about half an hour of sunlight left.

Sesshomaru explains, "I'm sure that they are waiting for nightfall, before they attack. Last night,
they were confused and unorganized by the death of the emperor. Tonight . . . "

"Tonight, we get attacked."

Sesshomaru nods. His hand goes to her lower opening, gently patting it. "I'm sure you don't
want to be interrupted, nor do I want to be rushed."

"So . . . not now." Kagome grimaces. She looks at him, "You're sure that they'll wait for
nightfall?"

"I can sense more creatures approaching. If I were their general, after last night, I'd want to
make sure that we would be attacked by overwhelming numbers, so they'll wait until nightfall."

Kagome sighs. "Come here." she whispers. "Closer."

Sesshomaru bends over her. She grabs his head and kisses his forehead and nose. "Thank you,
Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands. This was wonderful."

Sesshomaru kisses her nose. "And you, Lady Higurashi Kagome, are a wonderful bed partner
and mate."

Kagome grimaces at the ‘mate' part of his statement. "We'll talk about that later, Sesshomaru.
Right now. Let's get out of here, before they decide to attack."

They slowly separate, looking at each other, and smiling as they stand. "You know that we do
need to clean up?" She asks.

"Something for the next world, Kagome." Sesshomaru replies, with a slight leer in his tone.

Kagome shivers in pleasure, and she nods. "Something to look forward to."

"You may ask the spirit in your clothes to clean themselves. And." Sesshomaru begins.

"And I use them to wipe up our mess, and then they will clean themselves again." Kagome
finishes. He nods.

A few minutes later, Sesshomaru and Kagome are standing in the middle of the clearing. Both
are wearing the traditional clothes and, at least from a distance, appear to be clean. Even
Kagome's human nose can smell the aftereffects of their lust, however. "We stink." she mumbles.

"No. Higurashi Kagome, this is not an offensive odor."

Kagome blushes.

"What did Uzume tell you?" he asks.

"She pretty much confirmed what we knew. The cube is a device of powerful chaos. We are
targeted by some god or gods and this is a test for one or both of us."

He nods.

"Apparently each universe we go to has different gods, because she was surprised by my
presence. And I did ask her to look after the me in this world. She agreed."

Sesshomaru sighs. "As I thought. Nothing else?"

Kagome shakes her head, no. ‘She did mention something, a clue that might point out which god
is testing me, but, I want to be sure before I tell him or inu-yasha. If it is who I think it is . . . I
want to confront him, myself.' she thinks.

Kagome's mouth twitches, "Sorry, there was one other thing, Sesshomaru, but it's only about
me."

"Go on." Sesshomaru orders, ‘I thought she was hiding something, this must be it.'

"Apparently the Uzume from our world, placed a spell on me."

Sesshomaru's eyebrow raises asking the obvious question.

"It's the reason my underwear keeps vanishing." She blushes. ‘She set it up so that they would
vanish if I was alone with a man for a long period of time. It never really kicked in with Inu-
yasha, because he and I were never alone, really. But. On this trip with Sesshomaru . . . it's
kicked in with a vengeance.' she thinks.

"Did she remove it?" he asks. ‘I hope not, but . . '

Kagome's blush deepens, she looks at the ground and mumbles, "Well . . . no." She swallows.
"She was offended that it took you to remind me that when I'm worshiping her, I really need to
be thinking about her during my orgasm."

"I see . . . " he hisses. "And?"

"I don't know if I will ever be able to wear underwear again." she whispers, her face beat red.

"Excellent."

Kagome's head snaps up, she glares at him, "Men." she hisses. She turns away from him, her
anger visibly glowing.

"Ah . . . " Sesshomaru begins to speak.

"Hand me that cube, Sesshomaru." she orders in a very brusque way. "I want to figure out where
we go to next."

Sesshomaru grimaces, but he flips her the cube, making sure they don't touch.

Kagome, glances at the sky, ‘I've got a few minutes before sundown, so. Let's see what happens
if I use my mystical senses as I twist the cube, perhaps . . . I'll feel something.' she thinks,
concentrating fully on the cube.

Sesshomaru swallows. ‘Well . . I offended her when she was looking for support. I'll just have to
wait and see . . maybe . . . she will want to clean up when we get to the next world, perhaps, then
. . . the right technique.' he thinks. ‘And she'll forgive me.'

Kagome frowns and she stops twisting the cube. "Sesshomaru. Look closely." She holds up the
cube, so he can see exactly what she's doing. "When I twist it like this. I feel something. I really
don't know what. See, if you can figure it out." She flips the cube to him.

He holds it, he twists it a little and twists it back into the position Kagome had it in. "Yes.
Something. Something missing?" he shrugs.

"Do you want to try it?" Kagome asks.

Sesshomaru purses his lips. "I'm not sure. You?"

Kagome shrugs. "My instincts are telling me that it's an important setting, but why?"

Sesshomaru nods. "Then let's try it."

He holds out the cube . .

She touches it . . . They vanish . .

Prologue chapter 40: (secret title)

Kagome and Sesshomaru appear.

Kagome is wearing a plain white robe, with a sword strapped to her side.

Sesshomaru is wearing a plain white robe, a white backpack on his back and two swords
strapped to his side.

She takes a deep breath, as if from shock. She thinks in a panic, ‘There is no magic in this world
. . . '

Kagome looks around in fright. They are standing in a small clearing in an oak forest. It is high
summer on a hot day. Nobody is around them.

Sesshomaru coughs, goes down to one knee, as if the weight of the backpack was too much.
"Kagome . . . " He sputters . .

Sesshomaru collapses onto the ground . . .

She rushes to his side, bending over him. She tries to take off the backpack, so she can flip him
over and examine him.

Kagome thinks in a panic, ‘No magic . . . he is a magical being . . . is he alive?'

Chapter 40: true title: the world with No Magic . .

One of my goals in this chapter was . . . to see if I could write this well enough . . that, hopefully,
some my readers came close to needing to change underwear after reading this.

For those wondering: Yes, I will, in a future chapter, have Kagome think about and
doubt/question Inu/Kag. But . . . before that happens, I want her to go a couple of days without
thinking of him . . . before she remembers him and starts to think about him.

Author's note: Real life will be affecting me the next week or so . . . I will still post normally, but
the size of the chapters and/or how polished they are . . . could be affected.

Thank you for reading, Jeff Shelton
