Kagura arrived just in time to defend Miroku's sexuality. They moved out to the patio, leaving Sota and Kohaku to raid the kitchen to their content, talking away and nodding a lot to each other's comment.

Kagome set down some cool drinks and little sandwiches she saw on the Food Network that morning. She was however, disappointed when Sango slapped the topic on the top of her mind down without warning.

"So, Kagura. You broke up with my brother?"

Kagura immediately lost the entire amount positive attitude left in her body and face. She looked at Sango and raised an eyebrow. "Yes, I did. And exactly since when have you referred to Sesshomaru as 'your brother'?"

"Oh, I just started. But you know, half the family's talking about it, so I thought I'd get the story from you and not them."

"Half the family as in?"

"Oh, you know the gossipers. So, what did happen?"

"That's none of your business." Kagura snapped.

"It is my business, because, see. You affect Sesshomaru, which affects Inuyasha and Father, which affects me. So, it is my business. Tell me Kagura, why would you ever want to leave someone who loves you so much?" Sango asked, putting her head in her palm with her elbow on the table.

Kagura stared at her, obviously annoyed and surprised at this sudden attack for information.

"My reasons, are not for you to know. But since you're being the nosey little bitch you've always been-" Sango smiled "-I'll tell you this. You can tell Sesshomaru, that I want the papers drawn up before the end of next week. Or else this is going public."

"He won't." Sango said shrugging. "He's completely distraught over this. I don't think I've ever seen him so sick, or at all for that matter. He's still in heat and he says you won't even talk to him."

"Why would I need to speak to him? So he can try to convince me to come back? So he can talk me out of the divorce? I don't think so."

Sango tilted her head. "Well, why'd you break it off? Because of what happened two years ago?"

"That... and the fact that, he can't make me happy."

Sango smiled. "Oh! Right... because he doesn't want a family or a house, or a loving wife to come home to every day... Right..."

Kagura arched a perfectly sculpted eye brow. "What would you know about what he wants?"

"I listen to everything, especially when he talks for more than two sentences at a time. Besides, he's not that hard to read. Plus, Father tells me everything as well, and since Sesshomaru tells him everything... I get it all."

"Well, Sesshomaru and I are too different to have a future together. Perhaps he can remarry to one of those bitches that swoon over his every step...."

"He doesn't want them," Sango said crossing her arms. "He wants you."


Izayoi hummed the tune to some unknown song on the radio that sat atop of the fridge. She wiped the counters as she went, wiping everything on them on way before she broke out the disinfectant stuff. Today was Tuesday, and Tuesday, she cleaned everything. Why Tuesday? No one knew. She broke off cleaning to act out a guitar solo, "wahhh-ing" to her hearts content. Little did she know that an all too sneaky and quiet figure was leaning on the window next to the window that led to the dining room, perfectly still and silent, and had been watching her for a while now.

Inutaisho smiled softly when he watched his wife dance dorkishly to the music blaring from the radio above the fridge. He waited until Inuyasha had gone over to it and opened the fridge, looking for somewhere to put the bowl of freshly cut melon. Inutaisho moved over to the door, and as soon as she bent down he slipped inside, walking over quietly and reaching up to turn the radio off. Izayoi jerked to stand up when the music stopped. She looked around and raised an eyebrow, not realizing that her husband was behind the big chrome door. She reached up and pushed the on button, shrugging as it came on and bending to pick up the bowl off the floor where it had fallen, thankfully it had been plastic.

Inutaisho turned it off again, and moved his hand quickly, Izayoi looking up and tilting her head. Inutaisho bit back the urge to laugh, watching his wife through the small crack between the door and fridge. Iza reached up and pushed the button again, this time Inutaisho grabbed her wrists firmly, and she let out a heart wrenching scream.

Inutaisho let go and closed the fridge door, smiling as Iza stopped screaming and huffed, crossing her arms and tapping her foot, trying her best not to smile.

"Come now..." Inutaisho purred, advancing on her. "You must be glad to have me home, dear wife."

"I can't believe you did that! That was soo mean!" she whined. "You scared the crap out of me!"

"Ohh, but now I'm here to comfort you, let's get to comforting." he said in a sultry voice, one handing moving up to pull his tie loose.

"You scare me like that and now you want sex?" she asked crossing her arms again.

"No, I scared you like that and now you want sex." He inhaled deeply. "I love it when you go into heat." he whispered.

Izayoi back up, but Inutaisho scooped her to him, holding her against his chest as he bent down to kiss her.

Iza moaned softly, her arms moving up to wrap around his neck, her fingers lacing into his beautiful snowy hair. Inutaisho growled into her mouth, picking her up against him and walking towards the door, her legs bending up behind her. Iza flipped her lower half towards him, putting her legs up around his hips. They smiled to each other and Inutaisho took his wife into their bedroom, to their bed. He laid her down and bent over her little form, pulling her dress up her legs as he kissed her softly. Izayoi giggled as she felt sharp talons drag down the inside of her thigh, she moaned softly, and bit her lower lip as the slender fingers moved up towards her silk panties.

"Tai, can't it wait until after dinner?" she asked quietly, gasping as his talons raked gently down the front of her sex.

"No." he said simply, starting to unbutton on her dress from the bottom up.

"You know how long it takes to button this thing back up?" she asked, knowing the constant effort for conversation would annoy him to no end. "I made a pie today, should we have it with dinner-"

"Woman!" Inutaisho snapped. "Cease your rambling... Or I shall be forced to punish you."

"Ohhhh, punishment, huh? What kind?"

"The kind that hurts. Now, would you do me the favor of being quiet long enough that I may get you profoundly wet?"

Izayoi giggled and nodded, watching as he unbuttoned her dress, his eyes still locked with hers. Izayoi helped, starting to open her dress from the top, wondering why he didn't just take the damn thing off her. She became a little impatient, and wiggled free of him, shifting up onto her knees and jerking her dress over her head. She tossed it away, quickly followed by her bra and panties. "There, that's better." she said reaching for him and bringing him closer to her, his face cupped in her hands. They laid down again, this time Inutaisho under his wife, smiling as she began to undress him as well.

Once clothing was discarded, the couple rolled together, black hair mixed with white as they twisted and turned, stroking, kissing, and caressing each other's bodies. They rolled on the bed, legs entwined and lips wandering everywhere. Izayoi moaned as her husband's hand came close to her sex, only to stray away again. She took his hand and set it between her legs, pulling his chin to kiss her again.

"Iza..." he whispered, feeling around on her body as though he hadn't before. He groaned into her ear when she grabbed his length and began to jerk, urging him to grow.

Like always, Izayoi wasted no time, pulling him towards her, his body following as she slipping his length inside her flesh. Iza wasn't normally obsessed with foreplay, and that was fine with her mate. They began to rut with force, slamming against each other with excessive need.

It took hours for the couple to even begin to calm down, Izayoi moaning as she was forced to let Inutaisho take control, her human body growing weaker but her spirit still eager and excited. They sat together, Iza sitting on his lap with her limbs wrapped tightly around her mate, whimpering as he moved her on him, holding her tight. They whispered each other's names, Izayoi making small demands of his performance, harder, faster, more, more...

Inutaisho leaned his head back and stretched his jaw out, leaning the rest of his body and rolling them over, landing on top of his wife and continued to move with long, hard thrusts. He reached down and stopped, removing himself from his wife and turning her over. Izayoi didn't complain, she turned, and raised her ass up, keeping the upper part of her torso snuggled down onto the bed. He slipped himself back into her, rocking his hips harshly, careful not to grab her flesh too hard. He took deep breaths as Izayoi panted into the sheets, moaning as hot lips trailed up her spine.

The inuyoukai moved all of his mate's hair away from the back of her neck, he ran his fingers down the right side, and frowned a little.

His mark was fading again.

He leaned over her, and began to lick the area, cleaning it thoroughly as his hips continued to thrust away into her.

Izayoi looked over her shoulder, and shook her head. "Tai, don't. Not right now." she said quietly. "Later." she whined before a moan.

But Inutaisho didn't listen, he kissed the faded scars of his mark, and leaned his head back, stretching his jaw out as his teeth grew out, sharpening and preparing for the tearing of flesh. His eyes tinted over with a deep red, and the jagged stripes on his cheeks darkened as the animal lurking inside his soul took over to reclaim what was his.

He trusted harder, holding Izayoi down so she didn't move. Bending back down, he kissed her mark again, suckling as she shook her head, telling him no in her head but unable to speak as her body began to shake.

Inutaisho waited until orgasm took her, and shuddered as he released his seed into her womb. He bent over, holding her down as best he could, poisoning his mouth over the faded mark, trying his best to get the exact spot again. She calmed down for a few seconds, and he drove his fangs into her flesh, holding her as she struggled a little under him from the pain. Izayoi calmed down slowly, both from her orgasm as the throbbing ache in her neck. She sniffled a little, and then let her eyes fall as her mate began to clean her wound caringly, standing over her on all fours, keeping her down below him possessively.

He kissed her cheek a bit, and lay down with one leg over hers, his arm around her. He panted a little, and held his mate with a strong and obvious sense of possessiveness. He smiled softly, inhaling the scent of her body freshly coated with pure him. Once he was done he nuzzled her cheek and nipped lightly at her shoulder. Izayoi nuzzled under his chin, knowing that words meant nothing at this moment.

He was the demon... her loving animal.


The security system beeped quietly as the front door of the apartment opened. Kagura reached over as she came in and punched in the short code, flicking the lights on and sighing as she closed the door behind her. Alone at last. Kanna was spending a week with one of her little orchestra friends, so Kagura had the apartment to herself. She didn't have to look at anyone for three whole days. Within the next few steps she had all but her panties, bra and blouse off, tossed over the back of the couch. She pulled her hair down, and rubbed her neck as she went into the kitchen to get something to drink. Quietly she wondered if she should put alcohol in it or not.

The little get together with Kagome hadn't begun or ended well. She didn't appreciate being told how to handle Sesshomaru, what she should do, what she should forgive. And she especially didn't like Kohaku asking about Rin every chance he got. In the end, about an hour and half after arrival and five minutes after Inuyasha, she had left, and gone to dinner with herself. She drove around for a little bit, and then came home.

And here she was, stirring a cup of tea quietly, enjoying the solitude of her peaceful home. She walked over to the hall, turning the thermostat up as she went to her bedroom to put clothes on. She changed into some pajamas, planning to go to bed early and sleep for a day or two. She could do with some rest right now, she was so stressed that she had even been snapping at poor little Kanna.

Kagura walked over to her large maroon clad bed, sitting down and picking her tea back up, taking a drink before she picked up the remote and turned on the television that hung on the wall across from her bed. She crossed her legs, pushing back the blankets and flipping through the station before she settled with the news on YTV. She listened to the quickly speaking Hiraque, yawning and scooting back in her bed, leaning back onto the headboard and picking up the book that sat on her nightstand. The news was boring, the only thing she even glanced up for was the mention of boar youkai in China that had attacked a village, killing several people.

Kagura muted it, and began to read to help her relax. After ten minutes of reading the same page several times and not realizing she snapped it shut and huffed, gulping down the rest of her warm tea. Angry at herself for not being able to focus on one thing at a time, she put the book down, turned the lights off, and sunk down into her bed, pulling the blankets up to her ears as she curled up.

She forced her eyes closed, and took a deep breath, determined to get to sleep before midnight. She glanced over her shoulder, seeing she had forty five minutes before her goal was up. Kagura closed her eyes and turned around, trying to clear her mind so she could rest. She smiled just as darkness began to consume her, feeling her body relax as she snuggled to her pillow when suddenly, there were three sharp booms that rang through her apartment. Kagura was up in a jolt, and moved faster than ever towards the hall.

She flicked the hall light on, and moved toward the front door, rubbing her eyes as she wondered who the fuck was banging on her door at this damn time of night.

Kagura ripped the door open, and took a step back seeing a panting figure standing there, leaning on his forearms on the door frame. Long, snowy white hair shadowed his face, and his wrinkled jeans and white t-shirt made him look pathetic. More pathetic than Kagura had ever seen him before. She took a step back and went to shut the door, but before she could think he was against her, pinning her to the wall behind the door. She gasped, looking up at his light red eyes as he shoved the door shut. The slam made her flinch, and she licked her dry lips, looking away from his face.

"You need to leave, Sesshomaru." she said quietly.

Sesshomaru ignored her, stepping forward, slipping one leg between hers, the rest of his body holding her to the wall. His hands moved from her wrists, down her arms and sides to her hips. His head tilted to look at her, one hand slipping back up her body to cup her cheek. "I cannot." he whispered. "Kagura I must have you... just once."

"No!" Kagura yelled, putting her hands on him and pushing.

Sesshomaru stood his ground, and she stopped, knowing he was too strong for her in this state. "I will not sleep with you." she whispered, looking back into his face.

He made a quiet whimper almost like a young pup that had skinned their knee, and bent to nuzzle her cheek, but she turned her head away from him. "I said no." she repeated. "No amount of rubbing your cheek to mine will change my answer."

He loosened his hold on her, pulling her against him gently. "Please." he begged into her ear weakly. "I won't make it last, just once."

"I'm not a whore to just be bargained with!" Kagura yelled, her head snapping back to him. "Get out of my apartment you sad, horny, pathetic bastard!" she snapped.

Sesshomaru growled, his eyes darkening and his expression becoming not so pathetic anymore. Kagura tried to back up into the wall, realizing her mistake. She was so foolish to insult a youkai on the brink of insanity in the worst of his heat cycle. She bowed her head, reluctant to look him in the eyes, like a good, submissive female. She closed her eyes as he moved, lowering his head again to hers, moving her hair and bending to kissing the inside of her neck. He pushed her head over, making her tilt it at an almost painful angle.

"Sesshomaru..." Kagura whispered, trying to breath as his breath moved up to her ear. "Why don't we to your house? Your bed?" she asked. "Wouldn't you like my scent on your sheets once more?"

The inuyoukai paused, and looked at her. She moved a shaky hand up to touch his neck. "Did you drive here?" she asked. He shook his head, bending to brush his lips against hers. "You leapt across buildings? Like an animal?" she asked with a little laugh. She felt him nodded. "Carry me then, carry me back to your bedroom..."

Sesshomaru backed up, pulling her with him as he reached for the door. He opened the door and stepped out into the hall with her, but she looked back into the apartment. "My keys..." she said letting go of him. Sesshomaru looked both ways down the hall as she slipped back inside her house to retrieve her keys. And as he turned around, he heard a loud slam, and two clicks.

Kagura pressed herself to the now locked door, and she leaned her head back as he growled loudly against it in anger. She moved to her alarm system and pressed her thumb on the small electronic pad. The door stopped moving, but she could still hear him outside, yelling and bursting with anger. Through the apartment she heard the clicks of every window locking, and she went back to the front door. She bowed her head.

"Sesshomaru... I'm so sorry..."


Inuyasha groaned as he felt his warm pillow slip from his arms and move from the bed. He peeked out from under the blankets and saw his wife walking around the bed, scratching the back of her neck. He moved onto his knees and quickly grabbed her by the corner of the bed. Kagome yelped and laughed as Inuyasha jerked her back and tossed her beneath him. He moved the blankets and laid on top of her, pulling the sheets over them and attacking her neck with kisses.

Kagome giggled and laughed, trying to fight him off. "Husband... my brother is right down the hall." she warned.

"You didn't care last night..." he whispered, and they laughed together, Inuyasha fighting his way between her legs. He laid into her, holding her arms down and kissing her lips gently.

Kagome smiled, leaning her head away and locking her legs around his hips. She giggled as he kissed up her neck and rubbed his groin against her.

The both froze as a soft knock came to the door. Kagome peek over his shoulder and giggled. "Who is it?" she called.

"Um... it’s your brother." Sota said awkwardly. "I was going to ask when you were taking me home, but then I got here and you were giggling and stuff..."

Kagome laughed. "I'll be out in a few minutes to make breakfast!" she called.

Inuyasha waited until the footsteps reached the stairs to resume their heavy petting, he scooted up against her and smiled. "Think he heard us last night?" he asked quietly.

Kagome blushed and nodded a little.

He smiled wickedly. "Hope he doesn't hear us now."

"No!" Kagome hissed. "I am not having sex with my brother in our house."

"Like I said, you didn't mind last night."

"Okay, awake in our house. He's expecting me-"

"In a few minutes. We'll just have to stretch that few minutes..."

"No." Kagome said again as he lowered his kisses to her chest. "No... Its not gonna work." she repeated as he disappeared under the sheet and blanket. "You feel anything? I don't feel anything-" she stopped suddenly and her mouth hung open in a surprised expression. She jerked a little and laughed, leaned her head back and moaning softly, taking a deep breath. Kagome liked her lips and put her hands under the blankets to find her husbands head between her legs. Her fingers found his ears and he paused, Kagome heard a low purr erupt from him as she stroked the little fuzzy appendages with her fingernails.

After a few minutes of ragged breathing and her hips moving uncontrollably Kagome pulled him up by his ears and he looked at her, his golden eyes darkened with passion. He licked his lips. "What's wrong?" he asked, kissing her chest and caressing her breasts.

"Nothing." Kagome managed to say between breaths. She pushed on his shoulders, and Inuyasha turned over with her demand, lying on his back as she rose above him. "I just wanted to be on top."


Sota rolled his eyes as he reached the top of the stairs, could they keep their hands off each other for more than ten hours? Or at least until he left? Did they even know he could hear them halfway down the hall? He trudged back downstairs and plopped on the couch. It was twenty minutes before his sister came downstairs in her pajamas, which looked like they had not been worn to bed at all... She came into the living room and smiled, pushing her brushed hair behind her ears. "So, what do you want for breakfast?" she asked.

"Not to puke." Sota said quickly, looking at her.

"Oh, shut up."

"It’s disgusting!" He exclaimed.

"Having sex with my husband is not disgusting."

"You shouldn't be having sex at all with me here! It’s gross. My sister is supposed to be a role model for Me." he said crossing his arms.

"Okay, so follow my example and wait until you’re married."

"Oh hell no."

Kagome was about to slap her little brother until she realized the voice hadn't come from him. She turned around to see her husband coming in wearing only a pair of loose flannel pants. He walked over and sat down on the ottoman. "If he waits until marriage he won't know what the fuck to do."

"Well, its better if you wait."

"Maybe for the girl. If I had waited we wouldn't be fucking half as much as we do now. Probably not even half of that."

"We wouldn't be having sex every other night?" Kagome asked crossing her arms.

"Probably not, do you know how bad I was when I lost my virginity? I sucked. And not in the good way."

"How bad did you suck?"

"Well you'd probably be faking it most of the time. I didn't shit about sex until I lost my virginity. Two months later of course, my Father calls me into his office and we have this... three hour discussion about the female body and how it works and what's a clitoris, yada yada yada. After that I wasn't too bad, but with instruction from my girlfriends I got better, and better. And better."

"What's a clitoris?" Sota asked a little confused.

Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other. "Don't you dare." Kagome warned.

"I wasn't gonna!" Inuyasha said defensively, getting up and backing away to the kitchen.

Once he was gonna Sota looked at Kagome. "What is it?" he asked again.

"Ask me in two years." Kagome said getting up to follow her husband.

Kagome found him rummaging in the fridge, and he emerged with a carton of eggs and three white packages. Kagome rolled her eyes. "Oh come on, I don't wanna cook a huge breakfast..." she moaned.

"You don't have to," Inuyasha said walking over to the stove. "I can cook... a little."

"Uh huh," Kagome said hopping up on the counter. "Let's see then."

"See what?" Sota asked as he walked in.

"My dear husband is going to cook us breakfast."

" 'Us'? " Inuyasha asked. "No no no, see I'm making my food. I'm not gonna have you guys complaining at how bad its gonna taste." He said unwrapping his daily amounts of meat.

"I thought you could cook!" Kagome said crossing her arms.

"I said..." Inuyasha stated pointing a spatula at her. "That I can cook, a little. And I never said it tasted good." he said smirking.

"Move." Kagome said hopping down and pushing him aside. "Sota, what all do you want?" she asked. "I know what he'll eat." she said pointing to her husband with her thumb over her should as he went to the table.


Kagome took Sota home after breakfast, Inuyasha collapsing back into bed to sleep some more after throwing his night pants at Kagome from the top of the stairs. She chatted with her Mother for a while, and slapped Sota upside his head when he asked what a clitoris was. She stayed for lunch, and went to visit Kagura for a while before returning home.

She walked out of the elevator digging in her purse, looking down the long empty hall before she reached the first door. Kagome looked around, noting that there was an air of awkwardness about the place. She knocked on the door, and heard no sound from within afterwards. she knocked again, and put her hand on her hips.

"Kagura I saw you car in the parking lot!" she yelled, knocking again. She tried to open the door, and immediately yanked it back with a yelp. "What the-?" she whispered, looking at the glowing handle. Was it on fire inside or something?

Kagome took her keys out and fiddled around the ring until she found the right one. Careful not to touch the handle she slipped the key in and turned it. She was lucky she had a spare key for when Kagura went out of town a few months ago. She reached to touch it, finding it much cooler and touchable now. Kagome quickly opened the door and paused, watching it swing open and bob the wall behind it before she crossed the threshold. She pulled her key out and pushed the door shut, not wanting to touch it again if not need be.

"Kagura!" she called, annoyed that she had to get her hand shocked to get inside.

"Kagome?!" she heard a voice call from the back of the apartment, and then Kagura's head poked out from around the corner down the hall.

"What the hell was that?!" Kagome yelled, pointing to the door as she went around the wall to the kitchen.

Kagura followed, a little taken back by Kagome's new language.

Kagome went in the kitchen and opened the freezer door, putting her hand inside on a wrapped package of meat. "I thought my hand was being fried." she said quietly.

"I didn't want to be disturbed." Kagura said taking her hand and looking at it.

"You don't put up a youkai barrier if you just don't want to be disturbed." Kagome said with a sigh. "If Sesshomaru is bothering you that much then talk to Father."

Kagura crossed her arms and raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow. "And why it is, exactly, that everyone is determined to remind me of that cheating canine?"

"Oh come on, I have to hear it from Sango, and Inuyasha. 'Sesshomaru hasn't been to work in a week, and it's all that stupid weather-winding bitch's fault'... I wish he'd just shut up about it already." she said rolling her eyes. "And Sango's no better... 'I have to listen to Father complain that his son is being an ignorant pup who won't accept his own feelings and who needs a large amount of couples counseling.' Who do I look like? Everyone else's counselor? I barely know the guy, don't come crying to me about him."

Kagura took a deep breath. "Well until that 'Ignorant pup' answers my questions without trying to hump me I'll speak to him."

"Make him meet you in a public place or something, that'd suck, huh?" Kagome suggested as she took out a small carton of ice cream and went over tot he dishwasher to retrieve a spoon.

Kagura put a finger under her chin. "Well..."

"Wait!" Kagome said standing back up with the spoon. "You can't do that to him, he'd go insane. He would break composure... wouldn't he?" she asked.

Kagura smiled, her ivory fangs glistening as she laughed.


~~~ >.> ~~~


It was only the next day after Kagura’s visit from Kagome that she was sitting on her bathroom counter, holding her phone as she sipped a glass of red wine. She leaned back against the mirror and pushed a few buttons with the tip of her thumb nail. She slipped it up next to her ear, her other hand pushing a few stray hairs back and checking her bun to make sure it was still intact.

The annoying ring last for almost a minute before the distinct click of someone picking up the other end.

A tired voice answered her. “Hai?” he asked, obviously oblivious to that fact that he wasn’t even speaking Japanese now.

“Sesshomaru?” she asked quietly.

There was a strained pause, and a small breath. “Kagura?” he asked.

“Yes, it’s me… listen, I was wondering, if you would be interested in joining me fore lunch today.”

“Lunch? What’s the time?” he asked groggily.

“Almost ten. I hope I didn’t wake you.” She said quietly, looking at herself in the mirror over her shoulder.

“It’s fine… Yes, of course I will. At your apartment?” he asked, almost hopefully.

Kagura chuckled. “No, at Villari's, I was thinking. I’m in the mood for exotic food right now.”

“Villari's? But, it’ll be so crowded.”

Kagura shrugged though he couldn’t see. “Fine, never mind-“

“No!” he yelled. “Villari's is fine. I’ll make a reservation.”

“I already have.” Kagura said quickly. She fiddled with the hem of her silk robe and sighed. “Meet me by noon, or don’t bother calling again.” She said, making it plainly clear that if he didn’t show on time, it was over.

Kagura hung up, unknowing and uncaring what his response would be. She looked at herself in the mirror, wondering what she would ware, what would provoke him most.

She wanted him to break, to crack, to jump across the table and try to have her. She wanted to embarrass him, to make him feel ashamed of himself. Like she had been, sitting in the back of a limo on their wedding day, alone, crying for hours until she finally drove to the nearest clothing store and bought a change of clothes to go home in. And instead of moving her things into Sesshomaru's apartment, she had begun unpacking after a call to the apartment leaser to tell him she'd be renewing her lease.

It was his turn to feel like a fool.

Inuyasha groaned as he opened the door of the fridge. He was hungry, and his wife hadn't returned from spending the night at her Mother's. Normally he would just order something, but he didn't want to wait. His heart jumped whenhe heard the distant sound of a car coming into the driveway. He went to the window, pulling back the curtains o see Kagome's car coming up the drive. He smiled. Yay, he wouldn't starve after all.

He waited for Kagome to come inside, leaning on the wall behind the front door. He slammed the door behind her as she put her house key back in her purse, and he laughed when she nearly jumped off balance and whipped around only to give him a glare. She pointed her finger at him warningly.

"Oh, sorry, did I scare you? Wanna whip me?" he asked in a sultry voice, advancing on her.

Kagome couldn't help but laugh, she let him put his arms around her and grope her ass softly. She giggled and raised up on her toes to kiss his chin.

Inuyasha jerked when he felt a hand swiftly collide with his bottom. He looked down at his wife and raised an eyebrow. Kagome smiled softly, her hands moving up under his shirt. "What?" she asked softly.

"You just spanked me." he informed, putting his hands on her shoulders and pushing her back to the wall at the foot of the stairs.

"You told me I could!"

"I asked if you wanted to, I never said yes..."

"How about if I don't say yes?" she asked, dragging a nail up his neck to his chin.

"Tease."

"Man-whore."

"You wish."

"YOU wish I wished."

The laughed together, and ended up in a heavy kiss as Inuyasha lifted her up onto his hips. He moved his hands under her shirt, but Kagome pushed his hands down. "Stop it." she whispered playfully.

"See!" Inuyasha said letting her down and taking a step back. "You are a tease!" he said laughing.

"I am not a tease." she said grabbing his hands and pulling him back to her.

"Are too."

"Am not."

"Are too..." he whispered as he bent to kiss her.

Kagome giggled as her hands drifted from his arms to his chest and downwards. "Am not." she whispered back, nipping at his jaw line like he always did to her.

"Are so." he said softly as he bent to kiss down her neck, lapping softly at her pulse.

Inuyasha chuckled a little when Kagome grabbed the waist of his jeans and jerked him forward. "Am not." she said quietly, pulling his belt slowly out of the buckle.

"Are so." Inuyasha repeated as Kagome pulled at the length of leather. She smiled as it slipped out of his belt loops and fell to the floor when her fingers abandoned it. Inuyasha kicked it backwards and put his hands on the wall on either side of her head, glaring down at her with an obvious intent.

Kagome's hand moved up his shirt, her finger tips moving slowly over his smooth muscles. She pulled the fabric upwards, and tugged it over his shoulders. He dipped his head to allow to over and Kagome chuckled when she moved it up to his wrists, hanging above her head. Inuyasha tossed it away and put his hands back, intended to make her do all the work.

"Am not."

"Are soo..." Inuyasha said laughing as she pulled him a step closer. She ran her hands up his sides, stretching down the sides of his back and nipping at his chin as he groaned softly.

Kagome grabbed the front of his jeans and pulled the buttons apart, pulling the zipper down ever so slowly. She smiled seeing no boxers or briefs. "No underwear today, husband?" she asked, running a few fingers through the patch of silver hair now exposed to her.

"Well, you know... sometimes it's nice."

"Its smart..." she added, slipping her hand down the front of his pants.

"Mmm, I agree." he mumbled, moving his hips closer as her hand wrapped around his vital organ.

Kagome moved her head closer to his, and Inuyasha followed the cue, leaning his head down slowly. They both paused, eyes re-opening instantly as a long and annoyingly timed ring rang throughout the kitchen and foyer. They looked at each other and Inuyasha glance down at her hand touching him. "Ignore it." he advised.

"It might be something important..." she said quietly, pulling her hand away and moving out from under his arms. Inuyasha sighed and leaned against the wall with a groan.

Kagome hurried into the kitchen and picked up the phone. She looked at the called Id. "It's... Sango." she said answering it with a polite "hello". Inuyasha walked over, pulling his pants back up, grumbling, he had planned on just taking them off to save Kagome the time. He took the phone and Kagome walked towards the fridge.

Kagome watched him as he rolled his eyes and said a few short yesses and no's. Once he was done she was already taking out things to make lunch with. He hung up the phone and walked over, snaking his arms around her as she unwrapped some vegetables. Inuyasha smacked her ass, making her yelp and jump. He kissed her ear and smiled. "Are so..."


Kagura arrived at the restaurant at eleven thirty. She walked in like a goddess, a fur shall draped around her shoulders tied over a loose brown blouse with tiny bead work across the chest that tightened around her waist. And of course, she had worn one of Sesshomaru's favorite skirts: a slightly loose black one that reached the top of her shins with matching bead work around the hem and along the slits. She even wore his favorite black lingerie underneath. And a black lace garter to match, which she had picked up just the day before, along with her new thigh high leather boots.

She untied her fur shall and prepared to walk past the hostesses counter when the woman caught her attention. "Miss! Miss, your table is ready, if you'll follow me." she said walking around and bowing slightly.

"I haven't chosen my table yet." she said annoyed.

"Um, the gentlemen you're meeting has already arrived. You are Kagura Seiteki, are you not?" the young demoness asked politely.

"I am."

"Yes, Mr. Soma has been waiting for you, you have a private room upstairs, Miss."

Kagura paused. Funny how she hadn't seen that coming. If they had a private room, Sesshomaru could be as improper as he wanted to be and no one would know. Usually the private rooms were only for business associates or very rich customers. Of course, Sesshomaru counted as both plus the son of the restaurant's owner.

She stepped towards the girl, who led her around to the staircase that led to the second level of the building. The young female led her down the wide hallway, a few waiters stepping to the side as Kagura approached.

The corner room was where Kagura was led to. The hostest knelled and opened the sliding doors for her. Kagura stepped in and glanced back at the kneeling female who spoke politely. "Please enjoy your meal, someone will be along soon to service you." she said before closing the sliding doors and leaving Kagura alone with the one being she'd been avoiding. Her hopes of a public embarrassment were not crushed.

Kagura's red eyes moved from the bottom of the door across the floor to the figure who stood in the corner by the window, staring contently at the world below.

"I.. thought you might enjoy privacy."

"If I had wanted privacy I would have invited you to my house." Kagura snapped.

Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder, his golden pupils tinted ever so deadly like with a thin red trim. "My apologies." he said quietly, tuning his head away again. Kagura walked over to the table and drug her nails across the expensive tablecloth. Sesshomaru shook his head a little and squeezed his eyes shut. After a few seconds he looked at his reflection in the spotless window, making sure his eyes were back to normal. It was taking everything in him to restrain himself. He prayed to the gods that Kagura remained completely unaroused while in his presence.

Because if that sweet scent hit him, he was certain that his mind would be lost.
