Chapter 23: Spilled Milk (Warning: Lemon)

It was a silent ride back to the dojo. Miroku was wondering if Sango would allow him to carry her up to the house, but that need was negated by Kirara soaring over the fence in her large form when the limousine rolled to a stop. Sango couldn't help but to smile when she saw her, and the cat ran her rough tongue up the side of her face.

“Go ahead up to the house, and I'll grab your bags out of the dojo,” InuYasha told them.

Miroku nodded as he picked Sango up at the waist and set her side-saddle on Kirara's back. He then surprised Kagome by doing the same thing and setting her behind Sango. “There you are, ladies. All right, Kirara, let's go to the house.” Leading the way, he went and opened the gate and allowed the cat with her charges to pass through before closing it behind him.

When they reached the house and were safely inside, Kagome took Sango by the hand. “Miroku, tell InuYasha we're going to borrow his bedroom for a few minutes, all right?”

“Okay, we'll change when you're done,” Miroku answered. He didn't need to ask why they were using the hanyou's room - he'd seen some of Kagome's clothes there.

“Kagome, I…” Sango started as she followed her down the hall.

“I have some spare clothes here. I'm sure there's something that will work for you to change into for now. Sango, I don't want you to go home tonight; I want you to stay here with us,” Kagome responded.

“Kagome…” Sango didn't really know what to say.

Kagome stopped and faced her. “You've been through a lot tonight. I think you should stay here with your friends. Now, come on, and let's get out of these clothes and wash our faces, okay?”

Sango just nodded and followed her to the master bedroom.

Sango had taken off her ruined dress and her bra while Kagome dug through a drawer looking for something for them to change into. She pulled out a pair of pajamas that were made of a soft blue knit. The bottoms were cropped pants and the top a v-neck shirt with short sleeves. “Here, I think these should work for you,” she said as she handed them to Sango. She then unzipped her own dress and stepped out of it. Wanting to wash her face and comb the hairspray out of her hair before she put her pajamas on, she joined Sango in front of the long mirror in the master bathroom.

Sango had brushed her long hair out and cleaned her face after gratefully pulling on the sleepwear Kagome had given her. “Kagome… I… I don't know how to face them,” she said very softly.

Kagome turned to her, setting the brush down on the counter. “Sango, we're your friends. You don't have anything to be embarrassed about.”

“But the way I behaved… I was such a coward… and now… my scar… does he know? I didn't want him to know…” her voice trailed away as she looked at the floor.

Kagome sighed. She thought the truth was the best response to the situation, but she was so unsure. “Sango, there's something you should know…”

“What? What is it, Kagome? He hates me, doesn't he… he's embarrassed by me now…” Sango squeezed her eyes shut to stop the flood that was threatening to escape.

“No, Sango, that's not it at all. The truth… the truth… the truth is… that we've known about it since almost the beginning. We already knew that you had it.” Kagome fell silent and waited for her words to sink in.

Sango's eyes opened wide. No, they couldn't know… what were they doing… why were they toying with her… “No, that can't be true! You never said anything! Why… why… why… NO!”

Sango turned and ran from Kagome, out of the bedroom and down the hall, passing by Miroku and InuYasha in the kitchen.

“Sango! Wait, come back and let me explain!” Kagome cried out as she followed her. “Sango, don't go!”

Sango was surprised to meet Kirara in the entryway to the home. “Kirara, please get me out of here!”

Much to her astonishment, Kirara had transformed to her large size but blocked her way. The big cat carefully butted Sango with her head and pushed her back.

“Please, Kirara!” Sango cried. “Please take me home!”

“Sango, stop! I can explain!” Kagome panted as she caught up with her. “Please, don't leave,” she said softly.

“Why? So you can make fun of me? Call me a monster and freak like the guy at the gallery did?” she answered bitterly. “Kirara, if you won't take me home, get out of the way!”

“Wrrrrrr-meorrrrr-wrrrrrr,” the cat responded.

“What do you mean, hear her out?” Sango asked irritably.

Kirara replied by rubbing her rather large head against Sango's stomach.

“Sango, we didn't say anything because we thought you would tell us in your own time, when you were ready - if you ever were. We didn't want to embarrass you or scare you away. That's all,” Kagome whispered. “Please come back inside. You don't have to say any more than you are comfortable with.”

“Gods, I've been such an idiot,” Sango mumbled, her back still to Kagome as she rubbed the firecat's ear and tried to slow her racing heart. “It's just after…”

Kagome reached out to gently touch her left shoulder. “It's okay. You've had a rough night.”

Kagome jumped when she felt something being placed over her shoulders. “It would behoove us for you not to run around the house in your underwear. I almost took Miroku's head off.” InuYasha said seriously. He had draped his coat over her to cover her.

She gave a small shriek when she looked down and realized she was only in her panties. She didn't even remember taking her bra off. Hurriedly running her arms through the sleeves of the jacket, she clutched it around her. “At least you didn't flash anyone. Will you please come back in and stay with us? I promise we don't think any less of you. You don't have to tell us anything, but we'll listen if you want to talk.”

Sango finally turned around, and giggled at the bright red girl in front of her. “All right - but after all that I think I could use a drink.”

“Miroku is consoling himself with the sake in the kitchen. You can go and join him while I make sure Lady Godiva here puts some clothes on.” InuYasha scooped Kagome up in front of him and carried her back to his bedroom.

Sango hugged herself with her arms as she returned to the kitchen. She was flushed red as she shyly approached Miroku, who was sitting at the table. “Do you mind if I join you?”

Miroku stood and pulled out a chair for her. “Please do. Can I get you something?”

“I told Kagome I could use a drink. That still goes, I think,” Sango responded. “Sensei said you were drinking sake.”

“Yes. I'm afraid I needed a drink as well after that.” Miroku couldn't help but to chuckle. “Neither of us was expecting you two to run by like that.”

Sango's cheeks turned even pinker. “I made such a fool of myself tonight,” she whispered.

“No, my dear Sango, you didn't do anything wrong. You must stop blaming yourself,” Miroku suggested as he poured her a small cup.

Sango picked up the sake and downed it.

Miroku immediately refilled her glass when she set it on the table. “Be careful; this stuff is pretty strong.”

“Good,” Sango proclaimed. “I think I want to forget this whole night.”

Miroku reached over and gently grasped her wrist. “Don't you think we should wait for Kagome and InuYasha? It's not polite to start without them.”

She sighed and released her cup. “Yeah, you're right. But you started without us!”

“That was different. I was afraid InuYasha would kill me after I saw Kagome nearly naked. I needed a drink,” he answered.

Sango looked up. “It was my fault. I hope he didn't hurt you.”

“No, just scared me a little. I'm starting to get used to it, though. He's just a little possessive of Kagome - I don't think he even realizes how much. Plus I know he'd never intentionally hurt me, especially for something that wasn't really my fault.” Miroku tried to meet her eyes, but she blushed and looked away.

“What do you think is taking them so long?” Sango asked.

Miroku turned his cup, pushing it round and round with his fingertips. “They probably had other things to talk about that they didn't want to in front of us.”

“You don't think he was upset with Kagome, do you? I'd hate to be the cause of an argument,” Sango contemplated.

“No, I don't think that was it. But a lot did happen tonight. InuYasha told me a little while we were waiting."

“As long as they're not fighting or anything…” Sango's voice trailed away. She was thinking that she'd caused enough problems tonight already.

“Gods, woman, what you do to me,” InuYasha panted as he closed the door behind them. “I was managing to keep everything under control until you ran by nearly naked. You really gave Miroku an eyeful, you know.” He stood her in front of him and pressed his nose into her neck, trying to calm his heated blood but found himself palming her breasts instead.

Kagome was a little surprised to see his markings had appeared on his cheeks. She shrugged his coat off and reached up to run her thumbs along them. “Is it the full moon tonight?” she whispered.

“I think so,” the hanyou panted. “My youkai really wants you.”

“Tell him to make it quick,” Kagome answered. “I know I said I wanted you to make love to me all night, but I asked Sango to stay after everything that happened. I hope you don't mind.” She was unbuttoning and unzipping his trousers as she spoke. “We'll have to hurry.”

She slipped out of her panties and went to the bed. Going to her hands and knees, she stayed at the edge so that he could mount her standing from behind. She felt the thick head gently rub between her folds before sliding up into her. Once fully seated, he pulled out and drove back into her with considerable force, making her moan as she tried not to cry out in pleasure. His hands gripped her at the curves of her hips as he hammered into her with long, hard thrusts until he felt the release he so desperately needed. With a grunt, he slammed into her and held her to him as he filled her. She couldn't help but to rock back against him as he rubbed her back with his large hands. He reached around to caress her breasts as he whispered, “I don't know how you put up with a horny dog like me.”

She placed her hand over his. “Because I love you and was just as horny.” She groaned when he pulled out and patted her affectionately on the butt.

“Come on. We'd better get dressed or they'll wonder what we're up to,” InuYasha said with a grin.

Kagome turned to face him, on her knees on the bed as she cupped his face in her hands. “I guess that was what you needed. Your markings are fading again though I don't think they're going to disappear completely just yet.”

InuYasha placed his hands over hers, and leaned forward to kiss her. “Thank you - not only for that, but for tonight. You were incredible, you know.”

“Not nearly as much as you were,” she answered. “You really helped your brother with the Chinese.”

“Feh. I'd feel sorry for that translator if he hadn't been doing it on purpose. He'll wish he'd never tried anything when Sesshomaru gets through with him.” The hanyou didn't add that he didn't care what happened to him after he'd called Kagome a whore. He'd deserve whatever punishment he received.

“Come on. Let's clean up and join the others before they get too far ahead of us. If Miroku gets drunk and gropes Sango, she might kill him, and I already scared him enough for one evening.” InuYasha took her hand and led her off the bed. “And you might want to put on a little more clothing than you had on.”

Kagome giggled. “Sorry about that. I was so worried about Sango that I forgot I was nearly naked. Of course, around you that hasn't been a problem.”

InuYasha leaned over and kissed her gently on the lips before they hurriedly washed up and dressed to return to the kitchen.

“Sango, I'm really sorry. None of this would have happened if I hadn't left you,” Miroku apologized again.

Sango reached over and refilled his cup before he had a chance to drain it. “Stop apologizing already. It was my fault for picking those pretty shoes. If they hadn't hurt my feet so much, I could have gone up to the exhibit with you. Was it worth it?”

Miroku looked at her in horror. “No! Nothing was worth you going through what you did-”

She took another sip of her own drink and waved her hand at him. “No, no, no. I didn't mean that. Was it a good exhibit? Do you think you're going to try and take our class there?”

“If I can't arrange for a field trip during the summer break, I'm going to ask Sesshomaru-sama if it is possible to get a discount for the students in the class to go. They had some extraordinary pieces there from all over the world and all time periods that are worth seeing. I think I'll let anyone who goes to pick a piece to do a write-up on and turn it in for extra credit. In fact, I'll probably give some extra credit just for going. There are a couple who could use all of the help that they can get,” he answered.

Sango giggled. She was starting to feel a little light-headed. “Do you always reveal information about your students?”

“Why…I… I didn't give any names! And you know in a class that large…” Miroku's voice faded away and he took another swig of the rice wine.

“Hey, are you two still sober?” InuYasha asked as he and Kagome joined them.

“Too sober, after what happened. Do you have anything else to drink? This is starting to burn my throat,” Sango asked.

InuYasha went to the refrigerator and pulled out a different bottle. “Kagome prefers plum wine though I don't know how she drinks it, it's so sweet.”

“Hey, I've heard if your pour-” Miroku started, and then abruptly cut himself off when InuYasha turned around. “Your face! Did you two…”

Kagome flushed bright red, and InuYasha stated, “Don't go there, Monk.” He filled a glass and handed it to Kagome, who promptly drained it. “Hey, go easy on that stuff,” he added.

Kagome nodded and sat down at the table. “It's the full moon is all.” She decided a change of subject was in order. “Sango, are you okay now?”

She nodded in response, though she couldn't meet her eyes.

Kagome reached over and placed her hand over hers. “Sango, we're your friends. Don't be embarrassed.”

“Let me get a little more drunk, and maybe I can tell you what happened…” Sango's voice trailed way and she took a sip of the plum wine that InuYasha had filled her cup with.

“You can tell us anything you want to, but you don't have to,” Kagome offered.

“But we'll gladly listen to anything you do,” Miroku added.

“The biggest problem is I don't remember,” Sango started.

“What happened tonight?” Kagome asked, puzzled. She thought Sango was relatively sober then.

Sango shook her head. “When I was attacked - when I got this scar. All I know is what they told me.”

“Oh,” Kagome said so softly that only InuYasha really heard her.

Sango continued, “My father and his employees… My… my… someone came in and killed them all with an axe. No one knows why he attacked them, or why I survived.”

“Oh, Sango,” Kagome whispered as she squeezed her hand. “That's how...”

Sango nodded. “He came after me, but didn't kill me with the first blow like he had the others. They think he may have been getting tired. Anyway, the blade glanced off my shoulder blade. Before he had a chance to strike me again, I managed to knock him off of his feet and pin him down. I fell unconscious from the loss of blood and he was stuck underneath me. That's how they found us. They think that my… my… the… attacker… had been brainwashed… since he'd never done anything like that before; he'd never had any kind of violent tendencies. Now he's in a mental institution, and I spent the year in a hospital. I couldn't bear to go back home or back to my old school and face my friends, so here I am. They said that one day I'll remember it all if I'm ever ready to.”

Miroku had placed his hand over her other one and squeezed it gently, much in the manner that Kagome was. He wanted desperately to go and wrap his arms around her, to hold her and comfort her, but was afraid that would be too much.

Sango finally looked up. “So how… how… how did you know?”

Kagome sighed. “I saw it one day by accident in the dressing room.”

“So you ran and told them?” Sango asked, sounding a little angry. “I thought you were my friend!”

“She is, Sango,” Miroku offered. “She didn't have to tell us, we could see it for ourselves - well, sort of.”

“What do you mean? Are you a peeping Tom, too?” Sango tried to get up, but promptly fell back into her chair. “Whoa - that went straight to my head.”

“Sango,” InuYasha said gently. “You know that outfit you like to train in?”

Sango started to nod, but clutched her head instead. “Yeah.”

“It clings to you when you work up a sweat, so while we couldn't actually see your back, we could tell you'd had a serious injury. Kagome didn't have to tell us for us to know that something had happened to you. We only wanted to help you, so that's why we've never said anything,” InuYasha told her as he took her cup away. “And I think you've had enough to drink for now. You can sleep in the bedroom you changed in, and we can talk more in the morning when your head is about you.”

“`kay,” Sango responded, and promptly fell over. “Whoops - that stuff was stronger than I expected.”

“Will you take me to bed?” she asked, looking directly at Miroku.

Miroku looked stunned. “Wouldn't you rather Kagome help you?”

Sango shook her head. “Nope, she's going to bed with Sensei, so that leaves you and me. Let's go.”

Miroku looked helplessly at InuYasha and Kagome.

Kagome giggled - she was feeling a little light-headed herself.

InuYasha didn't know what to say. “Miroku, if you take advantage of her…” he whispered, but the threat was clear in his voice.

Miroku shook his head in response. Before he could say anything, Sango was reaching towards him.

“I think she wants you to carry her again,” Kagome offered.

Miroku staggered to his feet and nearly fell over when she stood and fell into him. However, he managed to pick her up and stumbled towards the bedroom with her. “I might could use a little help here,” he called.

Kagome got up, but promptly had to catch the table to keep from falling over as well.

“I knew all that wine wasn't a good idea,” InuYasha said, easily picking her up.

“We'd better help him put Sango to bed,” Kagome suggested. “You don't think…”

The hanyou shook his head. “I don't think he'll take advantage of her. He seems to like her too much for that.” He was following the other couple down the hall.

InuYasha set Kagome down in the chair in the bedroom Sango was to use and then went and turned back the covers. Miroku laid his charge on the bed, though he couldn't help but to gently squeeze her buttock as he did so. He pulled the covers up over her and kissed her gently on the cheek. “Good night, my dear Sango,” he whispered.

He looked over to see Kagome already asleep in the chair. “I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not that our women can't hold their liquor,” he commented. “You'd better take Kagome on to bed.”

The hanyou studied him, and Miroku continued, “Don't worry, my friend, I won't take advantage of her.” `No more than I already have,' he thought. “But I'll stay here with her in case she wakes. She might be frightened if she wakes up in a strange place and doesn't remember how she got here. I know the chair folds out into a futon, so I'll sleep there, all right?”

InuYasha sighed and picked up his snoring fiancée. “All right, Miroku. You know where everything is if you need anything. And we'd both better plan on them having one hell of a hangover in the morning. Good night, Miroku.”

“Good night, InuYasha,” he replied. “We'll see you in the morning.”
