Chapter 17

 

I Keep Trying…But I Keep Screwing Up

 

 

InuYasha sheathed Tessaiga and coughed a few times, wiping at his nose in an effort to get the smell of the burnt forest out. Then he slowly made his way back to the house, wondering moodily what he would find. If that monk gave him hell, he would tell him where to go. It was all the monk's fault anyway. Did he really expect that they could practice arousing each other and not have sex? That was really too much to ask. As for Kagome…he swallowed, hoping she wasn't too pissed and he wouldn't be eating dirt when he got back. Well, it's not like she wasn't into it. He couldn't help let a smile curl his lips as he thought about how she responded to his touch when he caressed all her most sensitive areas. Yeah, he could really get used to doing that to her.

 

Kagome and Masahiro were waiting for him on the porch when InuYasha got back. Masahiro had a look of weary patience on his face, and Kagome sat clasping her hands and anxiously biting her lower lip.

 

“Did you get it all?” Kagome asked.

 

“Of course I did, wench,” InuYasha replied testily, then flinched as he realized too late how that sounded.

 

Kagome sighed heavily and covered her face with her hands, her hair falling forward and covering them.

 

“God, InuYasha, you are so irresponsible sometimes,” Kagome moaned wearily. “We could have burnt that forest down.”

 

“So why didn't you say something?” InuYasha snapped back. “After all, I wasn't the only one enjoying what we were doing.”

 

“Because…” Kagome drawled dangerously, “you didn't give me a chance to say anything!”

 

“Kagome..” InuYasha started to say.

 

“Sit!” Kagome snapped angrily.

 

InuYasha went face first into the ground. Masahiro raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Kagome groaned and put her head down in her lap.

 

“I'm sorry Monk Masahiro,” Kagome said, her voice muffled. “I really don't know how I'm going to get this stubborn, angry hanyou to behave as we need him to.”

 

“Well, I'm sure the rosary of subjugation he wears has its uses,” said Masahiro, “but for our purposes, it won't do any good.”

 

“I know,” said Kagome, sitting up and massaging the bridge of her nose. “I guess old habits die hard.”

 

“Yes,” said Masahiro. “For both of you, it seems.”

 

InuYasha picked himself up off the ground.

 

“You hear that, Kagome?” InuYasha said sulkily. “Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to `sit' me.”

 

“As for you, young hanyou,” said Masahiro turning his attention to InuYasha, “I expect that tomorrow you will work with Kagome on controlling your temper and your impulsive behavior.”

 

InuYasha growled in irritation.

 

“Kagome's powers are not a game,” the monk continued. “They are powerful and out of her control, and not to be trifled with.”

 

Kagome looked over at Masahiro, her face tight with contrition and worry.

 

“Now both of you go to sleep,” said Masahiro. “Tomorrow, I will find a way for you to have sex without endangering yourselves and others.”

 

Masahiro turned to regard InuYasha again.

 

“And when I say sleep, young hanyou, I mean sleep,” the monk said sternly. “Keep your hands off your young miko if you can't control your urges.”

 

InuYasha climbed up on the porch and Kagome stood up next to him. They looked at each other sheepishly and then went inside. They didn't speak to each other again until they were both in bed.

 

“Sorry, InuYasha,” Kagome said.

 

“I'm sorry too,” said InuYasha.

 

That made Kagome smile, and she reached out and stroked his hair and then scratched behind his ears. InuYasha took her hand and then pulled her into an embrace, and they fell asleep in each other's arms.

 

 

 

The next morning, Kagome woke first again. As she stretched and yawned, she felt the grit from the gardening and the forest that still clung stubbornly to her skin. Making a face, she wished she could get clean. A hot spring would be nice. Picking up a piece of InuYasha's hair that lay across her shoulder, she noticed the bits of leaves and dirt imbedded in the twisted locks. Dropping it with a shake of her head, she thought InuYasha could use a bath too. Well, she would just have to ask Masahiro how they bathe around here.

 

Kagome leant over InuYasha and whispered in his ear.

 

“Hey, sleepy-headed hanyou,” she said, “you gonna wake up?”

 

InuYasha was sleeping on his side facing away from her. He sighed and lifted his arm, snaking it around her, and pulled her over his body. She slipped to the other side of him, smiling, and he opened his eyes to slits and quirked a smile at her. Then he buried his hand carefully in her hair and drew her face to him, giving her a sleepy, slow and sensual kiss. When they finally came up for air, Kagome pushed away from him.

 

“I really need a bath,” she moaned wistfully, “and you need one too. I'm going to ask Masahiro how they bathe around here after breakfast.”

 

At the mention of breakfast, InuYasha's stomach made an audible growl, echoed by Kagome's stomach.

 

“I think certain body parts are trying to tell us something,” Kagome said with a laugh. “Let's go see if Masahiro has any breakfast ready.”

 

“Fine with me,” answered InuYasha, and sat up scratching his head and looking for the rest of his clothes.

 

When they were dressed, they walked out to the main room just as Masahiro walked in from outside with dishes of food.

 

“Oh, thank you, I'm starving!” said Kagome, clasping her hands under her chin and smiling.

 

InuYasha just grunted. He was not really awake yet, and still feeling kind of irritated at what had happened the previous night. It was making him moody, and he was afraid if he opened his big mouth, he just might get in trouble with Kagome and Masahiro again. So for once, he made a conscious effort to keep quiet.

 

“Sit down young ones,” said Masahiro, “and I will be explaining to you the practice of pranayama this morning.”

 

“What does pranayama mean?” asked Kagome as she seated herself at the table.

 

“Pranayama means controlled breathing,” said Masahiro, as he put their plates in front of them. “The goal of pranayama in yoga is to achieve calmness and focus. Breathing is a physical manifestation of our emotions, and therefore if you control your breathing, you will control your emotions.”

 

“Wow,” said Kagome as she picked up her chopsticks. “Sounds great! Just what our hanyou here needs, a way to control his emotions -err, in his case, temper.”

 

“Feh!” InuYasha said, but luckily the food was put down in front of him and he started stuffing his face before he could say anything rude.

 

While they ate, Masahiro explained to them about pranayama. “The way people breathe normally, they do not utilize their full lung capacity. By concentrating on your breathing, you are consciously trying to draw in, hold, and exhale your breath so that you fill yourself up to capacity with air.”

 

“Slowly breathe in through your nose,” said Masahiro. “Guide your breath to fill you up, by expanding your lungs so you feel it in your belly, then up to your chest, and finally feel it expand around your collarbones. Hold it, and then slowly exhale through your mouth, making sure to get all of the air out.”

 

Kagome and InuYasha looked at him wonderingly, and Masahiro sighed.

 

“Here, I will do a pranayama for you so you may see how it is done,” said Masahiro.

 

Curiously, they watched as Masahiro closed his eyes. He inhaled through his nose, and they watched as his belly expanded, his chest, and then his shoulders pushed out slightly. The monk held it a moment and then slowly expelled it, starting with the belly and going upward for what seemed to them to be a very long time.

 

“When you two are making love, this will both heighten your enjoyment and force you to concentrate on what you are doing,” said Masahiro. “It can also be used to calm yourselves if you become aroused too quickly.”

 

“I think I can do that,” said Kagome. “How about you, InuYasha?”

 

“Yeah, maybe,” InuYasha replied, crossing his arms and not sounding too convincing.

 

“This is a good exercise for you, InuYasha,” said Masahiro. “I want to hear from you and Kagome that you are working on it with her. It's to help deal with that temper of yours.”

 

InuYasha just snarled, but subsided with a look from Kagome. To his surprise, he just didn't have it in him to argue. Must be because of that anger he was missing inside himself. It left him feeling uncomfortable and he squirmed a bit.

 

“Monk Masahiro,” said Kagome after they had finished eating, “how do you bathe around here? I'm desperate to get clean.”

 

“There is a hot spring not far from here,” Masahiro replied. “I will show you where it is.”

 

“That's great!” said Kagome. “I'll go get my things.”

 

Kagome jumped up excitedly and went to the bedroom. She returned in a few minutes with her backpack, and they followed Masahiro outside. They made their way behind the house.

 

“I am having some of the local villagers come and build a platform for you out here,” said Masahiro, gesturing to the fallow field they were walking past. “This will be the only place I want you two to have sex until you learn control.”

 

Monk Masahiro gave InuYasha a meaningful look, and the hanyou sneered.

 

“Whatever,” InuYasha said.

 

“Oh, thank you for going to all that trouble for us,” said Kagome.

 

“No trouble. I have other couples who enjoy coming here and doing Tantric sex, they will also enjoy using this space,” said Masahiro. “In fact, a couple are coming here tomorrow. I will have them do a demonstration for you.”

 

Kagome blushed, and InuYasha looked puzzled and a bit flustered at the idea of people actually letting themselves be watched having sex.

 

Soon, the path they were on opened up, and they were at the hot spring. It lay in a glade with high boulders on either side and a flat expanse of rock that jutted out like a ledge into the water. Kagome put down her backpack, and they said goodbye to Masahiro.

 

“This is perfect,” said Kagome, taking off her shoes and socks.

 

“Yeah, seems okay,” said InuYasha, sniffing the air for any sign of a threat.

 

Quickly, Kagome undressed, and she reached into her backpack for her soap, shampoo and conditioner.

 

“Come on, InuYasha,” said Kagome. “I'll wash your hair. It's really filthy.”

 

“Hmph,” he replied, picking up a lock of his hair and sniffing it, then making a sour face.

 

“Guess you're right,” InuYasha said, and started to strip.

 

Kagome slipped into the water gratefully, feeling the tension leave her as the warm water soothed her limbs. Taking a breath, she dunked her head under water, and when she came up, InuYasha was beside her. Quickly, she flipped her wet hair from in front of her face, and nearly whipped InuYasha with it.

 

“Hey, watch out!” InuYasha said.

 

Kagome gave him a mischievous look and then took him by surprise as she jumped on top of him, causing him to go down into the water.

 

“Get in, lazybones, you're not wet enough,” she said as he went under.

 

InuYasha grabbed her by her waist and came up spluttering.

 

“What are you doing, you crazy wench? Trying to drown me?” he said, and flipped his own hair back, making her duck so she would not get hit.

 

Kagome giggled and splashed water at him, which he playfully splashed back. Then she went and got her soap. She lathered up her hands and started to rub them over her body, a sight which InuYasha was beginning to thoroughly enjoy. Just when he thought about going over to help her, she dunked herself back in the water and rinsed off the soap.

 

“Here,” she said, throwing the bar of soap towards him. “You can wash up while I shampoo my hair, then I'll wash your hair for you.”

 

`Well,' he thought as he caught the soap, `that could be interesting.' As if in agreement, he felt himself start to get hard.

 

`Hell, after all, we are in a damn hot spring,' he thought as he began to lather himself. `No house to ignite, and no trees close enough either. This could be perfect.'

 

InuYasha smiled to himself, believing he had found a way to make love to her and not get in trouble. Kagome had finished washing her hair and beckoned him over.

 

“Come here, InuYasha,” she said. “I'll sit on the ledge. It will be just the right height for me to wash your hair.”

 

Placing her hands on the stone ledge, Kagome hoisted herself out of the water, turned around and sat down. Then she opened her legs and beckoned InuYasha to stand in between them. InuYasha did as instructed, his back to her, and she squeezed shampoo on his head and began to massage it into his hair and scalp. This felt very good to him, especially when she massaged around the base of his ears. Soon she had to scoop up the wet mass that cascaded in a tangle down his back and use more shampoo. After working the shampoo through to the ends of his hair, she pressed on his shoulders as a sign for him to dunk down and rinse his hair. When he had done this to her satisfaction, she pulled him back against her, and he felt the mounds of her high, full breasts press on either side of his head for a moment. It took effort for him not to turn around and dive into them. Next, she used the conditioner, and he melted again as she worked it into his scalp first, before using generous amounts on the rest of the long mass of tangles. With a satisfied sigh, she tapped him on the shoulders once more, and he dunked back underwater.

 

That's when he decided to tease her. Having taken a deep breath, InuYasha went all the way under and lay as close to the bottom as he could and waited. At the surface, Kagome frowned and looked out over the hot spring. InuYasha was taking a long time to come back up.

 

“EEK!” Kagome squealed in surprise as he jumped up out of the water right underneath her.

 

“Gotcha!” he said with a grin, and pulled her off the ledge and into his arms, capturing her lips in a hungry kiss.

 

InuYasha ran his hand down the firm curve of her ass and picked her up, forcing her legs to go around his hips and her entrance to clasp his erection. As he deepened their kiss, he thrust between her wet folds, making her moan into his mouth as he encountered her clitoris and made it harden under his ministrations. Then he raised her up on one hand, so the head of his cock was rubbing against her clitoris, while he moved his other hand to support her back and bent her over so he could lick her breasts and suck on her sensitive nipples. In a few more moments, he had her screaming as she climaxed, and then he lowered her back down, right onto his erection, and penetrating deep inside her. Lost to his lust, Kagome moaned as he held her, thrusting his hips at an ever increasing pace as his cock seemed to zero in like a magnet to the pleasure center inside her. When InuYasha felt her hot, tight walls start to constrict around him, he knew her orgasm was imminent, and started to pump into her faster so they would reach their orgasm together. Kagome threw her head back and screamed as she came, and InuYasha came a moment after her, growling deeply into her breasts.

 

They felt rather than saw the dome of energy around them, and then there was a boom and a whoosh! Opening their eyes, they were blinded by the water that was rushing up out of the hot spring around them and into the air. When it stopped, they gaped in astonishment, looking up in the air above them. They were now standing in a very empty hot spring.

 

Masahiro stood in the fallow field, supervising three men from the village who were laying down the foundation for the platform. Suddenly they were pelted by a warm rain, and they all looked above in surprise. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, but in a short amount of time they were drenched. It ended as soon as it began, and Masahiro wiped the water off his face with his hands and then began to shake out his soaking robes. Something told him that this sudden downpour of water was not natural.

 

`Buddha give me patience,' he thought. `That horny hanyou is at it again!'
