Chapter Two: Learning

 

“Clearly, darling,” Kagome was saying as they stopped their activities. She was sweaty and panting as she wiped the perspiration from her forehead, “we are very sexually compatible.”

 

Inuyasha laughed, “Yeah.” He couldn't come up with much else to say. His mind was still on what had just transpired between them: incredible sex. She'd been above him for most of the session, but he'd gained control for a few minutes at a time. He loved the way she whimpered, sighed, and any other adorable noises she made when he moved above her.

 

Kagome moved off him so that she could snuggle close to his body. He put his arm around her and kissed her softly. When they parted, she looked at him shyly, twirling that piece of hair she had a habit of twirling, “S-So, how was it?”

 

Inuyasha snapped out of his reverie and looked at her, dumbfounded, “How on earth do you do that?”

 

She frowned, “What?”

 

“How do you switch personalities like that? You go from dominating cat-woman, to shy little girl in, like, half a second.”

 

She smirked at him, “'Dominating cat-woman'?”

 

Inuyasha blushed, “Well… You're eyes get this catlike look in them right before… well, what we just did. And now, you're twirling your hair, like, all shy and stuff.”

 

Her eyes softened, “Now, darling, you are starting to sound like the shy little girl.”

 

He feigned offense, “How?” She just shook her head, laughing slightly. Inuyasha thought for a moment, “Did you get enough to… Erm… drink?”

 

She brightened, “Oh, yes! I only took a cup from you last night. Perhaps… since your blood is so enticing, I did not feel like I got enough.”

 

He nodded. They lay quietly for a while, Inuyasha occasionally stroking her arm or waist or hip. Kagome would sometimes nuzzle him in the neck, or gently rub her nose on his. (A/N: Eskimo kisses! Kawaii!)

 

“Kagome?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Yes, darling?”

 

“You said last night that my scent makes you feel. What does it make you feel like?”

 

She smiled into his neck, “Mm… It makes me feel beautiful. It smells of everything I love. It makes me shiver. It makes me feel… beautiful.” She said again. She paused, “You never did answer my question before, about how… earlier was.”

 

Inuyasha smiled, “Perfect.” He positioned her to where she could look at him, “And you are beautiful, you know.”

 

She smiled, blushing, “Thank you.”

 

He continued to smile at her. He addressed something he'd been feeling embarrassed about, “I-I'm sorry about what happened before. When you kissed me last night; I really didn't mean to get an erection the moment you did it.”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes, “Oh, darling. You do not have to feel self-conscious about that. I was counting on it.”

 

Inuyasha nodded, “Yeah, well, I still feel that way. I usually don't go around getting hard whenever a woman kisses me; I swear I wanted to hit myself in the head with a tennis racket.” She giggled softly and placed her hand on his face, feeling the smoothness of it.

 

She glanced away from him, “We are never going to eat the lovely breakfast I have prepared for you, are we?”

 

Inuyasha's eyebrows lifted, “Of course we are. We just got a little… distracted.” He sat them both up and looked around for a pair of pants somewhere around his bed. Kagome began sniffing him again, `mm'ing and `uhhh'ing at his scent. He looked around at Kagome, who started to sniff his chest now, “So I guess my scent makes you horny, too.”

 

This actually made her laugh out loud, “Yes, it does.” She took one long, big whiff and shivered. Inuyasha took hold of her. She sighed into his arms, “Am I becoming the cat-woman again?”

 

“If you have that look in your eyes that makes you look like you're about to eat me, then yes.”

 

She immediately jerked up and looked him in the eye sharply, “I do not eat people. I have never killed any of my meals. Vampires never do that. You humans just got so super-“

 

Inuyasha put up his hands, “Hey, whoa! I didn't mean it like that…”

 

She sighed, “I overreacted. I'm sorry.”

 

Inuyasha stared at her.

 

“What?”

 

He said, “You said `I'm'. You haven't used a contraction before.”

 

“Oh,” she said, “well, that's because my mother and father once believed that using such a thing was rude and showed disrespect toward new people.”

 

He grinned at her, “So what you're saying is I'm not just a meal anymore.”

 

Kagome smiled her kind smile, “Yes, darling. That's exactly what I'm saying.”

 

!()!

 

They sat down at the table to eat, Inuyasha sitting at the very end and Kagome toward his left. Inuyasha watched the vampire woman eat delicately. She really liked her food, he guessed, because she ate so much of it. He could tell she was trying to be subtle, but he noticed the large and frequent helpings she served herself.

 

He ate his food quietly. He loved every part of the meal she made him: pancakes, bacon, eggs, toast, biscuits, cinnamon rolls the size of his face, various omelets, and a damn good cup of coffee. He wondered about it since he didn't have any coffee at present, “Hey, Kagome?”

 

“Yes, darling?” She said, her hand reaching over to stroke his arm lightly before reaching for her mug of the delicious brown liquid.

 

He hesitated, “Uh, where did you get this coffee? I don't have any in the pantry.”

 

She smiled at him slyly over her mug, “Columbia.”

 

Inuyasha's eyes were as wide as saucers, “And… where else did you go this morning?”

 

“Paris, to get my clothes; a little farm in Iowa for the eggs; and the rest for the biscuits and cinnamon rolls I got here. You'd be surprised how much I can make with so little, darling. You had flour, sugar, shortening, salt, and some spread cheese that expired a month ago.” She tilted her head thoughtfully at the food on the table, “I do hope it tastes alright.”

 

“'Alright?'” Inuyasha said, dumbfounded, “It's delicious! This is better than my sisters' cooking!”

 

Her eyes brightened, “You have sisters? What's your family like?”

 

Inuyasha stared at her, in awe of her red-brown eyes.

 

She giggled softly at him, “I apologize, darling. My eyes do seem to have that effect on men.”

 

He shook his head, as to try and get a hold of himself, “You asked about my sisters, right?”

 

She nodded, “Yes.”

 

“Well, the oldest one I have is Kaguya. She's married and has two girls: Mizuki and Haruka.”

 

She smiled, “Those are pretty names.”

 

Inuyasha nodded and went on, “And then my other sister, the youngest one, is Akira. She's not married, and she travels the world and is always trying the food there. She's great at cooking.”

Kagome smiled at him, “What of your parents?”

 

His eyebrows lifted, “Um, I'm an orphan. My mother died at childbirth and my dad died a long time before I was born. My sisters remember them a little, though.”

 

She frowned and lowered her eyes, “I'm sorry.”

 

Inuyasha shrugged and took a bite of his biscuit. It was the most delicious thing he'd ever tasted, “Man! This thing is good!”

 

Kagome looked up and smiled, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear shyly, “Thank you.”

 

He chewed it, closing his eyes, “Mmm… The only thing that would make this unbelievable is chicken.”

 

“Chicken?” She said, “Why on earth would you put chicken on a biscuit?”

 

He stared at her, dumbfounded, “Are you kidding me? You've never heard of a chicken biscuit?” He sat back in his chair and put a hand to his face, sighing dramatically, “What am I going to do with you? How can I teach you the wonders of a delicious chicken biscuit?”

 

Kagome just stared back at him.

 

“You've gotta trust me, Kagome! Chicken biscuits are good.” He clapped his hands together, “Alright, tomorrow morning we're going out for breakfast and getting a chicken biscuit.”

 

She giggled softly and said, “Alright, darling.” She stroked his face, looking into his hazel eyes. He was so beautiful. She remembered the intense, wild look in his eyes during sex last night. She never looked away from him, whether she was on top or he was. His scent started to distract her, arousal starting to spread throughout her body. She shifted in her chair, sighing softly.

 

Inuyasha saw the look in her eyes, and he only had time to say, “Cat-woman” quietly before she jumped him.

 

!()!

 

Inuyasha's eyes were closed when they were done. His arms were above his head, where Kagome had previously pinned them. He lay there, panting on the kitchen floor, his mind again on the explosive sex they'd just had.

 

“How the hell,” he panted, “do you and I have so much energy?”

 

“Vampires have the ability to transfer energy into human bodies through physical contact. So, the more we touch -or have sex, in our case- the stronger and more awake you'll feel.” She said matter-of-factly as she bent down low toward his face. She was still on him. Her sweaty hair curtained around their faces.

 

“Oh.”

 

Kagome lifted an eyebrow, “I must say, Inuyasha, you are taking the vampire thing very well.”

 

He grinned at her.

 

“What?” She said.

 

“You called me Inuyasha. You never used my name before. You usually call me `darling'.”

 

She tilted her head, “Would you prefer me not to?”

 

He shook his head, his eyes closing again, “No, it's not that. It's just nice to hear you say it. My name sounds… special when you say it.”

 

She smiled shyly and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around her back and deepened the kiss. His tongue traced her lips, asking for entrance. She gladly gave it to him. He explored her mouth, her tongue, her teeth and then he flipped them over, Kagome pinned beneath him. She stared back up at him when they parted, her eyes innocently wide. She recognized the look in his eyes and shivered. The feelings that rose inside her when he looked at her scared her nearly to death. She'd only known him for ten hours!

 

“How are we so close already?” He asked, his breath tickling her face and chest. The ache that had subsided a moment ago resurfaced with a greater force as he kissed her ear. Her breath became ragged.

 

“I-I… I don't know…”

 

He didn't respond to her answer, only continued to press his mouth to her ear. He didn't touch her; he wanted her to say she needed him to satisfy her. He wanted her to say his name again. She wouldn't be dominant this time.

 

Kagome glanced at his hand, “Must you insist upon putting that there?”

 

He leaned up to look at her face, “Is it bothering you?”

 

She nodded, “Yes.”

 

“Why?” He grinned devilishly at her.

 

“Because it's not touching me!” She whined loudly.

 

His eyes softened, but the devil-grin didn't go away, “How about this?” The back of his hand ran down her side, down her waist, all the way to her hip, “Is this good?”

 

She nodded, “More.”

 

His face was back next to her ear, breathing on it, “Tell me what you need.”

 

Kagome looked at the wonderful man, her eyes stared to shed involuntary lustful tears, “You, I need you. You, Inuyasha.”

 

His palm found her found one of her chests and massaged it lightly, making her whimper, “That's what I wanted to hear.”

 

!()!

 

 

When they finished for the second time, Inuyasha collapsed on top of Kagome. She ran her finger up and down his back. He lay there for a minute, breathing heavily; he sighed finally and said, “That really made my day.” Kagome grinned.

!()!

 

A while later, they got off the floor to go and take a shower. Inuyasha enjoyed scrubbing down Kagome's body: taking the bar soap and gliding it across her stomach, rubbing the soap in his hands and massaging her back, shoulders, bottom, neck, thighs, and her chest.

 

Kagome did the same for Inuyasha, but a little less perversely, she would hate for him to get aroused and not be able to bring her to that kind of release again because she honestly felt like she couldn't do anymore. She stepped out of the shower for a moment to get the face wash she'd brought over when she'd gone out this morning. She didn't really need it, but she liked the cool, refreshing feeling it gave her.

 

When they were done, Inuyasha dried her off slowly, starting with her legs first. He dried her calves and thighs, kissing each of them with a loud smack of his lips. Kagome giggled at his silliness, her hands ruffling his wet bangs. He smiled up at her and continued to dry her off.

 

!()!

 

Kagome swept the rough sponge over the interior of the mixing bowl she was washing in the sink. She told Inuyasha that she'd clean up the kitchen -and she really needed to, seeing as someone might slip on the puddle of bodily fluids they'd created on the floor. She shivered thinking about it.

 

Kagome wondered what Inuyasha was going to do with her. Would he kick her out eventually? How was he taking this so well? Kagome had never been in this situation before, so she wasn't exactly sure what to do. She knew vampires preferred to take human mates, or temporary human lovers, but was she ready for that? She didn't know. But what if Inuyasha never wanted her to leave and it was time for her to go? She guessed she could use a memory erasing spell; but what would that do for him? He was a good man, a lonely man. Erasing some of the best times he'd had in his life and putting him back in the hole she found him in seemed very cruel.

 

She'd spent a good amount of time in the kitchen cleaning for a while; she scrubbed the sink, cleaned off the table, and cleaned up the… stuff on the floor. She looked around Inuyasha's room for dress she was wearing last night, she really liked that one. She couldn't find it. She heard Inuyasha in his bathroom, the water from the shower still hitting the tile on the floor. She decided to ask him later about it. She found a white shirt of his that he appeared to have worn recently and put it on. She also took the sheets off his bed and put new ones on so that they'd have a clean bed to sleep in. She took the dirty sheets out of his room to put through the laundry.

 

!()!

 

Kagome continued to look for her dress, her search was becoming unsuccessful. She was really upset, she'd made that dress and she was very proud of her work. She walked back to the bathroom and went toward the shower. Inuyasha was just about come out when she appeared in front of him. From the look on her face, he knew something was wrong.

 

“What is it?” He asked.

 

“I've torn this place apart for my dress I was wearing last night, but I can't find it!”

 

“Did you check under the bed? It may have gotten shoved under there last night.” He said, not exactly sure what else to suggest.

 

Kagome hit her forehead, “Why didn't I check there earlier?” She started to leave the bathroom when she saw something that looked oddly out of place: a rubber duck. She turned to face him, “Why do you have one of those?”

 

Inuyasha looked at her, feigning a surprised look, “What? A man can't have a rubber ducky?”

 

Kagome laughed, “Not if you're calling it a `ducky' and have it right next to you when you're in the bathtub.”

 

“So, you're saying playing with rubber duckies isn't mature?” He walked slowly toward her. She couldn't think with his wet, naked body leaning over her. She had to sit on the edge of the bathtub because he leaned so far over, “Well, I've got news for you, woman.” His mouth was next to her ear now, Kagome swooned, “Yes, playing with rubber duckies is so mature.”

 

“Okay.” She slipped out from under him and went into his bedroom.

 

She did find her dress under the bed. Inuyasha had been right. She was still lightheaded from what he'd done and said to her. She giggled at the conversation as she went to the laundry room to go and get a hanger.

 

!()!

 

When she arrived back in Inuyasha's room, he was sitting up in bed reading a book. She saw that the binding said Breaking Dawn. She recognized the book and smirked at him.

 

“Why on earth are you reading that?”

 

He laughed, “My nieces wanted me to read the series.” He his thumb kept his place while he flipped the front shut to look at the cover, “I don't hate it, but it's very girly. Not meant for me at all.” He looked at her, suddenly interested, “Have you read them?”

 

Kagome shook her head, “No, but I've read a lot of books like that. I often tire of human's perceptions of what we are. One of the most insulting vampire series I ever read was Cirque du Freak,” she wrinkled her nose, “I remember in the second one, Mr. Crepsly said that only stupid vampires drink blood with their teeth.”

 

“That's not very nice.” Inuyasha said, peering over his reading glasses.

 

She smiled at him and sat on the edge of the bed next to him, “What do these books describe us as?”

 

Inuyasha looked at the cover again, “Well, they say your skin is very cold and pale,” Kagome looked up thoughtfully.

 

“Kind of true. Our body temperatures are a little lower than that of humans', and we are a little pale.”

 

Inuyasha went on, “They also say that while some vampires kill their victims, there are vampires that only hunt animals. The family of vampires in this series hunts out in the wilderness for bears and mountain lions. The girl that narrates the book sometimes calls it their `vegetarian' diet.”

 

Kagome giggled, “Though it's a nice thing to think about, vampires can't sustain themselves by drinking the blood of animals. But we don't kill humans. We don't need that much blood in one dose, it would hurt us.”

 

“How?”

 

“It is similar to alcohol poisoning for humans, or water poisoning. Too much and we can really sway our Amount.”

 

“'Amount'?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Yes. The Amount is how much blood we crave around the time we need to feed. We can adjust it to where we don't need more than a tablespoon, but I'm too weak to make myself get to that point. If we drink past the Amount, then we become very sick.” Kagome shook her head, “Anyway, are there any other myths that you would like me to prove or disprove for you?”

 

Inuyasha marked his place in his book and smirked at her, arching a brow, “Can you… turn into a bat?”

 

Kagome gave a deep throaty laugh, “No, darling. I have no need of shape-shifting.”

 

Inuyasha continued his smirk, “Alright, no bats.” He thought a moment for another myth, “Are you repelled by garlic?”

 

She smiled and shook her head, “Most of us aren't.”

 

“What do you mean by that?”

 

“I'm not repelled by it, but it does make me sneeze.” She smiled at him. Kagome said, “So what exactly is this vampire series about?”

 

He said, “It's about a girl that falls in love with a vampire. There's a lot more to it than that, I guess. I mean, there's werewolves and royal-ish vampires and lots of travel. I'm not really surprised that girls are obsessed with the series, to be honest.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Well, there's all that that I just listed, and then there's the fact that a bunch of good-looking guys outnumber the girls in this story.” Inuyasha laughed, “Vampires are all the rage nowadays.”

 

Kagome leaned into Inuyasha, putting her chin on his chest and wrapping her arms around his waist, “So what you're saying is that I'm very in style?”

 

“Hm… Yeah…” He said, rubbing her back. Sleep was starting to claim him, despite the fact that he didn't want to. He was thinking about the book he'd been reading, about what had just happened…

 

The girl had just seen her baby for the first time. A little half-vampire toddler.

 

His eyes popped open.

 

“What is it?” Kagome asked, sitting up.

 

Inuyasha swallowed, “Uh… Is it possible…? Can I get you pregnant?”

 

Kagome sighed, relieved, “No. Your seed isn't strong enough to break through one of my eggs. Remember how I told you that nothing can break my skin except another vampire's claws? Same thing, no human male's seed can break through a female vampire's egg.”

 

“But a male vampire can get a human woman pregnant?” Inuyasha asked.

 

Kagome said, “Yes, which is why most males prefer to take a human woman as their mate -and then eventually turn them into a vampire- to have children.”

 

Inuyasha was confused, “But… can't a vampire couple have children?”

 

Kagome nodded, “Yes, but many vampire women like to make humans temporary mates.”

 

Inuyasha's eyes narrowed.

 

Kagome continued, oblivious to Inuyasha's glare, “They basically use them as sexual playthings.”

 

“So is that what I am to you? A plaything?” Inuyasha said crossly.

 

Kagome put a hand to her mouth, realizing what she'd said, “No,” she squeaked through her hand. She started again, “No… I meant that the female vampires use a spell on males to make them drugged or vigorous or sweet and caring. They use them and clear their memories and then leave them.”

 

Inuyasha shook his head, “That doesn't reassure me at all. How do I know you didn't cast one of those spells on me in the kitchen to make me act like that? You mentioned something about one last night.” He stated this bitterly at her. Her eyes were swimming.

 

“I put a freezing spell on you so that you couldn't move…”

 

“Why?” He said, his voice rising slightly.

 

“I wanted you to hear me talk; I wanted you to trust me! I didn't want you to run away!” The hurt in her voice was clear. Inuyasha didn't care, though. He'd been through this sort of trick before, but now he knew how to catch her in it.

 

“I wouldn't have!” He said loudly, “Because you're so fucking beautiful, it's hard for a guy like me who's been through a bunch of crap with women before, and hasn't dated since the last one he was with betrayed him, to not freaking be stunned by the way your hair looked in the moonlight, or how your eyes shined!”

 

Kagome, though flattered by his unintentional complements, said, “Well, I didn't know that! I'm not a mind reader!” She wiped her eye with her index finger, ashamed that she was crying.

 

“Tch! Great! The one power a vampire doesn't have!” He said, “And you know what? You have used a contraction before; you used several in the first few sentences you said to me!” He snorted, “'Getting to know me', what a load of crap.”

 

Kagome's voice was shrill now, glaring at him, “Well, maybe that's because you are so fucking beautiful! Maybe that's because your scent makes me feel so fucking beautiful! Maybe that's because your scent and the way your eyes shine distract me from what my parents taught me! Maybe that's it, Inuyasha!”

 

Inuyasha cowered under the now scary woman's glare. She loomed over him, looking like a skyscraper rather than her usually petite form. He heard her growl and huff.

 

Kagome continued, but with a more sharp edge to her voice rather than shrill, “Whatever it is that you went through with another woman has absolutely nothing to do with me. Whatever she did to you was stupid, because you are an incredible man. I can see that in the short time I've known you. I can see that you're very lonely, very bored, and very depressed. When I saw you last night, I wondered what a man like you was doing alone on a Saturday night. I saw that you needed a little color in your life, and what better way for me to do that than give you physical pleasures with a vampire?”

 

He looked at her, whispering, “But that's not what I want.”

 

Kagome sighed, “Then what do you want, Inuyasha?”

 

“I just want a real relationship. I mean, I like the fact that we're having great sex, and yes, I like the fact that you are upfront about being who you are. I've had relationships where women have lied to me and done horrible things behind my back. All I've wanted since my last girlfriend was a woman who could make me feel something real. And I think you, Kagome, are just what I wanted. I just think we need to spend a little less time on first base… or second base, whatever the hell it is…”

 

Kagome stared at him for a moment. She wiped her tears and look at him again, “You hurt me.”

 

He held her, “I know. I know. I'm sorry.” Kagome laid her head on his shoulder, her cheek slightly on his neck. He rubbed her back and the back of her head soothingly.

 

“I didn't cast any sort of spell on you other than the freezing one. I promise. I didn't want us to be like that.”

 

“So there is an `us'?” Inuyasha asked, pulling away. Kagome nodded and he hugged her again, “Good.”
