The Heat of Autumn's First Chill

Kagome was excruciatingly aware of how cold it had turned, and how quickly. She could feel her nipples as they rubbed painfully against the fabric of her bra, having hardened as the cold wind hit her. She was unprepared, not having brought a jacket with her, since it was normally mild at this time of the year. She covered her chest as she hugged herself with her arms, trying to hide the fact that her nipples were peaked and protruding, clearly evident through the summer weight top she was wearing. Her breasts hurt to the point that she did not notice the bitter wind as it hit her bare legs, or the fact that her teeth were chattering.

She hadn't really noticed at first because she was still pissed at InuYasha. He had offered to carry her earlier in the day, but she had refused. He had been to see Kikyou, again, and Kagome was still upset about it. He hadn't said anything, but she had seen the soul collectors and knew that was where he had disappeared to, returning some time just before dawn. He had not offered to tell her, and she had not asked, preferring instead to stew and be angry over it.

Kagome figured she would just hang out with Sango for the day as they traveled, but that hadn't happened, either. Some men from a nearby village had shown up looking for them fairly early that morning, having heard that a group that slayed demons was nearby. However, after one look at InuYasha and his ears and Kagome and her strange dress, they spoke only to Miroku and Sango and pretended the others were not there.

Kagome was fuming about that, too.

Deciding that their need was real, Miroku and Sango agreed to travel to the village and help them with their problem. They took the protesting Shippou with them. Miroku told him they might need his assistance with his fox magic, but in reality he was worried that the kit would go too far. Shippou had started laying the two-timing comments on thick with the hanyou, and InuYasha was getting angry to the point he was probably going to end up hitting him. So, Miroku had insisted that the kitsune go with them rather than staying with Kagome, as he wanted. Unfortunately, Shippou did not seem to comprehend that his comments hurt the young miko as much, if not more, than they did InuYasha.

Since they were headed home, anyway, Kagome said she wanted to go on so she could go back for supplies and maybe go to school for a couple of days. They agreed they would all meet back at Kaede's in a few days.

Kagome shrugged her shoulders to adjust the backpack, bow and quiver as she watched the back of the hanyou draw further away from her. She could tell that he was tense, with his shoulders somewhat hunched, as he trudged through the wilderness. She stumbled but kept going, refusing to give in or asking for him to even slow down. Right now, all she wanted was to go home. She wanted to get away from InuYasha, and away from Kikyou. And as much as anything, she wanted a nice hot bath and something warm to wear instead of her summer uniform.

InuYasha was more than a bit irritated. He had only briefly been to see Kikyou when she sent the soul collectors to summon him; but when it turned out she didn't have any news, and was only fishing to see if he did, he headed back to camp. However, on his return, he caught the scent of a youkai, one that appeared to be far too interested in the group. He spent the rest of the night circling the camp to make sure that it did not come any closer.

He came upon it as dawn approached, stealthily stalking through the underbrush as it finally started to make its move. InuYasha tackled it head on, and had a furious but brief skirmish with it before he cut it down with his claws. And then upon his return, instead of being asked where he had been, or being thanked for dispatching the youkai that was hunting them, he was accused of two timing, again, and called various and a sundry names by the kitsune. He wanted to beat the snot out of him, but didn't want to get sat in his condition. No one had even noticed the slashes to his face or shoulder where the youkai clawed him before he had killed it. And his body was pretty banged up, too. Instead of asking him where he'd been, they all just assumed the worst. On top of that, the villagers that had come to them only wanted the help of the monk and demon slayer. They didn't want anything to do with the hanyou. The only consolation was that they didn't want anything to do with the oddly dressed priestess, either.

InuYasha was in a surly mood indeed.

“Oi, bitch, what's the hold up!” InuYasha yelled without even turning around. “You said you were in a hurry, but you don't want me to carry you, so what's the problem!”

The miko glared at the hanyou's back and refused to answer. She kept going, though she was getting slower and slower. The pain rocketed up her shins from her half frozen feet. She hugged her arms to her chest and continued, just wanting this day to be over with.

“I said, what the fuck is your problem!” the hanyou roared as he came to a halt, still refusing to turn around. At this point, he would have even welcomed a `sit' just to get her to say something. As angry as he had been, he was still hurt that she hadn't even had the decency to notice that he had been wounded protecting her.

“Sit!” he heard before his face slammed into the cold hard earth. Well, he thought that would be better than nothing, but fuck, that hurt. He felt the blood start to trickle from the worst cut that had reopened when his face hit the ground.

“N…n… n….nothing'sssss wroonnng,” he heard through chattering teeth. “You… you… you… do… don…don't… have…to… to… be ssssssso ruuude.”

“Kagome,” the hanyou said softly as the spell wore off and he sat back up. He finally looked at the miko, and saw her standing with her arms clutched to her chest, her skin bright red from the wind whipping at it. Her jaw was visibly shaking, her teeth were chattering so hard. Her eyes were squeezed shut, trying to keep the tears from spilling out.

Forgetting his own pain, and his bleeding face, InuYasha found himself taking off his firerat and wrapping the miko in it. Scooping her up in front of him, he continued through the wood, though now he was searching for a spot to stop and make camp.

“Fucking bitch, why didn't you say something,” he barked as he fought a path through the woods. Now that she was wearing his haori, he suddenly noticed it was a lot colder than he thought it was.

InuYasha continued as the temperature unrelentingly dropped, now desperate to find a suitable place to make camp and start a fire to warm them both up. While he could withstand much colder temperatures, and had often done so in the past, he knew that there was a limit to what the girl in his arms could take.

“Kagome, this is going to have to do,” InuYasha said as he gently set her down. He had stopped next to a pile of boulders that would give them some protection from the wind. “I'll be right back, I need to get some firewood.”

The hanyou ran back to a downed tree they had just passed, and neatly sliced a couple of limbs off to haul back. He then grabbed some smaller rocks to make a circle, and cut the wood in to smaller pieces to pile up for a fire.

“Kagome, do you have any of those things to start a fire?”

The miko was still huddled up where he had put her down, and refused to look up. “In…in…in my ppppppack,” she said through chattering teeth as she pushed it in his direction.

“Fuck, Kagome, would you give me some help here? Where?” he replied, starting to become aggravated at her lack of response to the fact he was trying to help her warm up.

And she still hadn't noticed the blood running down his face.

“Why do you even care? Why don't you just leave me?” the miko said with unusual clarity.

“What the fuck does that mean? And why would I do that?”

“You did last night,” she sobbed into her knees. “You went to her. You stayed out all night.”

“What the fuck does that have to do with anything? I wanted to see if Kikyou had news about Naraku. She didn't,” InuYasha practically snarled. He was sick of being blamed for things he did not do.

“Then why did you stay gone all night?”

“Because a fucking youkai was stalking you and I was trying to catch it in the dark. What the fuck did you think I was doing? Oh no, you wouldn't know because none of you bothered to ask.”

“What?” Kagome finally looked up from where she was sitting. “InuYasha! What happened to you?”

“Your fucking sit is what happened to me. It reopened the worst cut on my face.” The hanyou sounded bitter as he answered and looked at his arm to see blood soaking through his kimono. “Well, fuck, it looks like I tore my arm open again, too.”

Kagome finally started digging around in her pack, and pulled out her first aid kit. “I'm sorry, InuYasha. I thought-”

“You fucking thought wrong, bitch. You could have asked. Instead you let Shippou insult me to the point I wanted to pound that furry little skull in. And I would have, too, except that I knew it would fucking hurt if you sat me after I'd just been fighting with that youkai. And then those villagers showed up, and they just pretended I wasn't there. But I guess even that was better than being cut up, yelled at, and then sat for no reason.” InuYasha had turned his back to the miko as he spoke. He'd almost forgotten she was there as he poured out his pent up frustrations.

“Now what?” the hanyou asked in annoyance as he smelled the tears start to flow.

“Nnnnnnnothing,” Kagome said through her teeth that were again clacking together uncontrollably. “Wi…will..you..you…let mmmmme…clean yo…you…your wounds?”

InuYasha sighed in defeat. “Only if you start the fire first so you don't freeze,” he said as she pulled out a box of waterproof matches. Fortunately, they didn't have to use them that often with Kirara and the kitsune around.

Kagome took a match out and closed the cover, but her hands were shaking so badly that she couldn't strike the match.

“Here, let me,” InuYasha said as he took them from her. Lighting a match near the wood, he managed to get the kindling started.

The miko extended her hands toward the fire as the wood started to catch, desperate to warm up her cold, achy fingers. Once she felt she was starting to thaw out, she opened the first aid kit and pulled out some antibacterial wipes.

“Okay, InuYasha. Will you let me take care of that now?”

“Feh, its nothing,” the hanyou responded.

“It's something or you wouldn't have gotten so upset over it,” Kagome replied softly. “I'm sorry InuYasha. It's just, it's just that I'm … I'm afraid…” her voice trailed away as she spoke.

“Afraid of what?” InuYasha prompted.

“That you won't come back,” Kagome answered.

“Why the fuck would you think that? I always do, don't I?”

“You…you… you promised Kikyou… I'm always afraid she'll try to take you to hell like she tried to before,” the miko responded.

“What the fuck gave you that idea? I never promised to go to Hell. I said I would if that was my destiny, but I ain't in no fuckin' hurry to get there. And Kikyou's changed since you healed her. I don't think she wants anything more other than to hunt down Naraku now.”

“Re… real…really?” she responded as she wiped her tears away. “You don't want to go with her?”

“I ain't in no fucking hurry to die. Have I done anything to make you think that I was?” the irate hanyou responded.

“You wouldn't rather be with her?” Kagome finally asked the question that had been gnawing at her.

“If I'd rather be with her, I would go with her. You don't see me leaving, do you?”

She shook her head no, and motioned for him to come closer and sit by her. “Please, InuYasha. Let me look at you. I'm sorry I got so upset. First you were gone all night but didn't say anything when you came back, and then the villagers showed up. Today was the first time I ever had any idea how you might feel. It hurt when those villagers just ignored me, and pretended that I wasn't even there.”

“Feh. Usually they want to kill me. I'm used to it,” the hanyou replied as he sat next to her.

“You shouldn't have to be.” Kagome had reached up to gently wipe his face and clean his wounds. “Take your shirt off so I can see your shoulder.”

InuYasha shivered as the miko ran the cool wipe over his arm and shoulder. The temperature made it downright cold against his skin, but he refused to complain. It was just a minor injury compared to many he'd had, after all.

“InuYasha, why didn't you say something? This morning, I mean?”

“Feh. You were too busy letting the runt lay into me. And I've learned there's no point saying anything because either you won't listen, or won't believe me. I'm just glad the monk took Shippou with them or I probably would have killed him by now. He doesn't know when to shut the fuck up. Hell, he doesn't even know that he upsets you with that crap he spouts off. But I can't do anything to correct him because he whines and then you sit me.”

He heard a deep sigh as the miko put her first aid kit away. A chill ran through him as the brisk wind hit his bare shoulder. “Are you done?” he asked before pulling his kimono back up.

A shiver that had nothing to do with the wind raced across his body as he felt Kagome's gentle touch on his bare skin. She was running her hand across the slash in his shoulder. “I could put a bandage on it if you want, but it seems to be healing already. I'm sorry InuYasha. I shouldn't have done that to you.” Her hand moved to cup his cheek as she looked as his face. “This one has stopped bleeding, too.” She turned away from him and rummaged through her enormous pack. “I have some Ramen. It's not much, but at least it'll be warm.”

“Ramen's good,” InuYasha replied as he watched her pull out a pot and bottle of water.

They ate mostly in silence, each savoring the warm broth and noodles as it passed through their lips and warmed them up, at least for a little while. Kagome wiped out her pan to return it to her pack as the cups melted into the fire. She did not miss the shudder that passed through the hanyou's body as the cold wind whipped at him. She still had his haori, leaving him with just the kimono he wore under it.

“InuYasha, you're cold,” the miko said softly as she sat down next to him.

The hanyou blushed and looked away from her. “Feh. It's nothing.”

He turned and looked back at her in surprise as he felt her snuggle up to him as she draped the haori across his shoulders, so that both of them were under it. “It'll be warmer if we stay together. You shouldn't have to suffer because I was unprepared for the change in weather,” Kagome told him as she adjusted her half around her.

InuYasha turned an even deeper shade of red. “Feh, it's not that cold. I'll be fine, wench.” However, he made no attempt to move away from her.

“Well, I am cold, and it's warmer sitting with you,” the miko offered as her cheeks pinked as well.

“Keh,” he responded softly.

The hanyou was startled when he felt her hand grip his thigh as she tried to adjust her position. He also caught his breath at her hand so close to his groin. He had started to harden as she closed in on him, and he wasn't sure what to do. His hakama might be loose fitting, but there was still something of a bulge in it. The hanyou closed his eyes and hoped her hand wouldn't stray any closer. He did not want her to discover his secret: how he reacted when she was so near, how he wanted her, but knew he could not have her. He shifted uncomfortably as he pretended he was adjusting the haori that was draped over them.

Kagome was pleasantly surprised that InuYasha had not moved away from her. She was starting to warm up all over, and not just from the body heat afforded her by the contact with him. She wished he would put his arm around her, but that was probably too much to hope for. She reached down and gripped his leg to try and snuggle closer to him. The miko felt his body stiffen when her hand crept too far up. Disappointed, she slid her hand back down his thigh, and heard him sigh. Still, he had not moved away from her, or asked her to move, so maybe there was hope, yet. But then, what was she thinking? It was too cold to do anything more than cuddle together. However, this was the first time in a long time they had any quality time alone, away from the others. She would have to find a way to make the best use of the opportunity.

“InuYasha?”

“Yeah?”

“If I got my sleeping bag out, would you share it with me?”

“Keh??”

“I'm much warmer sitting here with you, except for sitting on the cold hard ground. If I got it out, would you sit on it with me?”

“Wouldn't you be warmer if you just wrapped up in it?” the hanyou asked.

“It wouldn't be fair. This is my fault we're stuck like this. I just thought… well… I just thought it would be better than nothing. Please?”

“Keh.”

“Is that a `yes' keh or a `no' keh?” Kagome giggled.

“That'd be okay, I guess,” InuYasha responded. He didn't want to admit out loud that he liked having her close to him like this.

Kagome reached and grabbed her pack, pulling the sleeping bag out of it. She had to give up the warmth of the haori temporarily as she unrolled it, and then nudged InuYasha out of the way to put it down where they were sitting, since that spot was most protected from the wind by the pile of boulders. Satisfied it was close enough to the fire, but not so close as to go up in flames, she sat back down and motioned for InuYasha to join her. This time, she was able to snuggle into his side as he reached around her to place the firerat back over her shoulders.

“Thanks, InuYasha,” she said softly as she grasped his thigh again to settle her position. However, whether unconsciously on purpose or completely by accident, neither knew, but the miko's hand landed much higher up his leg. This time, she encountered some rather firm flesh under the hakama. Kagome did not miss the deep intake of breath, or the fact that InuYasha had turned away and was flushed bright red. He couldn't get away because she had a good grip on him, and didn't appear to intend to let go.

“InuYasha?” Kagome practically whispered.

“You weren't supposed to know. You weren't ever supposed to find out,” the hanyou choked out. He still could not look at her.

“Why not? InuYasha, don't you know how I feel about you? Why would you be ashamed for me to know? I've thought all this time that you wanted to be with Kikyou. I thought I was just your shard detector; that you would never want to be with me. Is this because you are here with me, alone? It's just us, InuYasha. No one else is here. You don't need to be embarrassed.”

The hanyou hesitantly looked at the miko. “You… you… you don't mind?”

Kagome took a deep breath this time, and decided that since InuYasha was more a man of actions than words, that perhaps it would be better to show him. She surprised him as she took his hand and placed it over her breast, which was now protruding through her shirt in excitement rather than from the cold. With her hand over his, she started a circular motion over her hardened nipple. “You have no idea how much I have wanted you to touch me like this. This, and so much more.”

Under the blanket of the haori, InuYasha lowered his face to hers and captured her mouth. He was astonished as her lips parted and she felt like she was trying to suck him into her. His tongue found his way in as her hand found its way into his hakama, and grasped his hardened flesh. He explored her mouth while her fingers explored his erection. She rubbed the moisture that was leaking from the tip, and then found her way down to fondle his sac and the two testicles within. He almost lost it when her felt her hand wrap firmly around him and pull.

“Ka…Ka…Kagome… you don't have to…” the hanyou's voice trailed off as she started to work him.

“I want to… I want to for you,” she whispered. “Tell me what to do.”

“Harder… aaahhh…that's it. A little faster…” the hanyou rasped out. He'd had to let go of her when he was completely overwhelmed with all of the feelings running through him. His body wouldn't cooperate, other than to help guide her.

Suddenly, he found himself untying his hakama and releasing his erection so she had free access to it. “Oh, fuck, Kagome… what are you doing to me…”

She responded by suddenly dropping into his lap and pulling him into her mouth. She didn't know why she was almost overwhelmed to do this for him, something she had always thought sounded rather disgusting when her friends were talking about it. And yet, here she was, sucking and slurping at his penis like it was an ice cream cone. She felt his hands wrap in her hair as she continued her exquisite torture.

“Fuck, Kagome, I'm gonna, Kagome… I can't-”

The miko felt something bitter burn the back of her throat as he exploded into her mouth. She could feel the pulsing under her tongue as he poured himself into her. She wasn't sure what to do, so she swallowed as he gently rubbed her head, sending chills down her spine.

“I'm sorry, Kagome. I couldn't fucking stop. I didn't mean to do that to you.”

The miko finally looked up, with what could only be lust in her eyes. “I didn't want you to stop. Did it feel good?”

“Fuck, yes,” he responded as he tied his hakama back in place; and then, curious, he kissed her again, and tasted himself in her mouth. When he pulled away, he wiped the corners of her mouth with his sleeve.

“Then that's all that matters,” she replied when he appeared to be finished. “InuYasha, I'm cold again. Will you hold me?”

The hanyou gathered her up and pulled her into his lap, pulling the haori tighter around them. Letting his curiosity get the better of him, after she seemed to be comfortable, he reached under her shirt and rubbed her abdomen. When he received no resistance, he pushed her bra up and brushed his thumb across her breast. Immediately, it responded to his touch and hardened again. Lowering his head, he pushed the breast up that was cupped in his hand, and drew it into his mouth.

Kagome arched her back, pushing into his mouth. At the same time, she shifted her position in his lap somewhat, and managed to spread her legs apart. Too impatient to wait for him to figure out what she wanted, she gently grasped his hand and pulled it from her breast and guided it down to her soaked crotch.

InuYasha almost pulled away when he felt her take his hand. He was afraid he had overstepped his bounds. Well, except for the fact that she was holding his head to her breast with one hand when she grasped the other to pull it away. His confusion was only momentary as he felt his hand land between her legs in an area that was very warm and very wet. He heard her moan in pleasure as he rubbed the fabric of her panties, and then he became braver and slipped his fingers underneath the edge. The hanyou was rewarded with her spreading her legs a little further as she pushed herself into his hand. Gently, he started to rub, trying to discover what pleased her most. He heard her gasp as his digit found a little nub of flesh, which was becoming hard under his touch.

“Right there, harder,” Kagome whispered as his finger found the sensitive area.

InuYasha took turns suckling at both breasts as his finger started to frantically rub that hardened little pearl. He could hear the miko gasping for breath and felt her body start to coil up underneath him. Having moved his other hand under her to support her in his lap, he pushed her into his hand as he continued to assault her until he felt her start to jerk. He started to withdraw his fingers, thinking he had hurt her, but he heard, “Don't stop! Whatever you do, don't stop…”

The hanyou started rubbing as hard as he dared, for he was afraid of harming her. It wasn't long before he felt her coil up again, and then she started spasm under his hand.

“Keep going,” he heard as she continued to jerk, unable to control her movements. He also noticed a gush of fluid that escaped her, making her even more hot and wet than before. Finally, he felt her hand placed gently over his, stopping his movements.

“Gods, that felt good. Thank you, InuYasha,” Kagome said softly. Then, she pulled his face to hers, and kissed him.

This time, the kiss was slow and gentle. Each explored the other's mouth, breaking apart only for air before picking up where they left off. InuYasha's hand had found his way back up to the miko's breasts, and was teasing both of them into puckered little peaks.

His fingers were about to go exploring again when he realized, “Fuck, Kagome, it's raining. You'll get sick if we stay out in this cold and you get wet.”

Kagome actually giggled. “Well, you already got me pretty wet, but what should we do? You stopped here because you couldn't find any shelter, didn't you?”

“Keh, but it's not that much further to the well if I run. If you didn't want to go home in the middle of the night, we could at least get to Kaede's for shelter. We could be there by the time the moon is straight up in the sky.”

“InuYasha, just take me home. I want to get out of these clothes,” the miko said breathily as she rolled up the sleeping bag and repacked her backpack. The fire was already starting to go out as the rain came down harder.

InuYasha bent down and helped her get settled on his back, and then took off. Kagome found herself holding on to him even harder than she usually did; partly because he was traveling pretty damn fast, and partly because she couldn't get enough contact with him. The miko felt the hanyou's hands tighten their grip on her legs as he raced towards the well. He had insisted that she wear the firerat, and as a result, she could feel the heat from his back through his kimono.

InuYasha ran as fast as his legs could carry him without losing his precious cargo that he carried on his back. He couldn't believe everything that had happened so far. Kagome had brought him pleasure that he had only dreamed about, and then allowed him to bring her some as well. He was very aware of her breasts that were pressed into his back, and that she was gripping him more tightly than usual, causing her crotch to rub against him as well. He had given her an out by offering to take her to Kaede's, which would have brought everything to a screeching halt. But instead, she had insisted that he take her home. And while he would not assume too much, at least there they wouldn't be interrupted by the old miko in her one room hut. At least in her home she had her own room, though he had no idea of how far things might go, or how far she wanted them to. For now, he was happy and would do whatever she wanted.

True to his word, InuYasha reached the well around midnight. However, he wanted to make certain that Kagome hadn't changed her mind and stopped to let her down.

“What's the matter, InuYasha? Don't you want to come home with me? You're just as cold and wet as I am,” Kagome said.

“Keh. I just wanted to be sure you still want me to come with you. I'll understand if you've changed your mind.”

Droplets of water beaded and fell from Kagome's bangs as she looked up at her hanyou. “No, InuYasha. I haven't changed my mind. Take me home.”

The hanyou picked her up in front of him, and jumped.

He jumped back out of the well and landed on the floor of the well house. He stood Kagome on her feet, and she took his hand and led him towards the door of the completely darkened house. “That's odd. Usually Mama leaves at least one light on so Souta can find his way to the kitchen if he gets thirsty. And Jii-chan gets up in the middle of the night to take an aspirin sometimes.”

Kagome felt around and found the extra key that was hidden in case any of them got locked out. Entering the house, she softly called, “Mama?”

“I don't think anyone is home,” InuYasha said.

“Where could they be?” Kagome commented as she flipped on the kitchen light. “I hope nothing is wrong.”

She flipped through the calendar that Mama used to keep up with her appointments and their school activities and stopped when she came to what day she thought they were on. “This must be it. Souta's class is having some kind of lock in tonight, and Mama is a chaperone. It looks like Jii-chan volunteered to go and tell them legends from the shrine and this area. That should put them all to sleep in no time.” Kagome couldn't help but to snicker, but then she turned and wrapped her arms around the hanyou. “And that means we have the house all to ourselves. I want a nice, hot shower, and to wash my hair. I'm cold, and you are too. Come on.”

Kagome grabbed the bewildered hanyou by the hand and led him towards the stairs. She stopped and dropped her pack and bow and quiver in her room, and then led him down the hall towards the bathroom. The miko flushed red all over as she pulled him into the bathroom, and closed the door behind her. “I told you I wanted to get out of these wet clothes.”

InuYasha turned away as she started to peel her clothing off. He looked back in surprise, however, when she felt him tugging at his garments. The hanyou couldn't help but to stare as he saw her standing nude before him.

“Don't you want to join me? I won't let the water get too hot,” she told him, though she was starting to feel uncomfortable at his lack of response, and brought her arms up to cover her chest.

“Don't, you're beautiful,” InuYasha whispered just before his lips crashed back to hers. His right hand found her breast as his left cupped her behind and squeezed it.

He felt her small hand grasp his hardening erection through his hakama. When they finally had to pull apart for air, she said, “You have too many clothes on.”

He plundered her mouth as both sets of hands frantically worked to remove his soaked clothing. Allowing it to fall to the floor, it was Kagome's turn to stare. He was now so hard that he was standing almost straight up. Fascinated, the miko reached out to gently touch his raging erection again.

InuYasha wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. “Remember, that is how this started,” he said hoarsely into her ear.

They both were reminded why they were there as their hair dripped very cold water down their bodies. Kagome reached up and gave InuYasha a quick kiss on the lips, and then turned to start the shower. After adjusting the water so that she hoped it wouldn't be too hot for him, she stepped in.

“Come on, I told you I wouldn't make it too hot for you. Will you at least try? It's not any hotter than any of the hot springs you stop at when we find them.”

The hanyou tentatively stuck his hand in to test the waters. Finding it warm, but not uncomfortably so, he stepped in with her, and she reached behind him to pull the door closed.

InuYasha wrapped his arms around her, and just held her as the warm water poured over them. Kagome wrapped hers around him in return, and ran her hands up and down his back. She couldn't help but to sigh in contentment as he held her close.

“InuYasha, will you let me wash your hair?”

“Keh, if you want to,” he replied, as they finally turned loose of one another. “Just watch the ears.”

“I know,” Kagome responded as she filled her palm with a liberal amount of shampoo. “I hope you don't mind if your hair smells like mine, though.”

“I don't mind,” InuYasha answered. It was the closest he would come to admitting that he liked how her hair smelled.

The hanyou closed his eyes and tipped his head back, allowing her to massage his scalp with her fingertips and work the lather into his thick mane. He felt her gently turn him into the stream from the showerhead as she rinsed the suds from his hair. Then, she repeated the process with conditioner, which she informed him would help keep the tangles out. When she declared his hair squeaky clean, she surprised him by lathering up her hands and proceeding to run the soap over his body. The hanyou found himself panting as her fingers explored every part of his body.

“Your turn,” he heard as the bottle of shampoo was pressed into his hand.

“Keh?” he responded.

“I'm sorry, you don't have to…” Kagome sounded disappointed.

“It…it's not that… tell me what to do,” InuYasha replied hesitantly.

Because she was shorter, Kagome bowed her head as InuYasha gently scrubbed her scalp. When her hair was clean, shiny, and soft, he picked up the soap and lathered his hands as she had done hers earlier.

The miko audibly gasped as she felt the warm, sudsy hands start to rub her back. She leaned back into him, raising her arms so that her hands were lightly clasped behind his neck. Catching the hint, he reached around her ribcage and found her breasts. He cupped one in each hand and gently squeezed before running the claw of his thumbs over her nipples. As he nuzzled her neck and played with her breasts, he felt her reach down and grab his growing erection.

The hanyou was disappointed as Kagome turned loose and then turned into him. It wasn't for long, though.

“Let's dry off and take this to my room,” she whispered. She was flushed with excitement from head to toe.

InuYasha was a nervous wreck. He was terrified he might go one step too far, and have her toss him out on his ear. But so far, she had only encouraged him. In fact, she seemed to have no problem instigating a lot of this. But just how far did she want to go, and when would it be too much? The hanyou took a deep breath and followed her out of the shower. He allowed her to towel him dry, and then picked up a dry towel to do the same for her. Leaving the wet towels where they lay with the dripping clothing, he pulled her to him and kissed her again. If she suddenly decided it was all a mistake and wanted to send him back, he wanted another kiss fresh on his mind to remember.

As he followed her down the hall, wearing nothing but a fresh towel, there was no mistaking the scent of her arousal that was clinging to the air. He looked down to see that the cloth was doing little to hide his growing erection, which looked like a tent pole jutting outwards. The miko took his hand and led him through the door to her room before she closed it and turned off the light. She walked over and flipped on her desk lamp so that they were dimly lit against the backdrop of her room.

It was Kagome's turn to take a deep breath and drop her towel to the floor as she stood in front of the hanyou. He was already starting to pant, and they hadn't really done anything more yet.

“I want to see you,” she whispered as she tugged his towel away from him, and threw it to join hers on the floor. Without any hesitation, she wrapped her hands in his still damp hair and pulled his mouth to hers.

InuYasha wrapped his arms around her and opened his mouth so her tongue could explore. He felt her rubbing her tongue across his, and then gently tracing his fangs with it. He almost lost it when she pricked her tongue on a fang, and he tasted her blood in his mouth.

Before he went to far, before she was ready, he backed her to the bed and laid her on it, pulling her bottom to the edge. He dropped to his knees and buried his face in the black curls between her legs, and took a deep breath before he reached out and tasted her with his tongue. He felt her feet on his shoulders as she thrust herself into his face, silently demanding more. He licked at her hot wet slit that was pouring out liquid heat as fast as he could lap it up.

Next he tackled that special pearl that seemed to bring her such pleasure before. He had to hold her buttocks in his hands with his thumbs wrapped around her hips to hold her in place as he completely consumed her. This time she didn't have to tell him not to stop, for he now understood that those convulsions she had were in total pleasure. The hanyou assaulted her until her body was bucking out of her control, and she finally had to hold his head still so he would know to stop. She rewarded him by gently rubbing his ear as his breath tickled her curls.

She wasn't sure how he would react to her rubbing his ear. She'd always thought he hated it, but found him pressing into her hand.

“I thought you didn't like anyone messing with them,” Kagome commented, now with one leg hanging over the edge of the bed and the other foot resting on the mattress while InuYasha still had his face buried between them.

The hanyou looked up, his nose still resting in her mound. She would have sworn she could feel him smiling against her crotch. It tickled when he replied, “Nobody's rubbed them like that since my mother died. But then, you're the first that's actually touched me on purpose since she died without trying to kill me.”

“I'm sorry, InuYasha,” Kagome responded. “I didn't mean to bring up any bad memories.”

“It wasn't. You can rub them if you want to.”

“Does that mean it feels good?”

InuYasha drew a long, slow lick between her folds. “Does that?”

“Yeah,” Kagome answered as she assaulted both ears, one in each hand.

“Wench, I hope you know what you're doing to me,” InuYasha said as he looked up. He started to work his way up her body. When he reached her breast and latched on, the miko changed her position so that she was lying lengthwise along the bed. She had the leg nearest the hanyou straight out, and the other one bent at the knee. As she continued rubbing one ear, she reached down with her other hand and latched on to him, and gently pulled. She let go when he started to move and used her hand to take his hip and guide him over her body.

She had her right hand on his erection again as she gently worked it, and her left holding his side.

“Ka… Ka…Kagome?” the hanyou asked hesitantly.

“Please, InuYasha. I want to feel you… I want you inside of me…”

“Are…are you sure?” InuYasha asked. “There's no going back if we do this.”

Kagome turned her head away from him, trying to keep the tears from pouring out again. “I… I thought you wanted to. I… I understand if you don't. It's just that… I'm sorry InuYasha, I thought you wanted this.”

She felt her head being turned back up, and when she opened her eyes, she found concerned amber ones looking back into hers. “I do want to, Kagome; but only if you're really ready. It can't be undone. I've been waiting all night for you to decide we'd gone to far and to yell at me to stop.”

“InuYasha, do you want me?” Kagome asked hesitantly.

The hanyou prodded at the crease between her leg and her folds. “Does that answer your question?”

“Would you rather do this with someone other than me?”

“Fuck no!” he exclaimed.

“Do… do… do you love me?” she finally asked, dreading the answer.

“Keh,” he confirmed with a nod.

“Then love me,” she whispered as she pulled him completely over her, and reached down to help guide him in.

“Fuck,” he said softly, as his head passed between the folds of her flesh and into the hot wet slit that awaited him.

“Keep going,” she encouraged as he slowly sheathed himself inside of her.

“Kagome,” he choked out as he felt her fold around him. He looked down from his place above her for any signs of pain, but all he saw was lust and love in her stormy gray eyes as he entered her.

The miko wasn't sure what to expect, but found that it did not hurt. Instead, she felt pleasantly full. She raised her legs so that her feet were dangling over his buttocks. “Okay, you can start now.”

InuYasha pulled out slowly, leaving his thickened head in so he wouldn't lose his place, and then thrust back into her. He fell into an easy rhythm as he held his body off of hers. The only sounds were of their grunts and that of flesh slapping together.

“Gods, InuYasha, go faster… and harder,” she gasped, encouraging him to pick up speed. “Oh… oh… oh… right there…harder.”

“Fuck, `gome, you're so hot… so tight… fuck you feel good,” he panted as he followed her instructions.

He didn't miss a beat as Kagome pulled her knees as far up as she could and grabbed them with her hands to hold them in place. She had started panting as well as InuYasha pounded into her.

“InuYashaaaaaa,” she cried out as she started to orgasm with him inside of her. Her channel begin to spasm and tighten around him, pulling him even deeper into her.

“Fuck, `gome… aaaaaaaahhhhh,” he howled as he exploded into her. He stopped his motion as he continued to pour himself into her body.

InuYasha felt the miko adjust her legs so that they were wrapped loosely around his thighs, and felt her hands gently rubbing his back. He lowered himself to his forearms so that he could remain inside of her, but not crush her. One hand gently reached up to rub an ear as he reached down and claimed her lips as his.

When they finally pulled apart for air, he looked down and saw that Kagome was smiling at him.

“What, wench?” he asked teasingly as he reached up to brush her bangs back out of her face.

“I was just thinking, is all…”

“About what?” InuYasha would have been nervous, except that she was still smiling. And her hand had found his ear again.

“That considering how awful things started this morning, they didn't turn out so bad.”

“I guess those villagers did us a favor after all,” the hanyou responded as his fingers found her breast again.

“And the cold, and then the rain,” the miko added.

“Kagome?”

“Yeah?”

“Do we have to get in a fight first, again? Next time, I mean?” the hanyou asked.

Kagome sighed. “No, but we have to be careful around the others, alright?”

“I know. But would you at least not let the runt get so carried away with the insults? Would you either stop him, or not sit me if I get mad enough to?”

“You deserve that much. Plus you were right, his comments can get on my nerves,” Kagome said thoughtfully as a chill ran through her. InuYasha had shifted to her side and his hand had found its way between her legs again.

In response, she reached over and rubbed the droplets that were leaking from his little slit around the head of his already hard erection. “Ready again, are you?”

He responded by rolling her over and pulling her to her knees. He guided himself into her, and then reached around to cup her breasts. She felt him lying over her back as he started to ride her.

“Oh… oh… gods, Inu… Yasha… harder…” Kagome barely choked out as he picked up speed and hit somewhere deep inside of her. She then felt one of his hands drop down and find her pearl, and start to rub as he pounded against her. All too soon, her channel was fluttering around him again, and the extra sensations set him off. They collapsed into the bed in a limp, satiated heap of hot flesh. Though somehow, InuYasha managed to pull them over on their sides without losing his intimate contact with her. She could feel him nuzzling her neck as one hand caressed a breast.

They fell asleep that way, and luckily woke up early the next morning before anyone returned home. They explored each other's bodies some more before they joined together again to start the new day. The sun had started to climb above the horizon as the hanyou filled her womb with more of his seed, and then kissed her as he continued to pour into her.

The pair eventually made their way to the bathroom for another shower, and were reminded of what originally brought them there; piled in a heap in the floor were their soggy, cold garments. Kagome quickly gathered them up and ran downstairs to throw them in the washing machine. Then she scrambled to find something they each could wear in case her mother and grandfather showed back up. That done, she returned to the hanyou, who was showing great patience, and pulled him back into the shower with her.

They managed to dry off and dress and then headed downstairs. They were dressed in a t-shirt and sweats while they waited for their clothes to dry, sitting at the kitchen table, eating soup and drinking tea. That is how the others found them when they returned home.

When it was time to return to the feudal era a few days later, InuYasha went first, and then ran and jumped in the ancient tree. When Kagome came through a short time later, he hopped down and sprinted to the well, and proceeded to raise a fuss like he hadn't seen her for days. But the old watchful eyes that saw them hadn't missed a thing, including the gentleness with which InuYasha helped the young miko out of the well.

Kaede just smiled to herself. It they didn't want the others to know, she wouldn't be the one to tell them.
