Chapter 49 – More

Dinner was a companionable but casual affair, with no one wanting to discuss anything of real meaning. Too much had been going on in their lives lately and it seemed that they all craved the same thing: a little bit of normalcy. They chatted about classes, shared gossip they'd picked up on campus, and just enjoyed the company of their best friends for a while.

Kagome wanted to insist that Sesshoumaru join them, certain that he needed to stop thinking for a little while, because he'd surely done nothing but torture himself with his thoughts since they had returned home. She didn't, however, because she understood that he probably wasn't ready to face Inuyasha yet. Besides, she still needed to tell him that she'd told her hanyou friend everything they'd learned that day. Hopefully he wouldn't be too angry that she hadn't checked with him first, but she stood by her decision. Sesshoumaru would have never shared all the painful details and even if he had wanted to, Inuyasha was unlikely to have listened. She was sure it was best her way.

As she walked up the stairs carrying Sesshoumaru's dinner, she couldn't help but smile. She had done this before, not too long ago. Hopefully this time it would end better. She stopped outside the door, sucked in a breath to steel her nerves. and then opened it and stepped inside. It was - technically - her room too, so she didn't need to knock. He'd invited her to use it and he'd yet to rescind that invitation. Kagome grinned. She didn't think he'd be doing that any time soon, either.

Sesshoumaru looked up at her and immediately noticed the bowl she held. "Hopefully I'll actually get to eat it this time," he said with a smirk.

"That all depends on your attitude." She studied his face for a moment before handing him his dinner with a blush. "I really am sorry about that," she said with a gesture to the large and impossible to miss stain in the middle of his carpet. "I hope it'll come out. Might have to have it professionally cleaned."

"I am tempted to leave it," the taiyoukai responded while poking at the food she'd brought him.

"Why?"

"As a reminder to never piss you off when I'm hungry. Did you make this?" he asked before taking a bite.

"Nah, it's take=out. I need to make a real shopping trip before I can do much cooking. There is almost no food in this house that isn't take-out."

"Oh," he said, his tone hinting at disappointment.

"Why? Don't you want it?"

"It's fine," he said before taking another bite. Once he'd swallowed, he continued. "I would just like to experience your cooking. What landed on my floor certainly smelled good and my stomach immediately made me regret upsetting you, not that that was the only reason I regretted it."

Kagome smiled. "Maybe I'll make it for you again someday." She hesitated for a moment before sitting down in his desk chair and pushing forward, hoping he would understand what she was about to tell him. "Sesshoumaru, I know I should have asked you first, but..."

He looked up, seeing her nervousness, and smirked at her. "Whatever it is, it cannot be worse than what I have done. Just say it, Kagome."

"Well, Inuyasha asked about today; your dad apparently called him earlier. Anyway, I... I told him. Everything. Before you get mad," she rushed to continue, "I thought that he deserved to know. It would have been nearly impossible for you to explain it all and, hard for you because, well, it is, and hard because I don't think he would have sat and listened if you had tried. This way, he knows and can think about it for a while before you try and approach him."

"And how did he react?"

Kagome gave him a weak smile. "Well, he was a dick about it at first, but I managed to get him to look at it objectively instead of emotionally. I think he gets it. Don't get me wrong, he's still mad, but then I didn't expect him to just forget everything. I think eventually you guys will be able to make a fresh start."

"He still blames me then?"

"Yeah," she said softly, "but not exclusively. He understands that it wasn't entirely your fault and that you were just a kid when it started. It'll be okay, Sesshoumaru. I promise. So, are you mad at me? I'm sorry I didn't check with you first."

The taiyoukai studied the apprehensive expression on her face for a moment before smiling, really smiling, at her. "No, I am not angry. You are correct that it would have been difficult for the two of us to have a conversation about it. I would have been reluctant to share and he would have been just as unlikely to listen."

Kagome nodded in relief and then sat silently for several minutes as he ate. After a while, she felt that she'd found enough courage and spoke once more. "There's something else I wanted to talk to you about."

Sesshoumaru tensed, sensing her nervousness. What could she possibly have to say to him that was harder than what she'd just confessed? "Yes?" he asked slowly.

"About... It's about what we did today, in your room and then at your mother's."

He fought back a sigh and nodded. "If you are uncomfortable with what we did, we do not have to continue again until you areready. I do not wish to pressure you."

"No, that's not it. I... I want..." She fell silent for a long moment before steeling her nerves, staring straight ahead at the wall as she spoke. "I want more."

Sesshoumaru's eyes widened, and he put down his bowl to turn and look at her. "More?"

"Yeah, I mean, I'm not ready to go all the way, but... If we had been dating normally, I think we would have moved slowly, experimenting a little at a time. I... I like what we did, a lot, and I want to do something... more."

"What did you have in mind?" he asked while hoping she didn't notice just how aroused he was by her words.

"I don't know. I don't know how this works or, what comes after what. All I know is I want, no, I need more."

Sesshoumaru smirked at her. "Whatever you desire, I will do. You need only ask."

Kagome sighed heavily. "But I don't know what to ask for!"

"Hmm," he murmured in thought. "If you do not know, then I suppose we will just have to act. We will do what comes naturally, knowing that we will not be having sex, and see what happens. You can tell me if you become uncomfortable at any point and we will stop."

"You make it sound so... analytical, like a science experiment," she said with a frown.

His heart clenched in his chest as her words reminded him of his previous experiments, things he had yet to tell her and he didn't want to. He knew they made him look terrible. He had used girls for his own ends and then purposely upset them to keep them quiet about it. He didn't doubt she would hate what he'd done. He could only hope that it wouldn't make her detest him.

Tossing away those thoughts for better ones, Sesshoumaru reached out and pulled her to straddle his lap, pressing his lips to hers in a passionate kiss. Once they pulled apart, he spoke. "I did not mean to make it sound so. Trust me, the thought is anything but cold and clinical." His hands moved to her hips, pulling her tight against his body, allowing her to feel his arousal, smirking as she moaned and dropped her head to rest on his shoulder.

"Gods, Sesshoumaru, I'm so... I need... Touch me."

"It would be my pleasure." He practically attacked her, his lips and tongue leaving a scorching path along her jaw and throat. "You'll tell me... if you want... to stop?" he asked between kisses, his breathing already coming in pants.

"Yes!" She cried out as he ran his fangs over her rapidly thudding pulse.

Sesshoumaru pulled back to look at her, grinning as she groaned in disappointment. "Was that yes for what I said or yes for what I did?"

"Both," she replied before tugging at his t-shirt. "Off, off, take it off," Kagome ordered, and in seconds he'd yanked it over his head and tossed it away. Her hands immediately found his chest, running over hard muscle wrapped in tightly stretched,  silky soft skin.

Though it was difficult to do anything with her touching him like she was, the taiyoukai managed to find the buttons of her shirt. He struggled with his shaking hands, trying and failing to undo them. He was then stunned as Kagome smacked his hands away, worried for a moment that she didn't want her shirt removed, but she quickly laid his fears to rest as she pulled it over her head, leaving her in her bra and jeans.

They pressed their bodies together, groaning in pleasure at the skin on skin contact. He couldn't keep from touching her, running his hands over her sides and back while he kissed her. How he hoped she wouldn't stop him anytime soon. He was greatly enjoying himself.

His fingers found the clasp of her bra, but soon discovered that they were shaking even worse than before. Still, he was a determined demon and, if she allowed it, that bra was coming off! He tried and tried, twisting it this way and that, but to no avail. Suddenly he realized that the guys he'd heard of that practiced removing a bra from a pillow might have had the right idea, since he finally had the chance to take hers off and he was failing miserably.

Kagome was trying not to laugh, really she was. She could sense just how frustrated he was getting, but really, all he had to do was ask for help! He didn't have to fumble blindly forever. Finally Kagome lost the battle and a giggle slipped out, but she regretted it almost instantly when his hands fell to his sides and his head came to rest on her shoulder with a heavy sigh.

"Sesshoumaru, bras aren't easy, let me tell you. When I first started wearing them I thought they might just kill me. Let me do it and you can practice later."

He raised a brow at her. "Do I get to practice on you?"

Kagome frowned. "How else would you practice?"

Sesshoumaru shook his head. "Never mind. Proceed." He  watched as her hands slid around her back and just a moment later, the annoying bit of cloth that had defeated him fell slack. She made it look so easy! Immediately his hands were on the shoulder straps, dragging them down her arms. She looked nervous, so he gently took one of her hands and brought it to his lips, kissing her knuckles. "You are perfect, Kagome. If you are not ready for this..."

"No," she said, her voice loaded with determination, "I'm good."

Deciding to trust her, since he really wanted to take her bra off, he continued. She shifted her arms one by one to pull the straps free and finally, the evil device was in his hands and his eyes were locked on her breasts. They were so enticing, more beautiful than he remembered them to be from his peek after her shower, and he couldn't stop himself from reaching up to cup them. He weighed them both in his hands, squeezing gently, before running his thumbs over her nipples. He watched as she moaned and arched in pleasure, pushing her breasts further into his hands while pressing her hips tightly to his.

Taking it as encouragement, Sesshoumaru leaned down and finally lived one of his lifelong dreams as he just barely licked the tip of one hard peak. The taste of her skin was amazing and he quickly pulled her nipple into his mouth, suckling as she cried out and buried her hands in his hair, holding him tight to her body.

"Oh, Gods, don't stop! That feels so good," she whispered, tugging at his long silver locks in her pleasure. Kagome groaned as he released her flesh, the cool air in the room making her nipple tighten further.

Sesshoumaru surprised her by wrapping his arms around her and standing. He turned and shifted her so that he could lay her out in the center of the bed. She looked so beautiful lying there with her hair wild around her head like a halo, that he froze for a moment. It was like she'd stepped right out of his dreams, and after a moment his beast mentally prodded him. He had her there on his bed, half naked and waiting. He didn't need to be standing there staring. He needed to be touching her!

He crawled onto the bed like the animal he was, finally settling on kneeling over her hips. Then he thoroughly worshiped every bare inch of her with his lips, teeth, and tongue until she was squirming with pleasure. The sounds she made for him were music to his ears and he memorized every single one, as well as what made her make it so he could give a repeat performance. He moved lower and lower until he came to the top of her jeans.

The taiyoukai looked up at Kagome in question, his eyes begging her to allow him to continue. He knew now what he wanted to do to her, and he could only hope she would allow it.

"Go on, take them off," she murmured in a tone that make his cock throb painfully in his pants. She sounded like a temptress, so teasing, so erotic, and it only made him want her more.

His hands found the button of her jeans and he was relieved when he succeeded on the first try. He was tired of looking completely inept. Sesshoumaru pressed a kiss just below her navel, flicking the little pink jewel hanging from her piercing with his nose. Then he slowly lowered the zipper, kissing every bit of flesh as  it was revealed, finally reaching the top of her panties.

She lifted her ass to help as he began sliding her jeans down, moving lower with them until he was standing at the end of the bed with her second to last item of clothing in his hands. He dropped them to the floor before catching one dainty bare foot and pressing a kiss to the arch. His hands and lips moved higher, nibbling at her calf. When he licked behind her knee she laughed, but when he trailed his claws up her inner thigh, Kagome moaned, her eyes rolling back into her head.

Holding both knees, he raised them higher, spreading her legs to display her panty covered core to him as best he could. He knelt between her knees, running his hands over the milky flesh of her thighs. Finally he traced her silk covered fold with the tip of one finger, barely touching her. Seeing that she didn't seem distressed by the action, he did it again, this time pressing harder; searching for the little bundle of nerves he knew of only through research and overheard conversations. He knew the moment he found it, as Kagome's eyes widened and she cried out in surprised pleasure. Her arousal was obvious as the fabric was saturated, and his mouth watered with his desire for a taste.

Unsure of how to ask if he could go further, Sesshoumaru continued to touch her through her panties, alternating with caressing and kissing her inner thighs as well. He could tell she was steadily growing frustrated, and he looked up at her with a seductive smirk.

"Do you still wish for more?"

"Gods, yes!" she practically whined. "Take them off. Really touch me."

The taiyoukai's smirk widened as he reached for the sides of her panties, feeling like he was unwrapping a present he'd been waiting for forever. His slid them torturously slowly down her legs, noticing that once they were gone she'd kept her legs closed.

"There is no need to be nervous, Kagome. I only wish to hear you cry out as you climax."

Kagome giggled. "Oh, is that all?"

He crawled closer while nudging her legs apart, and was relieved when she easily complied. Now she was completely bare before him, awaiting his touch, and he was determined not to disappoint her. Sesshoumaru carefully ran his knuckles along her bare folds before caressing her short black curls reverently. He then allowed his thumb to find her clit and rubbed it with firm pressure. He loved how she gasped at his touch. Finally, he leaned in and allowed his tongue to dip between her sweet petals, tasting her arousal. He had never tasted something so delicious before and he knew instantly that he would never get enough.

He was determined to give her more pleasure than she had ever experienced in her life, and he immediately set out to achieve his goal. He paid close attention to what got the most powerful reaction and repeated it, developing his own style as he went. His hands slid under her ass, lifting her up to his mouth as he devoured her. It was a huge ego boost that she seemed to be enjoying herself so much, but the longer he continued the more he worried that he wouldn't be able to bring her to orgasm.

Kagome was growing frustrated. Never one to be able to climax solely through clitoral stimulation, she decided if she wanted to cum, she had to speak up. "Fingers, Sesshoumaru. I need more... inside."

The taiyoukai paused in his actions to look at his hands, deciding quickly how he would give her what she wanted. He swiftly sliced the claws from his index and middle fingers with his other hand, testing to make sure they weren't sharp before continuing. He slipped his pointer finger slowly inside, groaning at the way her inner muscles clung to it. His brain immediately transferred that sensation to another part of his body, and he realized he had never been more turned on.

He returned to his oral attack on her clit, adding his middle finger to the fun. He pumped his fingers in and out in a steadily increasing rhythm, and in less than a minute, Kagome's back arched as she screamed in completion. He wanted to continue, to do it again, but she wrapped her hands in his hair and pulled him upward. He crawled up her body, licking his lips before leaning down to kiss her.

"That was... Wow," she said while trying to catch her breath.

"I am glad you enjoyed yourself," Sesshoumaru replied with a grin. He arranged himself beside her, lying on his side, and idly drew circles on her abdomen.

Once she could think straight again, Kagome gave his shoulder a nudge. "You... Take your pants off."

He narrowed his eyes at her in appraisal. "I thought you said..."

"Not for that. You got to see me completely naked, it's only fair I get to see you too."

Sesshoumaru chuckled as he rolled to the edge of the bed to stand. "As you wish."

The taiyoukai was nervous as he undid the button and zipper, sliding his pants lower. When his boxers were revealed, he noticed an almost imperceptible frown on her lips.

"I wore them yesterday." When she gave him a questioning look, he elaborated. "The boxers you gave me, I wore them yesterday. You were looking for them, don't even try to deny it."

Her cheeks flushed pink and she smiled. "I guess that means I have to buy you more. One pair clearly isn't enough."

His nervousness exploded to unheard of levels as he stood before her in just his underwear. He knew he wasn't small by any means, and he was worried that she might be intimidated by his size. He'd never heard of a male wishing he was smaller in that one particular way, but at that moment he did. Still, he could not deny her. She wanted to see and so she would. Taking one large breath in and out to calm himself, he dropped his boxers to the floor.

Kagome merely sat staring at him for several long moments, making him worry further, but eventually she smiled and glanced up at his face. "Not bad. Not bad at all."

"Not bad? That is all you have to say?"

"No," Kagome said in a teasing voice. "Come back up here and lay next to me." Sesshoumaru obeyed, returning to the place he'd occupied before. His erection lay across her lower abdomen, so hot against her that she let out a gasp of surprise. He went to pull away but then she reached out and ran the tips of her fingers along his length. "It's so soft, but so hard at the same time." She continued her perusal of the first penis she'd ever had the opportunity to touch, the only one she'd ever wanted to touch, and he watched her with rapt attention.

Looking at her touching him was enthralling. In all honesty, he never expected her to want him in any way. He had always been sure she would reject him, so he'd never allowed himself to believe that something like this could actually happen. He had never really wanted anyone else to touch him either, and even if he had, the Syndrome had made it unbearable. Sesshoumaru had long ago resigned himself to the fact that his hand would be the only source of pleasure he would ever experience, so this... This was a gift, one he never for a moment thought he would receive.

Seeing that he seemed very interested in what she was doing gave Kagome the confidence to take it one step further and she wrapped her hand fully around his length. She was timid at first, as she began to stroke him, but when he let out a moan that sent shivers down her spine, she decided to truly go for it. Her hand tightened and she sped her actions, every now and then running her thumb over the head, smearing the clear liquid escaping him. Every time she did this, his whole body seemed to jerk, and she couldn't help but smirk a very Sesshoumaru-like smirk. She was doing that to him; she was causing him to react so. She was making him moan and occasionally even growl. The male that every girl wanted, but none could have but her; she was the one giving him pleasure and she found she was quite enjoying it.

Sesshoumaru knew that his end was closing in quickly, but he was torn. Should he warn her and give her the chance to stop, or should he let it occur? Surely she knew what would eventually happen if she continued, but he had no idea how she felt about it. What if it disgusted her? If he did cum, it would end up all over her belly, and he didn't doubt that it could be upsetting if she didn't like the idea. Finally he decided that he needed to warn her, and quickly, before it was too late.

"Kagome, I..." He let out a low moan as her hand tightened, and he had to fight to keep his eyes open. "If you don't stop..."

"You finished me," she purred sensually. "It's only fair I do the same for you."

"I did not expect... reciprocation." Gods, it was so hard to focus enough to form words. What she was doing to him felt a million times better than anything he had ever done to himself!

"But you're going to get it." Her hand never stopped its movements as Kagome leaned into his body, her lips finding one small male nipple. She gave it a quick lick, as if testing his flavor, before nibbling at the now hardened little bud.

That was it. That was all he could take. She pushed him over the edge with her erotic and totally unexpected act. He'd never known his nipples could be so sensitive and had never expected them to be a source of pleasure. A loud snarl echoed in the room as he climaxed, his hot seed shooting out to cover her hand and her lower abdomen. Physically exhausted, Sesshoumaru flopped onto his back, trying to regain his composure. He'd never cum so hard in his life!

Meanwhile, Kagome was looking curiously at the substance covering her hand. It wasn't quite how she'd expected it to look, and she began drawing with one finger in the small puddle on her stomach. Once he could open his eyes and move once more, Sesshoumaru sat up and looked at her, only to be mortified by what he'd done.

"Kagome, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"Where do you think I expected it to go?" she asked teasingly. "It's fine. Just get me something to wipe it off with. Then I'm going to go take a shower."

He mentally cringed at her words. She needed to wash it off immediately, to scrub away any hint of what they'd done? Did he disgust her that much?

It was as if she could sense his distress, and she laid her hand on his shoulder. "I was planning on taking a shower tonight anyway. It has nothing to do with this... except maybe because I don't want sensitive noses picking up on it and jumping to conclusions. They don't need to be in our business."

"Are you sure you're not upset?" he asked while handing her a washrag from his pile of linens in his closet.

"If I didn't want it to happen, I wouldn't have done it. Just relax, Sesshoumaru. I'll come back in a little while."

He watched as she slipped back into her jeans and pulled on her shirt, forgoing her undergarments, before grabbing a towel and leaving the room. Sesshoumaru sighed heavily before lying back on the bed to stare at the ceiling. A smile slowly spread across his face. This was definitely an evening well spent.


The guys were gathered in the basement, checking out the newest improvements while figuring out what else still needed to be done. Bankotsu had been grinning the whole time, and after a while, Inuyasha decided to call him on it.

"What the fuck is so amusing, Bank?" Inuyasha growled, irritated that something was going on that he knew nothing about.

"Nothing I can share. I've been told in confidence, but I promise you, it's good." Bankotsu couldn't help but rub it in.

"Oh really?" Miroku chimed in. "And just who does this concern?"

"A new couple we all know."

"Ugh, who gives a damn?! I don't wanna talk about them anyway. I'm tired of hearing about it. Way too awkward," the hanyou complained.

"Awkward is right," Bank said with a laugh. "You have no idea how badly I want to tell you."

"So it's juicy?" Miroku prodded.

"Very. Let's just say that our sweet little friend isn't the only inexperienced one in the relationship."

"Holy hell!" Shippo cried out. "Are you kidding me? That's not possible!"

"It does seem quite unlikely considering the level of attraction the female population has to him. They practically throw themselves at him!" The monk shook his head in disbelief.

"Okay, fine, if I tell you then you guys have to swear you won't say a word. Kagome would never forgive me, or you either. Inuyasha, that applies doubly to you."

"What the fuck ever. Why would I wanna talk to Kagome about her sex life," he shuddered, "with my half-brother?"

"You also cannot breathe a word about it to Sesshoumaru either. I'm serious."

"Fine, I won't. You guys going along with this?"

Miroku and Shippo nodded their agreement.

"Alright," Bank leaned in close, glancing around conspiratorially. "Here's the deal. Sesshoumaru is a virgin because of the syndrome. He could only ever get it up for Kagome, and he didn't even know why for the last four years. He has no experience and told Kagome that he's afraid he won't be able to please her because he doesn't know what he's doing."

Miroku's eyes widened and Shippo plopped down to sit on the floor in shock. Inuyasha was strangely silent, and Bankotsu looked at him with concern.

"You can't say anything, no matter how tempting it is to tease him."

"The fuck I can't! He's a filthy fucking liar and she needs to know!" Inuyasha suddenly yelled, startling everyone.

"What do you mean?" Miroku asked. Surely Inuyasha wouldn't try to sabotage their relationship again. He should know better by now!

Inuyasha sighed heavily before leaning back against a wall. "You guys remember that party we went to when Kagome was attacked in the bathroom?" When everyone nodded, except Shippo who hadn't been around yet, the hanyou continued. "Well, remember that girl I went upstairs with?"

The now very upset hanyou continued on with his story, telling everyone about the blowjob he wished had never happened. He had never planned on telling anyone what happened that night, but now... Kagome's future was at stake and Sesshoumaru was trying to start their lives together with a lie.

Once everyone was caught up, it was agreed. Kagome had to know as soon as possible, before she made a huge mistake, one that she would regret for the rest of her life.  


@@@Note: If you are confused by what Inuyasha is talking about, see Chapter 44, which references what happened originally in Chapter 8. Finally getting to the big drama now, people. Anyone want to hazard a guess what happens next?@@@
