InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Telling ❯ Interrupted ( Chapter 4 )

I love that people are actually reading and reviewing this. As it's my first fanfic, I'm ecstatic. Ladies and gents, the citrus begins here.


The hot water began to relax her overworked muscles, and Kagome sighed in satisfaction. She felt unusually tired for some reason, and her brain ached from overuse. Tilting her head back and closing her eyes, she gave her mind a quick reprieve before beginning her thoughts anew.

Perhaps she had been mistaken about Inuyasha? Maybe he really hadn't wanted to run off to Kikyo again? Could it be that he really was only concerned about her own well-being? Maybe she had failed to notice something important? “Maybe I'm just going insane.” she said softly to herself.

Why did she continue to latch on to the hanyou? Why couldn't she just realize that his heart would always belong to Kikyo? Of course there wasn't any room for her in his heart. But then why hadn't he gone after the undead miko like he had on so many previous occasions? Why had he stayed with her?

Reaching her hands up to her head, she began to slowly massage her temples. Inuyasha really was going to drive her over the edge. One minute he was showing her affection, and the next he was either yelling at her or chasing after Kikyo. “This whole relationship is just so unhealthy” she heard herself murmur.

Her eyes opened suddenly as an unexpected and completely un-Kagome-like thought flashed through her mind. Maybe I should stop being so passive? Maybe I should just show Inuyasha what he's missing? Surely there are certain advantages to being alive? You certainly can't sleep with someone who's not alive! This final thought made Kagome blush. Of course she wasn't ignorant of sex, she was almost 17 after all and it seemed to be the only thing that her friends back home could talk about anymore. But the thought of her seducing anyone, especially Inuyasha was....... new and embarrassing.

“You're just going to have to get over it Kagome.” She told herself in a commanding tone. Besides, how embarrassing could it really be? They'd seen each other naked on more than one occasion after all. Of course, it had all been in an innocent fashion, but that didn't change the reality of the situation. Maybe she would just have to pursue Inuyasha before he could really understand what it was that she felt for him. But could she really pursue him? She had some serious doubts about that. “Okay, so I'll just tempt him then. And if he makes a move, then I'll know for certain what's going through that little hanyou head of his.” she decided out-loud. Seduction was out of her league, but tempting? That she was certain she could do.

Taking a good look around her surroundings to make sure that no one was within her immediate scope of vision, she determined that now might be a good time to practice.

******************************************************** *****

Sesshomaru watched the priestess soak and become lost in her thoughts. Occasionally his superior ears would pick up a softly spoken statement. Her first comment about going insane, he could concur with. Surely no human woman in her right mind would be out in the middle of nowhere, at night, nude in a spring. As to the statement about an unhealthy relationship? That one was more perplexing. Relationship to who? The half-breed? The monk that was always with them? Who ever it was, she certainly didn't seem happy about it, because she then told herself to “get over it.” Whatever that meant.

But it was the final and longest vocalized thought that had finally piqued his interest. She was going to tempt the hanyou? But what would she be tempting him with? Surely this powerful woman didn't mean to try to seduce his lowly half-breed brother? Of course not. It was unthinkable. She was a priestess after all, and weren't they supposed to be pure? And she was powerful, for a human anyway. Why would she want to drop below her station in life and mate with a hanyou?

Sesshomaru's eyes widened at the implications of this last thought. If he was accurate in his assumptions about her tempting Inuyasha, then that would mean that his former decision to never lust after something that his brother had claimed was unfounded. Of course, he wasn't seriously interested in the human, but this could be the all important piece of the puzzle that he had been missing. Was it possible that his brother was even denser than he had previously believed? Had Inuyasha really traveled for so long with this lovely human girl who obviously had some sort of interest in him and not claimed her as his own? “Foolish half-breed.” he said to himself with a sneer.

Oh yes, there was definitely something to be exploited from this situation. He could certainly seduce this little miko away from his brother. It would hardly pose a challenge. But was he, The Lord of the Western Lands, really capable of convincing himself to seduce a human? It seemed so very common and beneath him. But perhaps there were some good reasons to lower oneself. And teaching Inuyasha a lesson in respect for his betters was certainly one of those. Besides, it wasn't as though he was talking about making the miko his mate. He was merely considering bedding the human. This thought did cause an initial feeling of distaste to rise from within him, but glancing back over at the female in question all thoughts of revulsion were driven swiftly from his mind.

************************************************************ *

“Okay then, what would tempt Inuyasha?” Kagome asked herself. “I know that he has a heightened sense of sound.” But making noises of a sexual nature seemed out of the question since she happened to travel with a hentai monk. “Well he seems to be able to see much better than a human, so maybe that could be of use.” And then she hit on it. “Smell. He can smell the changes in people's emotions.” Surely he would be able to scent her if she was aroused? And of course, the hentai monk would be none the wiser. “That's it then. I'll use scent. Well, I'd better get to it.”

Thanking the gods that she was alone, she removed her hands from her temples and slowly slid them down to her breasts. Sitting up a little, she allowed the cool night air to caress her nipples. Kagome slowly moved her hands to cover them as she felt them begin to peak in response to the invading cold around them. Tweaking one gently she felt an instant response low in her belly. Trying not to blush at what she was doing, she continued her gentle ministrations before gradually sliding her hands further down her body. As one hand's searching fingertips found the tuft of hair below her waist, she felt the slight response in her belly become tighter. Slipping one exploring finger along the source of her heat, she closed her eyes. Bringing her other hand into play, she gently spread her nether lips and brought the solitary finger up to the bundle of nerves that she already knew brought her pleasure and gave it a single soft stroke. A soft moan escaped her lips and she knew that if she weren't in a hot spring right now, she would still be soaking.

Sliding that one finger back down she slowly inserted it deep within herself. As she drew it out and slid it back home again, she moaned louder than before. Trying to imagine it was Inuyasha doing these delicious things to her, she could almost hear him call her name.

Opening her dark blue eyes in shock she realized that she actually DID hear the hanyou's voice calling her name. Immediately ceasing her activities she retreated back into the deeper waters to wait.

He was losing his mind. Surely it was just his thoughts of bedding the miko that had supplanted the images of her like this in his mind. Of course she wasn't really doing what he thought she was doing. But there was no way to deny the reality of the situation as he watched her hands travel from her breasts down her body to her......

“Kami, she's touching herself. I can smell her arousal from her.” He thought in dismay as he felt himself involuntarily stiffen at the sight. He watched the miko's other hand travel the length of her body and then heard the soft moan escape her lips. As he continued to stare unblinkingly at the woman, his hand moved of it's own accord to the front of his hakama. As one of her hands seemed to find a particularly sensitive spot, his hand closed on his hardness and gave a single tantalizing stroke which he responded to with a groan. Watching the movements of her well-shaped arm in the water and imagining what was going on below the surface, he knew that he would soon be lost. She was attractive for a human and he had gone too long without a good rut. As she tilted her head back and unknowingly bared her throat to him, it took all of his self-control to keep from rushing out and taking her right there. Thank the gods that he possessed a great deal of restraint.

The fabric of his hakama was becoming unbearably tight and the single stroke that he had given himself through the cloth had done nothing to improve the situation. Feeling slightly disgusted with himself for actually touching his own person in such a manner despite the fact that he could no longer control his arousal, he snaked his hand inside the waist of his hakama. The feeling of warm skin on his hardness was meet with a low growl from the taiyoukai. Grasping his member he began a series of long and languid strokes. But at the sound of a louder moan from the woman in the spring his hips thrust forcefully into his hand and his pace increased.

And then he heard it. The unmistakable voice of the hanyou in the distance yelling “Kagome!” With a hiss of frustration he released himself and quickly adjusted his kimono. Looking at the girl he noticed that she had discontinued her quest for her release. He surmised that she had by now heard Inuyasha as well and cursed the fact that his little brother was now close enough for human ears to hear. That and the fact that Inuyasha had interrupted something that was beginning to become pleasurable.

Heading the fact that the miko, Kagome, as he had heard his brother yell, could hear his brother and that he therefore must be quite near, Sesshomaru swiftly moved downwind of and far enough away from to no longer be sensed by the approaching hanyou. Although he was further from the naked woman than he would have liked, he was still close enough to observe the scene unfolding before him. His brother's senses may have been better than a mere humans, but they could not compare to that of the taiyoukai's.
