InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Telling ❯ The Game Begins ( Chapter 5 )

OK, in advance, I want to say, no flames! Yes, this is a Kag/Sess story, so don't get nervous! I'm just trying to keep the characters true to their original selves. Besides, how can I pass up an opportunity to create some sexual tension? ;)

Three chaps in one day! Am I a machine or what?
And keep the R&R's coming, they're what inspire me to keep on trucking on this story.



“Kagome!” Inuyasha shouted as he ran through the forest, his feet barely touching the ground. He was following her scent, and boy, was she ever pissed! He almost stopped at the thought of all “sits” that he would probably receive for chasing after her, but instead he kept on running, hoping that he would find her okay.

“What was she thinking, going this far away from the camp in the dark?” he thought to himself. “Didn't she realize that it was dangerous?” And more importantly, what was that other scent that hung in the air, following hers? It seemed familiar, but it was so light he was having trouble placing it. The smell of her anger was pervading his nostrils and he just couldn't get a solid grip on the other scent. Had something been following her? Was she alright?

At the thought of her being hurt, Inuyasha picked up his already expeditious pace and yelled out for her again. When there was yet again no answer to his call, he began to seriously worry.

And then he caught it, another scent that could only mean one thing. He could even now begin to hear the water. Smiling a little at the thought he ran towards what could only be a hot spring. Of course his Kagome would find a place to bathe. At least she would have relaxed a little from the soak. Or, at least he was hoping that she had.

Slowing his pace a little as he neared the spring, he noticed that there was no scent of her fear or blood in the area. So she was fine and probably just bathing. His final thought brought him to a sudden standstill. He knew for certain what would happen if he came bursting in on Kagome while she was bathing and...... naked. The naked part made it almost worth the punishment. Almost. With a final sigh, he called out more softly than before.

“Kagome?” At least she didn't smell pissed off anymore. Maybe the monk was right and they'd be able to talk about this.

“Inuyasha? Is that you?” He heard her soft voice call out to him.

“Oi wench, of course it's me!” He called back. Perhaps calling her a wench wasn't the best way to get this started? Crap.

“Well, why can't I see you? Where are you?” She asked.

Thank the gods, he hadn't just pissed her off again. But why not? Normally, she would have been yelling at him for calling her a wench. Something just didn't seem right here. “I didn't want to interrupt you while you were..... while you weren't decent.” He responded to her questions.

Could it be that he was finally developing some manners? “Why now?” Kagome asked herself. Of all the times for the hanyou to decide to be polite, why now when she wanted him to come to her? “It's fine Inuyasha, just come out where I can see you. You're making me nervous.” She told the darkness around her.

“Feh.” He stated and then walked into the clearing. As he walked toward the water the first thing he noticed was the change in scent. The air was think with arousal, and not just Kagome's. That other scent that had been following hers was also here and also..... excited. What was going on? He turned towards the direction of the other smell, fully intending to investigate when he was pulled out of his thoughts by his foot touching something soft. He glanced down to realize that it was Kagome's clothes. Thinking that he was mistaken, for she would NEVER invite him into the clearing while she was still bathing, he looked a little closer only to be rewarded by the sight of one of Kagome's underthings.

“Holy shit!” His brain actually screamed at him. “She's here and she's naked, and she invited you over!” His brain was interrupted by a soft splashing sound coming from behind him.

“What is he doing? I'm here and naked, and surely he can smell my arousal, and he's walking AWAY from me.” Kagome thought in disbelief. What had her hanyou so distracted? Deciding that enough was really enough she called out sweetly to him. “Inuyasha? Are you okay over there?”

Inuyasha quickly turned around to face the water at the sound of her voice. “Yeah Kagome, I'm fine.” Looking into the shadows that the trees cast over the spring he could just make out her pale skin and shining blue eyes. “Hey Kagome? I wanted to talk to you about something.”

Deciding that this was her chance, Kagome responded simply “okay” before she stood up and started to slowly walk towards her prey. “Let's see what he does about this” she giggled to herself.

Inuyasha heard the movements in the water, but didn't register them for what they were until it was too late. As Kagome walked out of the shadows on the spring, he was shocked to see that the water no longer covered her breasts. His eyes widened and his mouth dropped open at the realization. Sure, he'd seen her naked lots of time, but never like this. It almost seemed like this time she wanted him to see her. “No fucking way!” He thought to himself as he quickly regained his ability to move and turned away from her. There was just no way in hell she had wanted him to see her. But what a sight she had been! Pale wet skin shining in the moonlight, perky breasts bouncing slightly as she moved, big blue eyes seemingly only seeing him....

Lost in his thoughts of her, he jumped with a surprised yelp as a small damp hand touched his shoulder.

Smiling to herself, Kagome tried to keep the amusement from her voice when she spoke again. “Inuyasha? You okay over here?”

She was touching him. She was naked and touching him. And her scent was thick with arousal. He whined softly as his hakama became unbearably tight at the thought. “Yeah, sure. Course I'm okay.” He replied gruffly.

“Well he obviously isn't going to turn around now” Kagome sighed inwardly. But that whine.... maybe she could make him do it again? “Alright then, as long as you're okay.” she said lightly as she reached up to gently rub a puppy ear between two fingers and a thumb. “They're so soft and silky” she thought to herself. And there it was again, that whine.

At the touch of his ear Inuyasha couldn't help but to let out a louder whine than before. Oh Kami, didn't she know what that did to him? He felt himself get even harder, and his need was now almost painful.

At the sound of the whine, Kagome decided that she should probably stop while she was ahead. Walking over to her clothes, she bent over to pick up her panties.

When he sensed the loss of her body heat and the touch of her hand upon his ear, Inuyasha instinctively looked over to find where she had gone. He was rewarded by the sight of her round bottom as she bent over to pick up the underthing that he had previously noticed. And could that have been what he thought it was? As she had bent over had he caught sight of Kagome's...... Forcefully shaking his head to clear it, he dragged his eyes away from the vision before him. Seeing her bent over like that, exposing parts of her body that only a mate should see, had called to him on some instinctual level. The torture in his pants increased unbearably.

Kagome slipped on her panties and bra, pulled her shirt over her head, and then reached down to pull on her skirt. Glancing over at the hanyou, she was delighted to see that although he was again facing away from her, his ears had swiveled in her direction. “You can look now Inuyasha, I'm decent” she called to him, although she was pretty certain that he already had. As he turned around to face her, she couldn't help but notice the tent in his pants and the deep blush on his face. Oh yeah, he had definitely already looked. Maybe this was going to be too easy.

Sesshomaru watched from a distance as the miko responded to his brother's call. His eyes narrowed slightly as he heard her invite him into the clearing. Why was this woman bothering with a useless half-breed? Perhaps she only desired a physical release? But then why would she chase after the obviously inexperienced hanyou? Surely she did not intend to mate Inuyasha? A soft growl emerged from the back of his throat at the thought.

Why was he reacting in this fashion? She was not his and he had no intentions of making her his. He hadn't even known her name until he had heard his brother call it out tonight. Obviously it was because it would put a stop to his plans if the little miko had her way and mated the half-breed. “Obviously” he vocally agreed with his thoughts. Yet still something tugged at the back of his mind about the origins of that growl.

Ignoring the pull on his subconscious, he turned his full attention back to the scene at the spring. He felt himself harden again at the sight of the human slowly walking out of the spring naked as the day she was born. As she stepped out of the water and came closer to his brother's back, he felt himself start to breathe again. He was uncertain as to when his respiratory system had failed him, but if he had to wager a guess he would say sometime between the point where the girl's full breasts had broken the surface and when he had caught the first sight of the dark curls between her legs. And then his blood went cold.

She had moved even closer to Inuyasha's back and now her bare breasts were almost touching the hanyou. After she had verified that the half-breed was alright, she reached one small hand up to massage one of his ears. As she took that soft appendage between her fingers, the taiyoukai realized that he was growling again, and this time he could not stop himself.

Mercifully, she stopped her intimate rubbing of his brother's ear and walked over to her clothes. Sesshomaru's self-control was tested to the limit however as he caught sight of the hanyou looking at the woman as she bent down to retrieve an article of her clothing. His anger was broken by the sight of Inuyasha's blush and quickly turning body. Sesshomaru too drug his eyes away from the miko to think on what was going on.

Why was he reacting with such force to the situation? This human did not belong to him and he certainly did not have any desire to mark her as his. He glanced back over at the fully clothed miko as she walked back over to his brother. It must be because of what had happened before the hanyou had so callously interrupted. He may not have wanted to mate her, but he had surely wanted to take her and the thought of acting upon these desires was what must be feeding his anger. This want of her, it had clouded his rational thought, that was all. If he had taken her then as he had wanted to, she would have become his in a way. Not completely his as she would not have been his mate, but a part of her would have always belonged to him. That was all. There was no jealousy, only misplaced possessiveness.

This line of thought was broken by the sight of Inuyasha bending down and kissing Kagome.
