InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Telling ❯ The Kiss ( Chapter 6 )

Kagome slowly walked over to the very embarassed looking hanyou. Not once averting her eyes from his, she posed the question of the evening, “Are you alright Inuyasha?”

“Of course I'm fine. Stop asking me!” He gruffly stated.

“Okay.... so you said that you wanted to talk about something. What's up?” Kagome asked.

Caught off-guard by the suddenness of the topic being broached Inuyasha merely looked away from the dark blue gaze of the miko. “Feh. It's nothin`.”

“It must be something important for you to have chased me all the way here, Inuyasha, now spill it.” Kagome forcefully replied.

“Why did you come all the way out here by yourself in the middle of the night anyway?” Inuyasha yelled. “Are you fucking stupid? Do you know what could have happened to you?”

Gaining a little of her previous anger back, Kagome couldn't help but to shout back “Me? Me? I'm the stupid one? If you could have just stopped chasing after Kikyo then maybe, maybe I wouldn't have to....” But before she could continue, she was silenced by Inuyasha's lips crashing down on hers.

For a moment she was shocked, but then she fully gave in to the kiss, wrapping her arms around Inuyasha's neck and pulling him closer. He responded by wrapping one arm around her waist and fisting the other in her wet locks, pulling her entire body tight against his own. She moaned softly into his mouth and he used the opportunity to slip his tongue between her lips. She tasted better than anything he had ever imagined. Succumbing to the need to breathe, her released his hold on her hair and pulled away gently. Taking quick shallow breaths, he caught a new scent on the air.

“Is that what you wanted to talk about Inuyasha?” Kagome teased. Looking up at him, she noticed that he seemed distracted by something. Finally realizing that they were in the middle of nowhere in the dark of night, she began to think that this was not the best time to play the temptress. Quickly growing serious she asked the still-panting hanyou “What is it?”

Inuyasha's only answer was a growl directed towards the edge of the clearing.

 

Kagome gasped as she caught sight of a familiar face coming out of the shadows.

This had to cease, immediately. His brother was kissing the miko, and she seemed to be responding. A deep growl echoed through Sesshomaru's chest. He should kill the hanyou for defiling the woman! No, that would certainly put a halt to any thoughts that he may have had concerning bedding the human. But how could he stop the natural progression of what the two were doing without shaming himself or killing anyone? Perhaps he should just walk away and cut his losses? His growl became louder. He most certainly would not walk away! This was a challenge, and this Sesshoumaru did NOT run from challenges. He would just do what he always did and rise up to overcome it.

Standing up straight, he began to move towards the clearing. Of course the simplest way was often the best way. The boy would of course stop his assault on the woman when he caught Sesshomaru's scent and the taiyoukai could act as though he had only been out for an evening patrol. It was perfect really. He congratulated himself with a small smile before composing himself and placing his usual emotionless mask upon his features.

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

Inuyasha promptly stepped in front of Kagome, essentially blocking her from his brother's view.

“What the fuck are you doing here Sesshomaru?” He ground out between clenched teeth.

“Calm yourself hanyou, I was merely patrolling the area.” Sesshomaru responded in a bored baritone.

“And why the hell are you patrolling here? These ain't your lands!”

“This Sesshomaru does not feel the need to answer such a lowly creature's quandaries” the taiyoukai responded while slightly tilting his nose into the air in a gesture of superiority.

“The hell you say! What the fuck are you doing here?” Inuyasha yelled.

“Inuyasha?” The hanyou felt a little hand on his tensed shoulder and realized that Kagome had spoken softly to him. He turned his head somewhat to look at the blue eyes peering around his side.

The last thing that Kagome wanted now was a fight. She had no bow or arrows, having left them at the camp site and was feeling vulnerable. If Inuyasha would only let his brother's insults go for the time being, maybe they could get out of this alive.

At the sight of the miko's worried blue eyes peeking out from behind his brother, Sesshomaru decided to tease her a little by actually answering Inuyasha's question.

“If you must know half-breed, I was following the trail of a large influx of spiritual power. I sensed it earlier this evening and followed it here. I merely wished to observe it's source.”

“Power? Observe?” Kagome thought to herself. “Is he talking about me? How long has he been here observing anyway?” She began to feel her cheeks heat up.

Ahh so she had understood his remarks? Excellent. And the sight of her blushing was quite lovely. “I wonder how far this pink heat goes?” Sesshomaru thought to himself as he watched the woman's blush spread down her face. Never letting anything but indifference show on his face he continued “Finding nothing of interest to examine, I will take my leave of you.”

“Feh, whatever.” Inuyasha snorted as Sesshomaru brushed by him. “Big loss.”

Kagome however found herself anything but relieved. “What did he mean, nothing of interest? I was naked in a hot spring and I was......” Blushing even harder at the thought of what she had been doing, her thoughts trailed off to nothingness before she realized that Sesshomaru hadn't seemed the least bit interested in the little show that he had certainly gotten.

Kagome found herself strangely disappointed by the idea.
