InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Together Forever ❯ Bed Time, a Kill, and Bath Time ( Chapter 31 )

Chapter Thirty-One: Bed Time, a Kill, and Bath Time

Inuyasha sighed, plopping down next to Kagome as she handed Shippo his dinner of ramen noodles, smiling at her softly when she handed him his own ramen. "So, why did Ares leave?" Kagome looked up from her noodles, swallowing the hot broth she had been sipping, wincing as it made a burning trail down her throat. "She had something to do." "And that would be?" "I'm not sure exactly. All I know is that it's got something to do with her religion and her duty as both miko of her religion and alpha female of her tribe." Inuyasha sighed, running his fingers through his bangs in frustration. "Alright then, when the others get here we'll leave." "So that's our plan?" He shrugged, watching Shippo finish off his noodles, his own still halfway full. "It will have to be; for now at least."

"Right then," Kagome looked up, finding Shippo to be done eating and moving to go outside, "its bed time young man!" "Aw, but mama-" Kagome cut him off with a glare, "No buts, it's getting late and it's dark out; bed!" Inuyasha arched a brow as his pup pouted, the small kit turning to his father for help. "Papa, I don't wanna go to bed yet." Kagome waited, foot tapping impatiently, arms crossed over her chest in a gesture of the subject of bedtime being final and without room for discussion. "Nope, you heard her." Shippo pouted more, but relented when Inuyasha scooped him into his arms, moving over to the kits bed and depositing him there. With one last pout the pup mumbled grudgingly, "Night mama, night papa," as he laid down, soon falling into a peaceful sleep.

Kagome shook her head in, slightly annoyed, amusement and pulled the cover up around him, kissing his head softly as she blew out the lantern near his bed, smiling and placing her hands on the warm arms of Inuyasha that encircled her small frame when she stood. "I can't wait till all this with Naraku and the Shikon is over." "Why's that?" She asked, turning her head to look at her silver haired mate, becoming ensnared by the light in his golden eyes. His smile was breathtaking and his body firm and warm as he pulled her closer to him, his lips gracing her pulse point with a small butterfly kiss, then the lobe of her ear with a soft nip.

"Because then it will be safe; we all wont be in danger, our pup wont have to see all the bad things we've been through anymore, and we can start on giving him siblings." The last part of his reason sent a small flutter through Kagome's stomach. She moved away from him, changing into her night clothes and slipping into bed, watching him as he blew out all the lanterns, the moonlight silhouetting his lean yet muscled form as he stripped to his white under gi, leaving only the bottoms on as he crawled into bed beside her. He embraced, her, and she curled against him, laying her head on his shoulder, glad for his warmth and comfort. "I just know, with my luck, that at least one of them will be a chibi you."

He chuckled, one hand playing along the curve of her hip. "And we will have a little onna just like you." "I hope they have hair and eyes like yours………" "Ah, I knew you only loved me for my silver and gold." She chuckled, looking up into his golden eyes, one hand tangling into his silver hair. "And your body lets not forget that." "Smart ass." He accused lightly smacking the mentioned part of her anatomy. "Hentai." She accused back, smacking the offending hand as it starting playing along her hip again. "Sleep mate, we'll most likely be heading out before noon." She sighed, closing her eyes, breathing in his gentle yet manly scent; sweet like the fresh rain upon the woods, crisp like the early morning, and that of the untamed wilds, with the underlying hint of muskiness that all masculine men held. He watched her closely, studying her, even after her breathing evened out and she nuzzled his shoulder in her contentment. He relaxed for the moment, closing his eyes as he yawned lazily, falling into a state of half sleep.

"Anna, Lia; I think we've got a visitor!" Kinjya called, waving a hand at the two hiding within the trees. They emerged quickly, coming to the base of the small oak where Kinjya sat, her eyes cast down the dirt path, as though waiting for someone. "Meow." "Hello Kirara." They coursed, save for Kinjya who merely nodded. "So," Lia paused, looking to Kirara then the other two, "we've got a youkai to kill and a shard to gain, shouldn't we get moving?" "The shard will come to us." Anna murmured, picking Kirara up, petting her sleek fur earning her an appreciative mewl.

Lia watched her, then nodded, though after a moment she began to pace. "I can't feel it." "Nor can I." Kinjya replied, looking to Kirara who still remained within Anna's arms. Anna looked down at Kirara, asking quietly, "Think you can start to corner it?" With a mewl and a nod Kirara was gone from her arms, fully transformed and making her way through the woods, searching out the youkai.

The three females followed, Lia breaking away to circle the right side while Anna went left, Kiya moving on ahead of Kirara though the tress to corner it from behind. A shift in the wind brought forth a growl from Kirara; the wind carried with it the scent of freshly spilled blood and that of which was a human.

The cry of a human female echoed within the woods, drawing a growl from the four female youkai who moved even more quickly through the woods, quickly coming upon their prey, drawing in tightly, giving it no room to run, nor alerting it to their presence as it again moved in to play with its little "toy".

Wide coco brown eyes, overflowing with tears, widened, their owner; a young girl of at least ten summers shrunk back into the gnarled tree roots behind her, lifting her hands to shield against the claws that viciously pierced her flesh. Another painful cry tore from the girls throat, fear filling her to push forth another cry as she was jerked forward, thrown to the ground, the flesh of her back and kimono ripped; soaked in crimson blood.

The girl clenched her eyes shut, tears slipping down pale cheeks smeared with blood and dirt, waiting for the final blow. An ungodly roar followed by what sounded like three battle cries echoed in the forest and someone grabbed her, holding her gently to a soft body before setting her down on her stomach, careful of her wounds, before moving away quickly. She opened her eyes, turning her head she caught the glimpse of a large cat with fire upon its body swiping a great clawed paw at the youkai that had attacked her and three girls; moving in with claws and swords poised to attack.

The youkai, which was a tora youkai, turned; coal black hair fluttering in its wake, yellow eyes glowing, hissing at Kirara, in an attempt to flee but was met with three other youkai. It pounced, claws swinging wildly as it attempted to shred their flesh, shrieking once again as the large claws of the fire neko dug into its flesh, flinging it away form the females and into a tree. With a growl the tora pushed off from the tree, fangs glinting in the fading moon light, bloodied claws reaching for Kirara's flesh, but it never made it.

Anna saw the attack before Kirara could even react and struck out at the tora's exposed side with her whip, Kinjya quickly followed with a swipe of her gleaming claws, Lia following suit by attacking the tora's other undefended side, Kirara finishing it off with a finale and deadly swipe of her paw.

"That was rather easy." Kinjya commented as she cleaned the blood from her face, Anna sighing as she moved over and began to wipe away the remaining blood on her "sisters" neck. Lia, with a now small Kirara upon her shoulder, made her way over to the young girl. The girl whimpered in fright, trying desperately to keep consciousness despite the amount of blood loss and shock took hold of her abused body. "We won't harm you, just relax and we'll heal you. Anna, come, I need your help here." Anna and Kinjya came over, sending Kirara away to dispose of the body as Anna kneeled by the child, placing her hands over her back, careful not to touch her wounds.

A light golden glow seemed to swirl around her hands and drift down, caressing the wounds, healing them slowly, finally dispersing when the task was done. Lia lifted the girl into her arms, her blue eyes locking with the child's own coco ones, the fear slowly fading from them. "How far is your village little one?" "Less than a days travel…that way." She answered in a choked voice, pointing in the general direction of her home, cold making her shake lightly. "Right then, hold tight to me, I'll take you home. You two; find Ares quickly. And Kirara, why don't you come with me, hmm? You can return to your mistress once the child is home and safe." The two ookami youkai nodded, leaving quickly, Kirara transforming once more as Lia settled upon her back, setting the girl down before her, holding her between Kirara and herself. With one last glance around they took to the skies, moving swiftly towards the East.

Miroku stirred, opening his eyes slowly, sighing when he realized it was still night. He looked down at his chest, smiling as his eyes took in the peacefully sleeping Sango. He pulled the cover over them more, tucking it around her he began to stroke her hair, holding back a chuckle when she made a very neko-like sound in the back of her throat. He closed his eyes, resting for a little longer before he knew they would have to get up; dawn was only hours away.

Sango smiled, curling against her very warm yet firm pillow, momentarily forgetting where she was and what she had done. Though when a soft chuckle met her actions it all came flooding back to her and she felt her cheeks heat to a lovely shade of red. She opened her eyes quickly, looking up, flushing from the roots of her hair to her chest as her eyes locked with the amused eyes of her koishii. "Finally awake I see my koibito." "Eh…." She replied oh-so-smartly, while looking away, to his teasing remark. With a bit of protest from his lower back Miroku sat up, pulling Sango into his lap, ignoring the squeak she gave as her bare flesh connected with his. "So shy after our lovemaking, it's almost adorable."

Sango huffed at him, her fist lightly connecting with his head. "Hentai." She turned from him, though remaining in his lap as she drew the cover up around her. Warm strong arms wrapped around her form, one about her hips, the other just under her breasts. "But only for you my koibito." She smiled slightly. "Then you know I'll chop it off and feed it to wolves if you ever touch another woman, yes?" Miroku winced at that. "Possessive are we?" "Maybe." She replied coyly, turning to plant a kiss on his lips. "Heh…" She sighed, leaning against him taking his hands into her own laying them on her stomach. "What are we going to do Miroku?" He stopped his trail of kisses across her neck. "What do you mean?"

She turned her head, looking deeply into his eyes, one hand coming up to cup his cheek. "What are we going to do? I……..…I don't want to lose you………..and..……" she looked away, sniffling lightly, angry at herself for being so emotional. Miroku shook his head softly, pulling her closer, nuzzling her neck. "We still have to collect the shards of the Shikon, and destroy Naraku, and after that….well actually, maybe even before that; I want to make you my wife." She turned her body to face his, her legs snug around his hips, eyes wide and the crystalline trace of tears still present and more welling within her eyes. "You mean it? You'd really want to marry me; a taijiya; the most unfeminine woman there is?" He leaned down, kissing away the tears. "Sango, I would never have made love to you if I didn't want to marry you," he paused, giving her a mock look of offence, "even I have more dignity than that; to use such a lovely and wonderful woman like you is far below me." She rolled her eyes, whapping him on the top of the head gently. "You just remember that then." With that she stood, grabbing her yukata, flushing as she caught his eyes roaming like hungry beasts over her body, a wistful sigh escaping him as the yukata was closed and tied blocking her body from his view.

He stood, grabbing his own yukata and slipped it on, a small bit of pride filling his chest as he caught her looking at his bare body. "A bath then?" She nodded her agreement, moving out of the room and down the hall to the bathing room. He followed close behind, arching a brow at the already made bath, his eyes falling onto a note laying near the wood pile prepared for the baths heating fire.

-The water is fresh, just thought you two might like a nice bath. Have fun and behave.

Lia -

He shook his head, handing Sango the note. "And you call me a hentai." "She could have just been being thoughtful," she paused, catching Miroku's disbelieving stare, "or maybe not." "Wishful thinker, aren't you?" She laughed whole heartedly, watching the contours of his body through the robe as he lit the fire to the bath. "Yes, I suppose I am." She dipped her hand into the bath, shrugging out of her yukata a moment later, grabbing two towels and washing cloths, laying the towels on a bench that sat along the wall and the cloths on the edge of the bath.

A warm body pressed against her back, something semi-hard and getting harder by the moment pressed against the inside of her thigh as Miroku pulled her close, nipping at the lobe of her ear. She shuddered; her body heating at the feeling of his nimble fingers trailing over her naked flesh.

"Mmmm……Miroku……." A husky chuckle slipped from his lips, and he suckled the soft flesh of her neck more, pleased when she gave a small moan. She whimpered, squirming slightly in his hold, rubbing her thighs together as that, what she now found pleasurable, heat began to grow, making her yearn for the feeling of Miroku within her again. "Miroku………..onegai………" She whimpered out, her eyes closing of their own accord as he began to trail a hand down her stomach, stopping when he reached the dip leading down to the apex of her thighs.

She whined slightly and he smirked, finding the little sounds she made to be quite erotic and he relented, dipping his hand all the way down till he cupped her, amused and slightly turned on by the way she rocked her sex against his hand. She bucked small whimpers and mewls leaving her lips as he dipped a finger into her folds running it along her opening before trailing it up to her sensitive nub pressing his finger against it as she kept moving, his name passing over her parted lips in a heated cry.

His tongue left a heated wet trail from her ear to her shoulder and a pleasured cry greeted his ear as his free hand met her bared chest, trailing over each one; teasing the hard nubs until she withered against his hand that still moved against her core. "Miroku, please!" Her cry was broken by a moan as he caressed her harder, and he was all too happy to fulfill her wish. His hands left her only to catch her hips as she moved to face him, their lips locking, tongues battling fiercely for dominance; his claiming victory as it explored the wet cavern of her mouth. He bit her lips, earning a breathy whine from her as he pushed her down to lay upon her discarded yukata, their hands running along each others body with a frenzied need. His hands traveled down the soft expanse of her toned thighs, pushing them apart as she moaned out her pleasure for him, his lips latched onto a hardened bud. With gentleness he claimed her body with his, her cries of pleasure increasing as he rocked his body against hers, nibbling at her ears.

Sango cried out, the hot puffs of air from Miroku's mouth against her neck making her squirm, though her legs were locked tightly around his back, her back arched, body rubbing against his, rocking in motion with his thrusts. "Miroku……..oh kami……..harder, please……." He fulfilled her plea, pounding into her as hard as he could without harming her, nipping at her lips, nearly bruising them with a rough passion filled kiss. She pulled away, breath caught in her throat, though it erupted moments later as she spun off into oblivion, her body shaking as Miroku moved, joining her not long after in his own pleasure.

She laid back, his head upon her breast, stroking his hair as he wrapped an arm around her waist, both of them taking time to collect themselves. He stood after a moment, pulling her up, easing them both into the now hot bath. She smiled up at him, moving away to stretch, lathering a cloth with soap before tossing it to him, grabbing her own and lathering it, moving to wash her still tingling body from their activities, a small grin gracing her flushed face. With a sly smirk Miroku sighed, watching her as he followed suit, though plans for later activities still entered his train of thought every now and then throughout their bath.

Lia again bowed to the mother and father, of the now sleeping child, who tried yet again to offer her some means of reward for bringing back their only child safely. "It is fine, really. I'm just glad she's home now." With a smile she and Kirara took to the sky, stopping once they were outside the village that Sango and Miroku were within. Kirara bounded away, in her small form, towards her mistress as the first light of dawn broke through the trees. Lia smiled to herself, though something nagged at the back of her mind, and set off once more; this time to do a task for Sesshoumaru, but first, she had to find the Taiyoukai.
