3. The Last Straw.

 

The next morning Kagome arrived when everyone had already had their breakfast. Kaede had asked the group to stay in the village to help her with her chores. She needed time to rest because she had spent several days helping some villagers through a difficult fever.

 

Everyone had their respective duties. Kagome took on fire wood collection and was diligently picking up nice sized branches. It was in one of those instances when she was kneeling and collecting several at a time when a branch had an exposed splinter. It pricked her finger earning a small cry of pain. Her small yelp was not so much from the pain from the splinter but more from her reprimanding herself for being distracted.

 

InuYasha's keen sense of hearing had zeroed into her. Instantly, he was right in front of her and kneeled. He asked, “What happened?”

 

Kagome blushed immediately at his nearness. She tried to shoo him away. She said, “Oh nothing. It's nothing.”

 

She was about to pick up the branches that she had laid by her side when InuYasha immediately grabbed her right wrist. He made her hand face him. That was when he saw that the pricked finger was her middle one.

 

Kagome was unable to move. He was touching her. She had been wishing for some physical contact with him for so long that anything would do for her.

 

Kagome felt like the world moved in slow motion when the Hanyou approached her hand to his face. Then she saw how he carefully inserted the tip of the bleeding injury into his mouth.

 

Kagome stopped breathing.

 

He licked the drop of blood. He continued ministering the tip of her finger softly, revealing his tongue to her in the process.

 

Mesmerized, she observed how his soft muscle caressed the injured area of her finger. It was wonderful. How she wished that it would also caress her own tongue.

 

He pulled her finger out of his mouth and then approached it to his nose.

 

He sniffed it.

 

He knew that she was impeccably clean since she loved taking baths. But he still could not shake off his need to try to smell her essence directly from that finger. He was well aware that this finger had been in places he had wished he'd been.

 

Not satisfied with the short sniff he proceeded to boldly smell its length completely.

 

Finally, he found what he was looking for. There were still remnants of her despite her morning bath.

 

Determined, he turned her hand to sniff the finger from the palm side. For some reason the smell was stronger there.

 

He looked at her directly in the eye. He saw her flushed cheeks and how her mouth opened ever so slightly. She was breathing in soft short breaths.

 

Incredulous, Kagome was taking in what he was doing. It was sweet torment.

 

After a significant pause he closed his eyes, leaned in and slipped her entire middle finger into his mouth.

 

Her stomach flip flopped straight away.

 

That delicious gesture would have made her fall right there into pieces. However, she was very much aware about the meaning of it all. She had been discovered.

 

In the end her beloved half-demon had not smelled her wound. Instead, he smelled her essence. And now he was licking and sucking it whole. He had discovered that this was the finger she uses when she pleasures herself.

 

He kept sucking her finger making it slowly go in and out of his soft and warm mouth. He reveled at the taste, the smell, at the fact that he had her finger in his mouth. She observed and felt this attention in awe and suppressed desire as tears threatened to form.

 

The soft sound of Shippo's footsteps approaching them prevented him from continuing further. Reluctantly, he pulled her finger out of his mouth. No longer holding her hand he remained looking at her while she returned his gaze petrified although trembling.

 

Shippo saw them kneeling and looking at each other in silence. “What happened?” He asked.

 

Kagome stood up suddenly and said, “Nothing, I just had a splinter but InuYasha just took care of it.”

 

Shippo said, “But you're trembling Kagome. Are you sure that everything is all right?”

 

She said, “Yes. Why don't you go with the others? I have to talk to InuYasha.”

 

Shippo stood still. Unconvinced he turned to leave.

 

InuYasha was standing by now right in front of her and she noticed how Shippo was dilly dallying about.

 

With barely a perceptive volume she said subtly to InuYasha, “I need to talk to you but it has to be someplace where good intentioned ears can't listen.”

 

InuYasha looked in her direction to encounter Shippo at her sight. It was obvious that the young demon was going to try to listen to their conversation.

 

The Hanyou turned around and hunched so that Kagome could climb onto him. Once she was firmly in place, he ran swiftly. He took her away towards a private part of the forest.

 

When he leaned down so that she could get off Kagome said, “Please don't turn around.”

 

That was unexpected. He straightened himself and stood looking away from her.

 

“I need to say something to you and I won't be able to do so if you look at me. So please don't turn around,” she repeated.

 

He remained immobile.

 

She walked backwards only a little so that she could see his back comfortably.

 

“What I am going to request InuYasha is outrageous and selfish. However, I am at my wit's end and frankly I don't care anymore.” She paused.

 

“I don't care what you may think of me or what I may think of myself. All I know is that I have changed and grown into a woman of nineteen years of age. With that came new feelings that I cannot control. Frankly, they are driving me mad.” She said.

 

InuYasha remained standing and listened attentively.

 

Kagome stalled. Then she said, “I have been trying to deal with those feelings, those yearnings alone. But I have discovered that it isn't enough. I even bought condoms and went to a party with the sole purpose to ask Hojo to make love to me and help me with my condition.”

 

At this point InuYasha's eyes widened and he tensed considerably. His hands involuntarily began to shake in angry fists.

 

“But,…” she continued. Little did she know that he was a hair away from turning around.

“…I couldn't do it. There I was shirtless and with him on top of me but I couldn't do it.”

 

InuYasha felt his patience draining dangerously. The thought of her half naked with another man was inconceivable.

 

She started to cry, “I couldn't do it because it wasn't you. It had to be you.”

 

InuYasha started to say in a furious growl, “Kagome…..”

 

“No! Please don't talk. You're going to make me loose my nerve. Please let me finish.”

She implored.

 

He stood frozen and looked at the forest floor trying to control his outraged feelings.

 

“I have honored and respected your decision to be with Kikyo. I have accepted that I have no place in your life as your mate. I have tried to make do with my role in your life as your friend.” She paused.

 

“Believe me when I say that I will always be there for you. But, I am not that innocent anymore. I have become selfish and demanding. I want and need you so bad that it hurts. I cannot take it anymore.” She said with a bad taste in her mouth.

 

Disconsolately she continued, “Since my attempt with Hojo failed I have tried with all my will to keep away from you. I have also tried to comfort myself on my own. And for a moment I thought that I may succeed. But then, you found out my secret. You have smelt it and you had to taste it. You just had to put my finger in your mouth,” she paused shaking her head from side to side. Then she said grinding her teeth, “You have broken the last of my efforts to hold back.”

 

InuYasha looked up with restored control and surprise.

 

“For this reason, I have decided to ask for a favor. It is the only way I know how to solve my problem. It is selfish but I don't know what else to do. I think that if you do this for me, then I may get on with my life.” She said nervously.

 

She stalled.

 

The moment of silence that followed was long and InuYasha moved his head slightly to the side wondering if she was still there. She noticed this and that was when she blurted out, “Give me tonight. Let me make love to you tonight. My family is out and this is my chance.”

 

InuYasha's eyes widened as he took in a gasp of air.

 

“It won't be mating.” She continued. “I read it in some of Kaede's scriptures about Youkai. I will prevent my scent from being on you and thus it will be as though we have not mated. I will make love to you; not the other way around. I mean, I have in my possession some spells that are to be said before and afterwards. They will keep my scent from being on you. I will avoid touching any other part of your body except your groin area.”

 

By now InuYasha had a full blown erection from listening to everything that she was saying.

 

“It is full proof. I discussed it with Kaede candidly and she said that the spell was made for Mikos who needed to heal a demon through sex. However, since they did not want to be mated to the demon then this spell and ointment came to be. It seems that there are some ancient curses that can only be broken through sex and so this method came to play. It is an ancient practice; it was used before Miko's and demons became complete mortal enemies. Nowadays, not one Miko would practice this.” She explained.

 

“All you have to do is show up at my house tonight. I have thought this through for so long that it is guaranteed. You will be able to be true to your heart because it will mean nothing to you. You will still be able to mate with Kikyo as planned.” She said.

 

She could tell that he was shocked and tense.

 

“I must sound crazy.” She paused and scoffed, “Not only that, it is shocking that I am asking this. What you must think of me right now?” She wondered.

 

“I-I…” He started.

 

“Don't give me an answer right now.” She cut him off. “Actually, take the day to think about it. If you show up tonight I'll take care of everything. If you don't then tomorrow we'll act like this conversation never happened. I will not be angry with you and I will leave you alone.”

 

Her mouth was dry, her heart was pounding against her chest and she wanted to flee from there as quickly as possible. She said, “I can't be around you right now. I am going back to camp. I'll feign that we fought so that I can leave early.”

 

She ended saying, “Think about it. Remember it is a favor for me and you'd be absolved of everything.”

 

She backed up observing his back. She paused to look at him one more time before she left.

 

InuYasha turned just in time to see her figure leave in a sprint. He could smell new tears coming from her.

 

Kagome arrived to the camp with Kaede's fire wood. Sango saw her bloodshot eyes and asked already annoyed, “What happened?”

 

Kagome said, “Listen, I am going home. Tell Kaede that I'm sorry but I can't help anymore. I'll see you guys tomorrow when I feel better.”

 

Sango said, “I'm going to kill InuYasha.”

 

Kagome said, “No!”

 

Sango looked at her confused.

 

Kagome said, “It is my fault. I just need today. I'll see you tomorrow all right?”

 

Sango was surprised to see that Kagome had actually defended the Hanyou. “Very well. We'll take care of the rest.” She answered.

 

Miroku and Shippo saw as she left and then they heard InuYasha's footsteps bringing the buckets of water for Kaede.

 

He was awfully serious and quiet. They had expected to hear him ranting and raving about Kagome but not this way.

 

The Hanyou looked at the buckets of water that he had deposited on the floor and said, “Tell Kaede that I'm sorry but I have to go.”

 

Miroku blurted out, “Are you coming back?”

 

InuYasha stopped and looked at him. He said, “Maybe….” He clarified saying, “Maybe tomorrow.”

 

As he looked at Miroku the perceptive monk saw a pain in his friend's eyes that had left him speechless. For the first time he felt that InuYasha looked completely distressed.

 

The three saw him turn and walk towards the Gengoku tree. They knew that he would be sitting there for the rest of the day.

 

Sango looked at Miroku and he returned her gaze. Miroku then noticed how Shippo looked like he was about to cry. That was when he said, “They will sort things out. They always do. Let's not worry about it. Tomorrow you'll see that everything will be fine.”

 

Disbelieving, the two smiled back at him. Just the same, they welcomed his hopeful words.

 

InuYasha spent the rest of his day debating on what he would do that night.

 

A.N. Hello: Sorry for abandoning this story. It could not be helped. My sudden disappearance was due to that my father was diagnosed with cancer. Needless to say, anydesire to continue writing wasgone. Father lost his battle against cancer and I am still dealing with the aftermath. As I review my work about this story I see that I wrote several more chaptersbut I did not finish it. I am going to try toreview what was written back then and post them respectively. Please be patient for I hardly have time (work, two kids…you know). Please remember that I have no “beta” since I completely lost touch with my hentai friends. I miss them so. It has been a difficult year and a half but life goes on.

 

Best, Q.S.
