Zoology 155: Human Sexuality

Chapter 2

 

 

 

Kagome gently squeezed the little form against her body as the dawn light touched her eyes. She uncurled her face from where it was pressed against her little kit's soft hair and grimaced lightly as some of the soft strands clung to her face. She glanced down and saw the little kit's head was slightly drenched from their combined body heat, but judging by the soft snores issuing from the kit, he didn't mind. She carefully dragged her pinned arm out from underneath his little body, just as she felt her top quilt being slowly pulled up from her. She smiled at the pare of golden eyes peering at her, and nodded her head. She extricated her form, and quickly bunched the remaining blankets so the kit could sleep a little longer without missing her. Inuyasha held out her bathing utensils bag for her, and waited until she was steady on her feet before leading the way into the woods. Kagome dragged her feet, absently chasing away the wisps of her dreams and gently rubbing the sand from her eyes, as she followed her red-clad friend.

After the fivish-or-so years of spending time together, Inuyasha had long since learned that it was easier to find some water source to plant his pack's camp nearby than to endure the crankiness of his human counterpart. And Kagome had long since learned that it was smarter for her to have some sort of partner, if not escort, if she wanted to engage in the water source. Kagome may had learned some things the hard way, but being kidnapped during her bath twice had quickly made her acquiesce to Inuyasha's demand of having someone with her. It was just in the last few months it had been the hanyou who had been escorting her, at least in the mornings. Kagome chose not to dwell on the reasons behind this too much—not wanting to get her hopes up—but also because she didn't want to be reminded of the tell-tale smirk that graced the monk's face every day. </p>

Kagome began to perk up when even her more dull human senses managed to pick up the scent of water and the increase in moisture in the air. Her step quickened, and the hanyou stepped aside so that she could see where he had led her. The bubbling brook was located farther back, emerging from a swift up-cline. Lush green woods surrounded the entire area, moss growing thick on the boulders, and the foamy rushing water leading to a shallow pool at their feet. Kagome smiled happily at Inuyasha, who huffed, turned on his heel, and planted his body in his normal pseudo-lotus position.

 

 

Kagome quickly stripped off her pajamas—having figured out it was simpler to sleep with her bathing suit on in case of battle-awoken hysteria, perverted monks, and already-in-place support if they had to run—and pulled out her shampoo. She carefully dipped her right foot into the water, and promptly yelped and jumped back a foot.

 

“I don't know why I worry about you dying from disembowelment or something…your bathing ritual is going to be the death of you,” Inuyasha sighed as he heard another yelp from her jumping into the icy water.

 

“Y..y.you've been arguing..g.g that for years, and ff..f..face it! You like the way I smell!”

 

Inuyasha's shrug was lost on the girl, “Feh. Whatever.”

 

“L..llike…you think I dd..d.don't notice the way your n.n..nose wrinkles when we m…meet ot..oth...others?!”

 

“It's all in your head!”

 

“Yeah, and I..I..suppose those c..c.comments you share with Miroku late at n.n.nig..night are all in my head too!”

 

Inuyasha's face flushed red, but again the girl missed them, “I'm going to kill him.”

 

“It's not his fault,” Inuyasha heard the sound of Kagome's dripping form exiting the water, “You couldn't whisper if your life depended on it!”

 

“Says you!”

 

“Obviously!”

 

“Stupid girl!”

 

“Is that the best you've got?”

 

“SHUT UP!”

 

“You are so juvenile!”

 

“Am not!”

 

“Whatever.” Kagome quickly pulled on her change of clothes, as Inuyasha fumed on the ground. She roughly dried and brushed her hair, before wrapping up her dirty items, and clearing her throat. The hanyou leapt to his feet and spun around, his face still indignant. Kagome couldn't help but burst out laughing. Inuyasha's face immediately fell, her laughter disarming him.

 

“We can't change, can we?” She teased, catching her bag as it started to fall.

 

Inuyasha blew out a sigh, forcing his bangs to fly up a bit. He'd never admit it, but these little arguments they shared were part of the reason she was so endeared to him.

 

“Hmph.”

 

“Aww…you feel the same.” Kagome's eyes sparkled as she reached up and gently tugged on her favorite part of his anatomy. The soft ear quickly turned so the furriest side was exposed, in order that she could rub it to her heart's content. Inuyasha quickly shook her off as soon as he felt the nerves in his leg start to jump and jerk, and turned to lead the way back to camp. Kagome let her shoulders slump a little bit, but started to follow him.

 

Only to perform a complete and total Kagome-move. She let out a little `eep' as the toe of her shoe caught on a small root, and scrunched up her body as it was pitched forward—right into a pare of red clad arms.

 

“I swear, if I didn't know you better, I'd—” Inuyasha went very quiet as her cerulean blue eyes flew up to his; a mixture of embarrassment, gratitude, and plain, sweet Kagome awash in their depths.

 

“Oh, hell.” He breathed, before pushing his lips against hers.

 

Kagome immediately went still with shock before she dropped all her items, and wrapped her arms around his neck. She naturally tilted her head, letting a sigh escape her lips, allowing the hanyou to plunge into the warm recess of her mouth. Kagome felt her toes start to curl, and released a soft moan when suddenly Inuyasha jerked his head back and Kagome found herself leaning her lips towards his—not willing to relinquish their moment. He glared in the direction of their camp and a soft growl hummed from his chest.

 

“The runt is on his way.” He stated. He uncurled one of his hands from her tresses and relinquished his hold on the waist-line of her jeans, sliding his hands down to her hips, forcing her to step back from him.

 

Kagome resisted the urge to pout and bite her lip, and instead bent to pick up her fallen articles. Inuyasha immediately bent to help her as well, quickly catching one of her hands.

 

“Kagome?”

 

She paused.

 

“I…you know…I…do want…us...I do now.”

 

Kagome looked up, and saw the swirling mix of emotions in his citrine eyes. Involuntary, but so like her, she felt the soft smile emerge on her features. She gently tweaked one of his ears.

 

“I do too, Inu.”

 

They both stood, more relaxed, and turned to face their path. Shippo quickly burst into their vision, a delighted grin on his face.

 

“Kagome! Can we have pancakes? Miroku says he's in the mood for pancakes!”

 

“That would be a first,” Inuyasha huffed.

 

Kagome discreetly elbowed him in the side, earning herself a soft grunt. Shippo immediately began to rattle off all the dreams he had had the night before, and Kagome found herself playing the role of mother. She didn't even notice that Inuyasha had stopped walking with them, until they were almost upon the camp site. She turned and saw his figure staring off into the distance behind them.</p>

 

“Inuyasha?!” She called. Within a few seconds, he was beside her, looking wary.

 

“I don't know what it is, but we have to go.” He said quietly. The mirth in Kagome's face immediately vanished, and she picked up her feet—hurrying so that they could leave before whatever it was, came upon them.
