The Goal Oriented

Puffs of air floated about, each one with a new chill to the autumn season.

The water ran lightly against her shoulders, warming her body. Kagome laughed lightly when she felt something brush up against her leg.

Sitting down, she let her fingers splay through the water's current, amused at the feel of it filing through her hand.

Again she felt something brush up, this time on her thigh; the feeling tingled up her back.

Before she could open her mouth, a figure jumped from the water and landed across her lap.

Sighing, Kagome gave the hanyou a droll look.

"You didn't even make me flinch, Inuyasha." There was a curt swear before the hanyou dunked himself under the water and slipped behind her. Kagome rolled her eyes, not amused by her mate's attempt at making her jump.

Having been told that he sucked at scaring her, Kagome had been subjected to his tryings all afternoon. Even when she pleaded with him just to have a relaxing bath with her, he couldn't seem to lay off his goal.

Water splashed and Kagome took in a deep breath just as something took her under the water. Her arms waved about, eyes squeezing shut as not to get water in them as she kicked her way free of the hanyou's hold.

That was the last straw. Breaking the water's surface, Kagome turned to eye her hanyou only to find him not there. She spun around only and realized that she was completely alone in the hot spring.

"But – I" She growled, "Inuyasha!!"

Two doggy ears perked up like sonar readers as the hanyou plunged into the water, his arms swooping about her waist. Kagome was so flabbergasted by the sudden sight of a nude Inuyasha, which her cheeks flamed when she felt just how happy he was to see her.

Wait –

"Inuyasha, don't think for a second your going to" He silenced her with his lips as he hefted her up over her shoulder, her bare naked ass sticking out for him to lightly slap.

"Inuyasha! Put me down! Inuyasha!" The hanyou sighed and did what he was told.

Sometimes his mate truly didn't realize that what she wanted wasn't always good for her.

Kagome came up sputtering and glaring in his direction. Most likely a sit was coming but he made sure his arm was locked about her waist before she uttered the words. They plummeted down, her body tossed vertically along his as he felt himself enter her.

Then again, he could gain from her mistakes as well.

But he did however accomplish two of his goals.
