Good thing I had this ready, or I wouldn't have been able to update so soon.

It had taken them a few days to recover, but soon, they were all active again. This was a good thing, seeing as there were so many things to do at the village.
Sango and Kirara, along with Miroku and Shippo, went to help out the villagers. This task seemed so trivial after three years of chasing Naraku, but they really wanted to avoid a brooding InuYasha.
It seemed like InuYasha was even grumpier than he usually was. Miroku of course, knew the reason why. He suffered from the same pain. The fact was, they weren't getting any. Miroku went through this ordeal on a daily basis, but he realized it must be harder on InuYasha, considering that it was mating season and all he could do was watch Kagome go about whatever she had to do.
Said woman was currently helping out Kaede with herbs and such. InuYasha was up in the Goshinbuku to try to get his mind off of Kagome. It wasn't really working, judging from his massive erection.
He felt disgusted with himself. He absolutely despised mating season. How he'd gotten through the past three years with his sanity intact was beyond him. Especially since Kagome never bothered to wear pants. It was always the short school girl skirt. 'Why the hell would they even let 'em wear that to school?' InuYasha was flashed on an innumerable basis. This fact caused him to get even harder.
He growled and left the sacred tree to find a very cold river.
Sesshomaru wasn't faring any better. It seemed like someone was out to get him because right after he got to his castle in the West, Jaken announced that Kagura and Kanna were there. 'Shit. Why now? Why not next season?' But he greeted them anyways, barely holding up his stoic expression.
It seemed that Kagura and Kanna needed a place to stay. And since they had nowhere else to go, they chose Sesshomaru's castle. They reasoned that he'd have many spare rooms, seeing as it was only him, Jaken, and Rin living there.
Sesshomaru, though uncaring as he was, could not say no. Kagura's reasoning beat his mantra of, 'I'm screwed. I'm screwed. I'm screwed.' Had he not been so preoccupied with his thoughts, he would have noticed the mischievous glint in her eyes. But alas, he saw nothing, and contemplated on how he was going to survive the spring.
That night, before he was about to go to sleep, Sesshomaru heard a knock on his door. He prayed to the gods it was Rin. Apparently, the gods weren't on his side, for it was Kagura, clad only in her sleeping yukata. Sesshomaru was sure that if he didn't have the self-control that only an eight hundred year-old youkai would have, he would've pounced on her right then and there. But much to his mating instinct's displeasure, he did.
Sesshomaru saw Kagura's lips moving and decided to focus on her words and not on the fact that she was practically naked. This time, he noticed the mischief in her eyes. He instantly became enraged. 'How dare she!? No ONE uses the tai youkai for their own amusement!' But these thoughts were completely erased when she leaned up and placed her lips over his.
InuYasha found a suitable river and was relieved to find that no one was there. He really didn't need anyone teasing him about his predicament. Especially not Miroku.
A few minutes later, he decided he was soft enough and got out of the river. Bad choice, because he saw Kagome walking to the hot springs. He thought about what she was about to do and felt himself harden. Again. 'Gah. Back into the river.'

Sorry for the semi-cliffy. I won't leave you hanging for that long! Don't forget to leave me a review. :)
