Let's Play
Chapter two

As the day wore on and the sun rose higher into the clear blue sky, the temperature didn't drop it was expected to; it only got worse where Kagome was seriously debating on going back to the future for the small miracle installed in her house that was air conditioning. But the more she thought about it, the more selfish the notion seemed to be. It wasn't fair that she was able to travel through the well for air conditioning when her friends were stuck here, suffering in the blasted heat with only river water to cool them down. Of course Inuyasha was able to go through with her – but she wanted take Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Kaede as well. The poor old woman was probably suffering the worst out of all of them because the young woman knew from experience how stifling the priestess garb could get. Kagome couldn't imagine what it was like on a day like this one.

So instead of fleeing to her own time and sticking to the air conditioner like glue, she'd instead opted for simply enjoying the coolness of her home for ten minutes – Inuyasha included – before grabbing an old bikini buried somewhere in her underwear drawer, a one piece for Sango just in case she wanted it, and some ice cold water bottle she knew everyone would appreciate before reluctantly going back to the past. Kagome'd had to practically drag Inuyasha with her; the half-demon was apparently very fond of the invention of air conditioning and had announced that he wasn't going anywhere within five feet of the wonderful machine. Three sits later and a threat to withhold his ramen did the trick and Kagome didn't miss the longing look he'd given the AC before exiting the house for the well. Kagome gave it the same look before following after him.

Now, back in Feudal Japan and reclining under the sweltering rays of the sun, Kagome decided she'd try and make the best of it by getting a good tan. She'd changed into her white bikini and then squiggled back into her khaki shorts, leaving them unclasped to reveal the matching white bottom half of the suit, but left her tank top off before heading toward the well and lying down on the warm grass, away from the curious and appreciative looks of the village men. She did so purely on Inuyasha's behalf, so he didn't prowl around growling at every single man that dared glance at her in such a state of undress. But Kagome only wanted one man's appreciative gaze on her, and judging by the way his amber eyes had darkened and gave her a look that was downright smoldering, Kagome knew that he was very appreciative. Sango had joined her somewhat later, donned in the simple one pieced she'd brought back from her time, but with her green skirt wrapped lowly about her slender hips. Kagome had a suspicion that a certain monk's absence was due to a certain half-demon most likely threatening him with bodily harm lest he even think about following her, thus leading him to a scantily clad Kagome. For that, the young woman was grateful because it was nice just laying out in the sun like this with her best friend, chatting about everything and nothing, and genuinely having a good time despite the sweat that had coated their slim bodies within the first fifteen minutes.

Sometime later, after the girls had settled into a comfortable silence, Shippou had wandered over to them and plopped himself between them, declaring his boredom to him and that he was dying of heat. So now, at the moment, Kagome was trying to think up something for him to do. Playing another game of tag wasn't even considered, not in this heat. The girl from the future barely had enough energy to move, let along chase a fast fox child around the clearing. The game had certainly worked well enough to distract the kit from the heat of the day, as well as herself. Until she had, on a whim, practically beg Inuyasha to join them and he and Kagome had played a very different game of "tag."

Thinking back to their earlier…activities, a flush that had nothing to do with the heat stole across her cheeks and a tiny, secret smile graced her features. Inuyasha had disappeared after that, but Kagome knew that he was never far from her, watching her with his golden gaze and more than once sending gooseflesh erupting on her arms and legs. And the guy knew it too, the effect he had on her. The half-demon would show up out of the blue, cast her heated looks on the sly, and accidently on purpose brush up against her, sending her heart rate skyrocketing and her blood to heat in her veins. Kagome hoped she had the same effect on him as he had on her.

"Kagomeeeeee!"

Shippou's voice abruptly brought her back to the present and Kagome blinked, shaking her head and hoping the tyke would mistake the flush on her cheeks from the heat. "Um, yes, Shippou?"

The fox child pouted and crossed his little arms over his bare chest. "I'm boooooored."

Ignoring the badly stifled snicker from the demon slayer behind him, Kagome sighed and picked him up, setting him down on her knee as she pushed his sweaty bangs back from his face. "I'm sorry, Shippou. I know you're bored, and I'm trying to think of something for you to do. Why don't you go play in the water with the other village children?" Kagome had been tempted to do so herself on more than one occasion.

Shippou wrinkled his nose. "No, it's too loud down there. And the smell isn't all that great either."

Kagome agreed. The smell of sweaty humans didn't exactly appeal to her, either.

"Why don't you go help Kaede gather herbs?" Sango suggested without bothering to open her eyes.

"She stopped a while ago because she was tired and needed to rest. I guess the heat is really getting to her," the kitsune answered.

Kagome cast a worried glance toward the village. "I hope she's alright. Older people usually don't take too well in weather like this."

"The hag's fine," Inuyasha said as he seemingly appeared out of nowhere, Miroku in tow. "I just checked on her and she's sleeping." He plopped himself next to Kagome with a grunt and sprawled out on the grass, legs and arms akimbo. He apparently hadn't bothered to put his undershirt and kimono back on.

Kagome stared down at him, admiring the view for a moment before turning her gaze to Miroku. She narrowed her gaze and didn't need to look to know that Sango was doing the same, having sat up at the sound of the half-demon's voice.

Miroku, sans his monk robes and was instead wearing a pair of purple swimming trunks Kagome had brought him, smiled serenely and held up his hands in a gesture of innocence. "Ladies," he greeted, though his eyes drifted toward Sango and his smile widened.

Sango eyed him warily as he went to seat himself next to her and the slayer noticeably scooted away from him. Miroku sighed but remained where he was. "I'm so misunderstood," he muttered under his breath and Inuyasha snorted.

"I'm still bored," Shippou whined and Inuyasha scoffed.

"Quit whinin', brat. Go find something to do and stop bothering us."

"Hey, I was here first!"

"I was born first. So there."

Kagome raised a brow at that. "That was rather childish, don't you think, Inuyasha?"

"He started it." Apparently the hanyou either didn't hear her last statement, or just didn't care.

"I don't care who started it, I'll finish it. Now shut up before I 's' you into Hell."

Inuyasha snorted his opinion of that, and muttered, "S'probably cooler there, anyhow…"

"Um, guys? Where did Sango and Miroku go?" Shippou's inquisitive voice brought both girl and hanyou's attention to him and then stared at the space where the monk and demon slayer had previously been.

"Uhhh…" Kagome said with a quizzical frown. "That's a good question, Shippou. They were there a minute ago…" The young woman looked around them, blinking in confusion when she failed to spot their two missing friends.

"Keh. They prolly got sick of your whining and left. I don't blame 'em." Inuyasha sat up and stretched, rolling his shoulders.

"Inuyasha," Kagome warned, shooting him a look.

The fox tyke stuck his tongue out at the older male and Inuyasha raised a fist threateningly.

Kagome sighed and shook her head when Shippou squeaked and hid himself in Kagome's arms. "How about another game, Shippou? I can't promise it'll take your mind off the heat, but at least it'll keep you occupied and you won't be bored anymore." It was the simplest way knew to diffuse the situation before things got too out of hand and her hanyou's infamous temper reared its ugly head.

Shippou immediately forgot about his fear of getting thumped and smiled broadly at her, hopping out of her arms and bouncing up and down in excitement. "Okay, Kagome! What game are we playing this time?"

Kagome frowned. She hadn't thought that far ahead. "Uh…how about…um…" She thought back to all of her childhood games she used to play with Souta to eliminate boredom but only one stuck out in her mind. Well, it was better than nothing. "Simon Says!"

Both hanyou and demon looked perplexed. "Who the hell is 'Simon'?" Inuyasha asked, instantly suspicious. If this Simon bastard dared to lay a hand on his Kagome…

The onyx-haired woman waved a hand in the air dismissingly. "Oh, he's nobody," Kagome said and Inuyasha relaxed. "It's just the name of the game. I guess they just needed a name that began with the same letter as 'says', so Simon was chosen in that case." She stood up. "Anyway, it's really easy. I will be Simon, and Shippou, you have to do exactly as I tell you when I say 'Simon Says.' But if I tell you to do something without me saying 'Simon Says,' then—"

"I don't like Simon," Shippou interrupted. "How about Kagome Says instead?" He looked up at her with wide emerald eyes and said woman blinked.

"Uh. Sure," Kagome shrugged and smiled. "We can use 'Kagome' in place for 'Simon' instead. As I was saying, if I don't say Si—'Kagome Says' when I tell you to do something and you do it, you lose the game then it's your turn to be Si…er…Kagome. Me?" She frowned and shook her head. She just confused herself…

Shippou frowned and looked confused. "I think I get it…"

"I don't," Inuyasha put his two cents in bluntly.

Kagome sighed and wrinkled her nose. It was hard to explain a relatively simple game to people who've never even heard of it before. "Okay. Um…I'll do a demonstration. Kagome Says…touch your nose." The priestess touched her nose. "Kagome Says…stand on one leg." She did so. "Close one eye. Now, if I close my eye without the 'Kagome Says,' then I lose. Get it now?"

Shippou grinned and nodded. "Yeah! Let's play, Kagome!"

The brown-eyed girl smiled fondly at him then looked over her shoulder at her half-demon companion. "Inuyasha? Do you want to…play?" Something flashed across her eyes as she waited for his answer.

Inuyasha didn't miss the double meaning to her question and he returned her look, his eyes darkening. "Maybe later," he said and leant back on his hands to watch.

Shivering under his stare despite the sun's warmth on her body, Kagome nodded then turned to face an excited Shippou. "Alright, Shippou. You ready?

The young kitsune bobbed his head up and down enthusiastically.

Kagome grinned. "Kagome Says…hop on one foot!" She lifted her left leg and proceeded to hop up and down. She missed how a pair of golden eyes followed the movement of her breasts bouncing with each hop, the white triangles of her "bee-kee-nee" top barely leaving anything to the imagination.

Shippou did the same with a giggle.

"Kagome Says…spin around in a circle!"

Shippou laughed as he spun around repeatedly and Kagome giggled. Well, at least he seemed to be enjoying himself.

"Now…point to your toes." The young woman bent at the waist, giving Inuyasha a nice view of her ass, and pointed to her bare feet.

Shippou stopped spinning, staggered a bit, then started to copy her but suddenly froze and snapped his gaze up at her with a grin.

Kagome returned it and laughed. "Good job, Shippou! Now Kagome Says run for your life!" Then she lunged to the fox child and he squealed in delight, missing her grasping hands by an inch then high-tailed it toward the village.

"Bet you can't catch me, Kagome!" he called to her then disappeared, laughing gaily.

Kagome was about to start after the kitsune but two strong arms wrapping around her slim waist halted her and she froze, her heart skipping a beat as a pair of lips dropped to her throat.

"Inuyasha says…" One clawed hand glided up her flat tummy, grazing his claws along her slick flesh before using them to catch the flimsy white fabric and giving it a gentle tug. Her nipples automatically hardened. "You little tease." He dropped open mouthed kisses along her neck, making his way up to her jaw line.

Shivering under his touch, Kagome leaned back into him and raised an arm to swathe around his neck, digging her fingers into his slightly damp hair. A sigh escaped her as he nibbled on her ear and trailed his hands up and down her bare sides, purposely catching his claws on the strings that fastened her bikini top to her body. Whispering his name, she turned around in his arms and gazed up at him through thick, sooty lashes, her mocha eyes flashing with barely concealed desire for the half-demon and Inuyasha's breath hitched.

"Kagome says…kiss me."

He did, and dragged the girl closer to him, pressing her flush against him and plundering her mouth with his tongue as she gasped in surprise. The soft inhalation quickly turned into a moan and Kagome reciprocated eagerly, dragging her tongue along his lips and nibbling the soft flesh with her teeth, eliciting a low rumble to vibrate within his chest. Kagome responded with a hum of appreciation in the back of her throat as Inuyasha tilted his head to gain better access to the sugary recesses of her hot mouth.

While his mouth was currently occupied, the half-demon's hands were not idle. The explored the hot body of Kagome before him, tracing the curve of her hips, smoothing up her sides and sneaking under the white flimsy white garment to cup her breasts in his hands. Inuyasha growled in approval at the feel of hard peaks against his palms and he ground his hands into them, eliciting another gasp from his bitch and causing he chest to arch into his hands wantonly. He grinned against her mouth and pulled back to allow her to catch her breath, only to dive down and suckle at her neck. His fingers pinched and tugged at her nipples, rolling them with his thumb and forefinger until he had Kagome writhing and incoherent against him, hands clutching his shoulders, head thrown back in abandon.

"Kagome says…that's not…fair," she said breathlessly and whimpered when his lips trailed a burning path down to her chest.

"Inuyasha says," he murmured, pushing the fabric up and out of his way to expose her to his burning gaze. "I don't care." His tongue darted out to taste the salty flesh of his woman and he growled in approval, dragging his hot tongue into the valley between her breasts then abruptly turning his head to capture a nipple in his mouth and suckle hard.

Kagome cried out and nearly collapsed. Inuyasha caught her around the waist and decided it probably wasn't best to do this out in the open, where Miroku, Sango or the runt could appear at any time and catch them.

Pulling back with reluctance with a growl, Inuyasha leaned up to catch her lips in one last heated kiss before taking her ass in his hands and hiking her up against him. Kagome squeaked in surprise and looked at him in confusion and in answer, he shot her a rather mischievously look before they were suddenly falling down the well as the time slip enveloped them in a blue haze of magic.

As soon as his feet hit the floor, Inuyasha had her pressed up against the well wall and was devouring her lips once again, pulling her legs to wrap around him and grinding his erection into her heat. Kagome moaned and he groaned as her core bloomed for him and her scent intensified, nearly making him dizzy with want. He didn't know how much longer he'd be able to control himself before he finally broke down and took Kagome hard and fast like he so desperately wanted to right then. Her scent was intoxicating him, making him throb with a need so fierce Inuyasha thought me might cream his pants if he didn't get inside her soon.

The thought of him sliding his cock deep within the confines of Kagome's hot core sent a wave of lust through him and he snarled, crashing his mouth down on hers, swallowing her moans of pleasure as her arms wrapped about his neck and dragged him ever closer to her. The feeling of her hot skin pressed against his was fan-fucking-tastic and he relished it, rubbing against her, her twin peaks pressing into his chest and only serving to stimulate him further.

"Kagome," Inuyasha groaned and in answer, the girl in his arms whimpered and bent her head to place hot kisses along his jaw line down to his neck. "Fuck," he hissed and squeezed his eyes shut tight, his hips snapping forward on their own. Kagome gasped and reflexively ground her weeping center into him, the tension between her legs steadily climbing until she thought that she was going to explode if he didn't do something about it soon.

"Inuyasha," she moaned and rocked desperately against him, panting heard, and a fine sheen of perspiration coating her skin. God, but she had never wanted Inuyasha as bad as she did right then. Her heart thundered wildly in her chest, her hands tugged him ever closer to her, and her chocolate eyes locked with smoldering amber ones, conveying her want to him.

Locking his gaze onto hers so she would not mistake his intention, Inuyasha ever so slowly trailed a hand down her chest, grazing his claws across her bare abdomen, and slipped a hand inside the bikini. His fingers encountered no tuft of hair and he raised an eyebrow at her. Kagome only smirked back and Inuyasha's lips kicked up into an identical smirk before he leaned forward and took her mouth with his own, licking her lips then slipping inside for a taste.

His questing fingers found hot wetness and he groaned against her mouth, bending a single clawed digit and carefully inserting it into her center. She was hot and tight and wet and he wondered what it would feel like to have his finger replaced with another part of his anatomy. His erection throbbed painfully at the thought and he slowly began pumping in and out of her slick channel, swallowing her cries of pleasure and using his thumb to massage the bundle of nerves hidden within her slick folds.

Writhing against him, bucking her hips and driving his finger deeper into her, Kagome's breath came out in sharp pants and she pulled back from her hanyou's kiss with a gasp, biting her lip hard and frantically running her hands through her lover's hair. She swallowed thickly, licking her lips, and tasting the saltiness of her flesh. Inuyasha's eyes followed the movement of her tongue and his pace increased. Her eyes widened and she curled her spine, pressing into him, rocking her hips desperately against him and seeking that release that was just out of her reach. "I-Inuyasha," she gasped, tossing her head back. "Please."

"Please what?" he asked lightly, smirking down at her and rubbing her clit slowly with his thumb as he added another finger inside of her.

"Ah! P-please! I want…" She trailed off with a gasp of pleasure as he pressed down on her clit and curled his fingers just so to find her g-spot. "Oh, my God," Kagome moaned and squeezed him with her legs, contracting her inner muscles around him. He suddenly stopped all movement with his hand and she cried out in alarm. "N-no!"

"What is it you want, Kagome?" Inuyasha murmured and peppered kisses all over her face. He ground his hardened crotch up into her supple ass and growled lowly. He didn't know how much longer he'd be able to withstand Kagome's moans and pleas for more.

Whimpering in need, panting heavily and sweat glistening on her flushed skin; Kagome stared directly into his eyes and ground her hips against his hand. Inuyasha grunted and she moaned softly before licking her lips.

"Inuyasha," she pleaded and gathered her courage. "I want you…I want you inside me. Please." She leaned forward and nibbled at his lips, rotating her hips and mewling as pleasure rocked her through and made her lightheaded.

He smirked. "Ah, ah," he chided gently and abruptly thrust another finger into her hot core. Kagome screamed and stifled it by biting onto his neck. "You didn't say…Kagome Says." Swiftly withdrawing his hand from her sopping core, Inuyasha fumbled with ties of his hakama with one hand, the other cupping her ass and keeping her where he wanted her. With a grunt he finally freed his straining erection and pushed down the shorts and bikini bottom so they were out of his way.

Kagome's mocha eyes widened and her mouth dropped. He chuckled and leaned forward to nip her nose as he gave her a subtle reminder to think fast by sliding his cock against her hot slit. He hissed at the sensation and forced himself to stay still until she answered him.

Shivering as his erection teased her opening with little thrusts, Kagome forced herself to concentrate and closed her eyes. She wanted nothing more than to just impale herself down on his stiff member and she would have down so already had it not been for the way he held her ass in his hands, preventing her from moving until he got what he wanted.

She stared into his eyes. "Kagome Says," she began in a whisper. "…fuck me now."

At her dirty demand, Inuyasha's hips instinctively snapped forward, seeking to bury himself to the hilt in her hot channel and he would have done so…

Had it not been for the well house doors to slide open at that exact moment and a woman's voice calling out, "Kagome? Are you back already, dear? I thought I heard voices…"

"Fucking goddamn son of a bitch!" Inuyasha hissed out vehemently and he glared up at the opening of the well, baring his fangs in a truly vicious snarl at the unwelcome intruder. Dammit, he'd been so fucking close!

Kagome, startled, choked on air as her eyes widened and Inuyasha thought fast before her mother looked down the well shaft and saw them in a rather compromising position. With great effort he withdrew from her and quickly set their clothing to rights before taking a dumbfounded Kagome into his arms once again and leaping out of the well. As he suspected, Mrs. Higurashi wasn't even two feet away from the well so he hadn't had enough time to jump up half way then let the time slip open around them on his way down. Then they'd be able to finish what they'd started.

Mama gasped softly in surprise when her daughter and Inuyasha suddenly jumped from the well and she watched as the half-demon set her daughter down and whisper something in Kagome's ear. Kagome blushed and absently nodded.

Then, frustrated and thoroughly pissed off, Inuyasha didn't even spare her mother a glance before he hopped down the well again and disappeared.

The elder woman stared at the well for an extra moment then turned to frown at her daughter who looked a bit dazed. "Kagome…? Is…something wrong? He seemed a little…ah, upset."

Kagome snapped out of her daze and blinked at her mom. Her flush darkened. "Oh, um, he's fine. It's-it's the heat, he doesn't like it and, um, he went to go cool off in the river." She winced; Kagome knew she wasn't very convincing, but she hoped her mother would buy it nonetheless.

Mama blinked. "Oh. I see." She shook her head. "Well, if he was that hot, he could have stayed in the house where the air conditioning is." She headed up the stairs.

Her daughter followed and winced. "Ah…something tells me the cold water will improve his mood more…"

Mrs. Higurashi shrugged and smiled. "Oh, well, to each their own, I suppose. Are you going to be staying long, Kagome?" she asked and waited for her daughter to exit the well house before sliding the doors closed once more. She headed for the house and Kagome fell into step beside her.

"Actually," Kagome began and discreetly tugged at her bikini bottoms. "I think I can go for a nice cold shower…"

Mother and daughter entered the cool confines of the house, but the cooler air did nothing to quell the fire in Kagome's loins. Inuyasha's words echoed through her mind as she headed up the stairs to the bathroom and she shivered, biting her lip. God, but she was in for it when she got back…

"This game isn't over yet, bitch. Be ready to get fucked in more ways than one."

-X-

*fans self* Hoooo boy! xD Hah, bet ya'll are ready to kill me now, ain't cha? I honestly can't say how long I'll be having them fool around before I get to any actual sex…I'm having way too much fun with them getting interrupted every time. HAW.

As always, any suggestions for what "game" they'll play next are very welcome. Somebody might have suggested Simon Says to me, but I'm not sure. I've actually had this idea for a game in my head for quite some time now. But anyway, for any of you who suggested Simon Says, this chapter is dedicated to you. ^_^ Hoped you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Until next time,
