~I don't own Inuyasha~
Last Episode:
Natsume eased out of his grip "Do not worry Sess you will be very pleased with the outcome" with that said she sashayed out of the tent hips swaying suggestively as she smoothed her sash.
Sesshoumaru clinched his jaw. "Damn that woman"
Chapter Four
~ Surprise! ~
It had been four days since that night at the hot springs and the inu tachi had spent two of said days pent up in a cave due to a vicious down pour only Inuyasha and Shippo could see in. "Ugh how can there be so much rain?" Kagome complained "And so hot on top of that" Sango chimed in.
Both girls including Shippo were sitting at the wide mouth of the cave being sprinkled by the cool rain drops as the down pour splashed over the rocky surface. Mumbling their conversation more than anything about the weather and whatever else came to mind. Both girls tried very hard to stay away from Natsume as a topic choice.
Miroku sat a few feet away enjoying the appearance of his female companion's, whether they were soaked in sweat or rain matter not to him wet clothes where deliciously transparent. He had been in bliss the less two at the sight of them soaked in fresh rain water.
Inuyasha grumbled something about blind humans and being slowed down before moving over to where Miroku sat. "Ya know they'll gonna kill ya when they find out what ya looking at" Miroku nodded his head never looking away from the vision before him.
"Yes but it will be a beautiful death worth dying" Shaking his head Inuyasha took in Kagome's wet form. He blushed as she turned to look their way her school top soaked thru enough to make out the white lace of her bra as she like to call it. He had never noticed how nicely sized her breast where before.
"Inuyasha are you catching a fever?" Kagome called as she stood to check on him, sputtering Inuyasha turned away "I ain't catching any fever" he managed as Miroku snickered into his hand. "Oh you're catching a fever" Miroku whispered low enough for the half demons ears only. Inuyasha feh'd and looked away.
Shrugging Kagome sat back down ~weirdo~ sighing she went back to chatting with Sango and petting a sleeping Shippo's tail. "Honestly I'm sick of noodles and it's only been two days" Sango too hot to move agreed solemnly. They had been living out of Kagome's bag since the rain started.
Thoughts of running in the rain passed through Kagome's head ~It would feel so nice to cool off~ "Hey Sango what do you think the guys are whispering about?"~ Snorting Sango didn't even have to look back to know what Miroku could be talking about deciding the boys where too wrapped up in their own conversation to listen in Sango sat up.
"Kagome do you think….." Sango was cut off a clash of thunder. Just great a thunderstorm was all they needed turning back; Kagome motion for Sango to follow her "Might as well start dinner" Deciding to talk at a later time Sango sigh "Ramen again"
"Inuyasha can you please go out and catch something I don't think I can stomach more noodles today?" A very awake Shippo whined. Ramen had been the only source of food, which meant it was breakfast, lunch and dinner; honestly Shippo was sick of noodles and wondered why Kagome packed so much of the stuff.
Inuyasha grumbled at the hopeful looks on everyone's face "I don't see what's wrong with Kagome's ninja food" A glare from his companions had him heading to the opening of the cave and the girls setting up to roast some meat.
"Hope there's enough for company" Kagome whipped around and came face to face with a soaked pair of double D cups "Up her sweetheart" Natsume teased her as Sesshoumaru came running into the cave without any invitation. Five shocked faces just stared too surprise by the sudden appearance of Sesshoumaru and his general to talk. Both where sopping wet, clothes clingy in all the right places and very transparent due to wardrobe color choices.
Sesshoumaru's broad chest could be seen clearly through his white haroi and kami was it a sight, flawless muscles and a toned stomach. Kagome suddenly realized that Natsume's teasing of her crush on Sesshoumaru just might be true she couldn't fathom her newly found lust it was very unnerving.
He was quite the male specimen Kagome was afraid to drop her eyes any lower than his waist line for fear of seeing a little too much ~After all the man is wearing white~ A well place glare from said male had her eyes flying to Natsume instead ~Dear kami this isn't any better~ Kagome bit her lip as her sight set on a soaked Natsume wringing her hair out on the cave floor.
Slightly bend over giving Kagome an eyeful of cleavage. She could even make out Natsume's harden nipples and the true mass of her breast.
"Well are you guys just going to stare at us or invite us to dinner?" Natsume was a bit annoyed at the silence. Yes they were quite the yummy sight to behold but jeez. "No one even invited ya in the first place" Inuyasha bellowed. Having snapped out of his daze do to his hate for his half brother and the way the females of his group were star struck at his appearance was enough to unglue his eyes from Natsume's clothes clinging to huge breast and nicely shaped hips. Hell he'd seen beautiful women before they all had.
In fact that snapped everyone for their daydreams "Now Inuyasha don't be so rude" Miroku started "The rain is heavy and we could use the help hunting in such weather" ~Even I'm sick of noodles and a new pair of breast to ogle is most welcoming~ Miroku said with a wide grin.
"We are here on business monk" Sesshoumaru cut in. "That can be discussed over dinner of course" Natsume replied paying no heed to her lord's warning growl. "Since Sesshoumaru and I are already wet we will hunt" Before anyone could reply she shot out of the cave into the thundering rain Sesshoumaru's instinct as a male kicked in and he too shot from the cave in search of food.
Miroku set about starting a fire while Inuyasha fumed in a corner "What the hell could they possibly want!" he wanted nothing to do with his half brother. "Who knows Inuyasha we'll just have to wait and see" Miroku replied, he too wondered what this unexpected meeting was about. Taking this as her only chance Sango grabbed hold of Kagome as Shippo wandered over to help Miroku with the fire.
"Kagome this can't be good. Sesshoumaru would never willing be in Inuyasha's presence." She whispered.
What she really wanted to say is ~Shit what do we do Natsume is here! ~ Kagome scratched her head it was true Sesshoumaru was not a fan of his younger brother but he was here in all his glory. "I'm not sure Sango, to be honest I'm more worried about how the boys will react to Natsume's….teasing more than Sesshoumaru right now" ~More like how'll I will act~
Kagome wasn't sure she could handle this situation. Sango straighten her back she too was worried about the demoness' ability to bring on ungodly responses the sight of her soaking wet made her just as hot as seeing sesshoumaru. "Surely she would not behave like that, Lord Sesshoumaru said they were here on business" Sango replied. Hoping that would be enough to keep her in check Sango and Kagome walked over to the fire.
Sesshoumaru reached out and grabbed a handful of Natsume's raven locks pulling back he slammed her into the nearest tree...hard. Pissed Natsume reeled around and swiped deadly claws intent on slashing him but instead cutting off a few strands of silver hair. "You are playing a very dangerous game girl; you have disrespected this Sesshoumaru for the last time"
Pressing his lips to Natsume's Sesshoumaru poured all of his pent up frustration into the kiss. Pushing her body harder into the tree with his own he lighten his hold on her tresses.
Natsume smirked ~Aw his pride is wounded~ before launching her fist forward and landing a punch to Sesshoumaru right side as she took off running again the pounding rain would make it hard for him to track her. ~Bitch! ~ Sesshoumaru beast roared as he took off after her ~ She needs to be punished we are alpha! ~
Sight was his only ally in this kind of weather and it was proving to be one of his best as he once again grabbed for Natsume hair. "Natsume this is the last…!" Sesshoumaru choked on a puff of smoke as the image of a fleeing Natsume exploded. "Shame my lord that looks nothing like me" Natsume purred in his ear, she wasn't his general due to looks and luck no she was a well qualified killing machine. Whom currently had her eyes set on him, placing a hand on his shoulder she twirled around to face him wrapping her legs around his waist in the process "My lord I am your trusted general my intentions are good I promise you". "You" He was silenced by a slender finger "Have I not taken steps towards my first promise"
Before he could answer Natsume released him and crouched low, prey was near Sesshoumaru followed suit this was not over.
Inuyasha ears perked up at the approach of Sesshoumaru and his general " Heh took you long enough I hunt ten times faster than you two" he gloated. Dropping two carcasses of meat skinned and cleaned Sesshoumaru turned to sit at the mouth of the cave "Yet you would bring back only one no doubt covered in gorge"
"Shame on you Inuyasha" Natsume turned to the girls winking at them "You dare treat your pack females as such Lord Sesshoumaru would never, in fact he is quite good at providing all a woman needs" the smile on her face screamed trouble.
"Natsume!" Kagome cried out "Would you help prepare dinner?" she asked in a hurried tone, she knew that look all too well and wasn't sure her heart could take it. Kagome smiled she know she startled the group with her outburst ~why me~ she mentally whined.
"Shippo can you make another fire pit please" they definitely had way too much meat but she wasn't going to complain as longs as it wasn't noodles. Natsume sat down next to Kagome her clothes making little squishy sounds as she plopped down "I'll season. My lord prefers his food to his likely" she pulled out a pouch and set to work.
Inuyasha opened his mouth to complain when he caught a glimpse of light outside the cave. He shot up and headed for the opening what was Kikyo doing out in this weather? "I'll be back" was all he said before running out into the rain. "Gotta shit that bad!" Natsume yelled after him.
Sesshoumaru sent her a glare but said nothing shrugging it off as him being a stick in the mud Natsume focused on her task of rubbing dry seasoning over the meat. Sango patted Kagome's back and Miroku gave her a sympathetic glance. "Don't worry Kagome" Shippo mumbled as he pet her hand.
Natsume gave no indication that she was aware of the group's sorrow towards the miko but she was listening closely and so was her lord, his ear would twitch every so often at the sound of a voice. No one said anything more as they prepared supper.
Once the meat was cooked to her liking Natsume severed a generous amount into the bowls Kagome had set out for use. Moving to sit by Sesshoumaru she handed off his food and began to eat. "Your brother is not very bright" she said between bites "To chase the dead while one living and breathing has taken an interest in him" Sesshoumaru said nothing, this was not news to him Inuyasha was always an idiot.
"It is not your business" Sesshoumaru was speaking so low she barely caught it. ~Hm must be having a conversation with his beast wander what they are talking about? ~ Natsume fell quite she preferred to have his full attention during their talks she needed to plot her next move anyway.
Looking over to where the inu tachi was she took in the group. There was the fox kit and the little cat demon whom she had never seen before, a slayer, a monk, and miko all following a brash half demon. It was such an odd little group but they looked closer than blood as they sat enjoying dinner around the fire pit.
"So much love" Sesshoumaru looked in Natsume's direction at the sound of her hushed whisper, he was sure it had slipped out without her notice because he had very really ever heard her voice so soft and non-threaten.
"Quit your staring dog" came a low growl it almost made Sesshoumaru smile she was such a hard ass all the time. "Very soon girl this Sesshoumaru will put you in your place" Natsume gave him a warily look such a velvety smooth tone could only be considered as bedroom talk. A shiver run down her spine, leaning in she purred "Only if the miko joins."
~Yes! The perfect excuse to bring this up~ in her mind Natsume had a grin that would put the Cheshire cat to shame. "You must emit my lord she has some beauty to her, much more endowed then any human you have met and smart too." This was a delicate situation Natsume had to keep him in a trance with a sultry voice and not be noticed by the others and pray to kami he did not compare the little miko to her.
~So far so good~ "She would make a lovely addition to the western court as the shikon no miko" Sesshoumaru could not ignore that the girl would, even with her affliction of being a human the court would recognize her title at the very least. "And what my dear general do you get out of this?" Sesshoumaru was no fool she wanted something but what?
"I get to be one of the first to…" Natsume voice fell short at a sudden stench in the air. Glaring into the rain she watched as two figures emerged.
Sesshoumaru held back the urge to scrunch up his nose in disgust as Inuyasha entered the cave with none other than Kikyo by his side. A grasp form Sango alerted everyone else to his return and a determined Inuyasha fixed his mouth to defend.
"Don't you even!" a furious Sango raged she stood up only to be held back by Miroku "What! We already got two uninvited guests at least I like being around Kikyo." Inuyasha didn't dare look at Kagome's face. He know she would be hurt but he couldn't leave Kikyo out in the rain not with it coming down like so.
Moving towards the fire he grabbed a good portion of meat before settling in the deepest part of the cave Kikyo in tow.
"I can't believe him" Sango was livid "How dare he bring that, that thing here" Sango ripped herself form Miroku's grip and scooted over to Kagome a look of concern on her face. "Kags are you okay?" Kagome was more embarrassed than hurt but, hurt none the less she gave Sango a reassuring smile but said nothing Natsume and Sesshoumaru were here to witness the little scene.
A furious aura exploded, everyone's head shot to the front of the cave to see an enraged Natsume being firmly held but a placid Sesshoumaru. Her eyes a blazing lavender her voice sending chills as she spoke "The dead should stay dead take that ghoul from this place before her stench chokes us all!" One of her and Kagome's many talks revolved around the stress of Inuyasha and Kikyo to say the least she know the whole story and was none to please she could not strike the dead priestess down now.
"Don't talk about Kikyo that way!" Inuyasha had jumped to feet in Kikyo's defense ready for an attack he was wary of her aura it was strong and lashing wildly against his. Natsume was in the process of freeing herself for Sesshoumaru's grip, at his outburst she nearly snarled.
"Natsume please settle down we have business to discuss remember" Kagome soft voice interjected Natsume's aura was suffocating her; a pleading look was enough for the demoness to calm down. She pouted as Sesshoumaru scolded her for her actions a glare firmly on her face.
"Lady Natsume what is this business you wish to discuss?" Miroku was curious he didn't know much about her. Natsume wanted to ignore the monk but in favor of her plan she composed herself and turned to face the group after giving Inuyasha a dirty look and Kikyo the middle finger she began.
"Naraku has waged war against the west and has plans to turn the four lands against each other" she looked to Kagome "He has also put a price on the head of every miko and monk in west in hopes of strengthen his chances of victory." Grasps filled the cave "I propose your group joins the western army as a special unit against Naraku. Your already such it couldn't hurt to have an army as back up" ~Now who would turn that offer down~
"We don't need no stinking help form you or Sesshoumaru" Inuyasha of course the idiot. The inu tachi and Sesshoumaru were not surprise you really couldn't even call it an outburst as it was expected from him. Natsume glared at him "Maybe you should take a vote" she was sure only he disagreed and at the sight of everyone's hands raised in yay except him and Kikyo he nearly turned red.
"We don't need their help!" he growled Miroku decided he'd speak up before Sesshoumaru or his general got irritated with his half demon friend. "Inuyasha clam down we are being offered much needed help in the fight against Naraku, it's not like we will be traveling with the western army. Maybe you should sleep on it, it's very late."
Inuyasha opened his mouth to argue anew when Kikyo spoke up "Inuyasha its best left for tomorrow" patting the floor beside her she fell quite again. Inuyasha made his way over to her "Are you cold?" a snort that sounded like it came from both Kagome and Sango sound off in the cave Natsume just shook her head.
Miroku walked over to the area Sango and he had slept every night since they arrived at the cave and wrapped his arms around her as she settled next to him. Despite the hot weather during the day the stormy nights where a bit chilly with the sun down Kagome usually slept next to a fully transformed Kirara and Shippo however they where long asleep and she didn't want to wake them.
"Lady Kagome you're more than welcome to snuggle with me and Sango" Miroku offered opening his arms in invitation. "That will not be necessary monk" Natsume was scoop Kagome up bridal style and gave Sesshoumaru a pointed look, it was fine for them to sleep at the opening of the cave in such weather but not Kagome. "Natsume what are you doing" she eeped this was beyond embarrassing she didn't bother to peek over Natsume's shoulder to see the expressions on her friends faces.
Sesshoumaru said nothing just gracefully moved to lean on a wall closer to the fire Natsume followed and nuzzled herself into Sesshoumaru's lap when he sat down Indian style. Laying her head on his chest and burying Kagome's into hers she hummed luring all who heard her voice to sleep including the great Sesshoumaru.
It won't do to have everyone staring at them while they slept Natsume gave a sleepy sigh she had a lot more tricks up her sleeve to come. For the inu tachi group and her lord however, first things first getting rid of that clay pot and dragging everyone to the western castle.
