The Struggle Chapter 3.
InuYasha groaned, and dropped down. Sweat rolled down his forehead, and he felt his body quivering.
"Come on, InuYasha! Faster!" Sango cried. InuYasha pushed up, groaning loudly. He stared into Sango's eyes, and saw the sparkle there. She was really enjoying it, he saw. He dropped down again, and felt his muscles burning. He gritted his teeth as he felt himself nearing his limit, and squeezed his eyes closed as Sango encouraged him onward.
"Oh, InuYasha, just one more!"
InuYasha, in the push-up position on the floor, completed the 200th push up, and dropped onto the floor, breathing heavily. Sango, grinning wildly, kept on going, her breathing easy and level. She completed 50 more, before jumping up and laughing at the still prone InuYasha.
"Get up ya lazy fool!" She said, grabbing his hand and hauling him up. InuYasha groaned, and wondered how the hell she managed to do it all. Already Sango was doing laps around the gym. He started running, knowing that he couldn't afford to get too far behind, or he would be here all night finishing his exercise. He pushed himself harder, already a lap behind Sango.
His chest hurt like mad, and Sango was slowly overtaking him. He put on a burst of speed and rounded the fourth corner of the gym, gasping for breath. He had been doing Sango's exercises for almost 3 and a half hours now, and he couldn't take it anymore. He dropped to his knees, and stayed there, catching his breath. Almost every muscle in his body hurt, and he was exhausted. He looked up at Sango as she jogged to a stop in front of him, and she put her foot on his shoulder, pushing him down onto his back.
"Wow, InuYasha, you really suck." She said bluntly, laughing. InuYasha sighed, and looked up at her. She took her foot off him, and helped him up.
"Are we taking a break?" InuYasha asked hopefully. Sango looked at him, an expression of pity on her face.
"Nope, heading for the weight room, to work out for an hour."
"Awww..."
InuYasha walked through the door, and walked up the stairs into his room slowly, his energy spent. He flopped down onto the bed, sighing. He looked at the clock. It was 4:30. He reached over and set the alarm for 6:00, and turned over, falling asleep.
Kagome jumped onto her bed, and picked up her phone. InuYasha wasn't in science class, so she wondered in he had stayed home or something. She dialed the number for InuYasha's house, and waited. A second later, InuYasha's mother picked up. The television was clearly audible in the background.
"Hello?" InuYasha's mother asked.
"Hi," Kagome said. "It's me, Kagome. Is InuYasha home?" She asked.
InuYasha's mother turned the TV off.
"He's sleeping right now, want me to wake him?"
Kagome thought about it for a second. "Naw, just tell him I called when he gets up please." She said.
"Okay, see you, Kagome."
"Bye." Kagome hung up, and dropped her phone on the nightstand by her bed. She sighed, and stared at the ceiling. She grinned suddenly as she remembered last night.
Around 10:00 that night
Sango put the blowdryer down, and picked up the comb. She ran it through her hair, walking into her room. She picked up the sword off her bed, and sheathed it, putting it on the rack on the wall. She sat on her bed, wincing as she pulled her hair trying to get a tangle out. She turned to the other side of the bed, and pulled her laptop toward her. She opened it, and signed in to her msn.
RealestKilla : Online
HentaiRulez : Online
Sango grinned and clicked on the RealestKilla name, glad InuYasha was online.
'Hey' She typed.
'My body hurtz' was the reply. She laughed.
'Whtz up?' She asked.
'just chillin' was the quick reply.
'we should hang together 2morrow, cuz it saturday' She typed.
'shure, gimme ur # ill call ya...g2g cya'
She grinned.
'cya'
She waited until he was offline, before E-mailing him. She gave him her number, and asked if he could get a couple of his friends together.
She talked to the other guy for awhile, before yawning. She told him she was tired, and would see him later. She closed the laptop and shoved it under her bed, laying down. As she did so, a knock sounded at her door. She sighed, and got up, going down stairs and opening the door. Standing there was Ayame. Sango grinned and pulled her inside, hugging her.
"Good timing, babe, my parents aren't home." She said, leading her up to her room. She dropped onto her bed, pulling Ayame down on top of her. Ayame smiled, and kissed Sango on the lips, gently. Sango closed her eyes, and opened her mouth. Ayame took the hint, sliding her tongue deep inside Sango's mouth. Sango moaned, and returned the kiss feverably, running her hands down Ayame's back.
InuYasha finished his late supper, and threw his bowl in the sink with a loud clang. His alarm hadn't been loud enough to wake him up, and he had woken up at 8 instead of 6. He was glad that his mother worked nights. He ran up the stairs to his room and picked up his cell. He dialed Kagome's number, and waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Finally the phone was picked up, and Kagome answered breathlessly.
"Hello?" She asked. InuYasha silently wondered what she was doing that made her out of breath.
"Hey, it's me." He said.
"Hey InuYasha!!!" She said. "You should come over, have a little party and stuff." She said suggestively. InuYasha closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead.
"Um, maybe, I don't really feel too hot right now. I'll think about it." He said.
"Okay." Kagome said.
Kagome walked over to her CD player, and turned the music back up a bit. She had been dancing to the music, and didn't hear the phone ringing. She walked over to the giant mirror that hung on one of her walls, and held the phone against her shoulder as she talked, combing her hair.
InuYasha hung up, and wondered if he would regret telling Kagome that he didn't feel like coming over. He just didn't feel like he had the energy for it. He grabbed the remote control to his 5 disc CD changer and turned it on. He changed it to a diferent CD, and hit play. As the sounds of Lil Jon filled his room, he ran downstairs and opened the fridge. He grabbed a Rockstar from the fridge, and opened it. He walked back to his room, and twisted the knob on his stereo to the right.
He dropped onto his bed, and pulled his laptop toward him. He waited until it booted, before signing in, appearing offline.
Sango was offline, so he signed out.
He picked up his phone and dialed her number, having gotten her e-mail. He waited a few seconds, and was about to hang up when Sango answered.
"Hey!" InuYasha said, taking a sip of his drink. He heard Sango whispering to someone. A second later, he heard some shufling sounds.
"Hey, InuYasha, hows your body?" She asked.
InuYasha smirked. "Sorry, I'm in a relationship, babe." He said.
Sango laughed. "You know what I meant." She said. InuYasha smirked.
"Ain't got a clue what you're talking about." He replied.
"Arg! Whatever!" She said giggling. "What didja call for?" She asked.
"Dunno, just making sure ya gave me the right number." He said.
"Why wouldn't I?" She asked.
"Well, it's you we're talking about, you never know."
"Hey, shut up!" She said, motioning for Ayame to come to her. Ayame leaned against the head-board next to Sango and leaned against her, Sango putting her arm around her shoulder. Ayame put her head on Sango's chest, and started purring as Sango rubbed her arm.
InuYasha laughed as a purring sound emanated from his phone.
"What are ya doing over there?" He asked.
"Ya really wanna know?" Sango asked.
InuYasha, not catching on until it was too late, asked what she meant.
"I just finished getting intimate with Ayame." She said.
"Oh."
"Yeah."
"Then I guess this wouldn"t be a good time to ask you if you wanted to come with me to Kagome's house." InuYasha said.
Sango looked at Ayame, who was hearing the entire conversation, who nodded.
"Well, Ayame doesn't have any problems with it, so yeah, sure." She said.à
InuYasha smiled. "Great! Come to my house and we'll go over." He said.
"Alright, see ya soon." She said, hanging up.
InuYasha clicked 'End' before quickly dialing Kagome's number. As soon as she picked up, he said, "I"ll be over in about ten minutes and I'm bringing some friends. Love ya." He hung up before she had a chance to respond, and dialed his friends number.
"Hey, Miroku, get to my house ASAP. Party, man, and bring girls!" He hung up, and ran into the bathroom, downing his drink and slamming the empty glass down on the sink. He jumped into the shower, and washed himself up.
Sango knocked on InuYasha's door, and waited. A second later the door opened, revealing InuYasha dressed in a pair of blue baggy jeans that were low around his hips, hanging down and covering most of his white shoes. His shirt was a red jersey, and it too was huge on him. He had his black hat on, flat bill as always, and had it turned slightly sideways. Not all the way, but just enough to give him the appearance of a drug dealer. He had on a set of dog tags, and a gold chain.
"Whoa, whats with the wangsta get-up?" Sango asked, noting that he didn't look half bad in it.
"Oh, I'm sorry, perhaps I didn't make myself clear. This ain't no tux event, this a PARTY!!!" He said, laughing.
Sango was wearing a tight black cut off shirt with a V-neck, and a tight pair of blue jeans. She had put pink eyeliner on, and a bit of red lipstick. Ayame was dressed in a pair of black cargo pants, with a red camo pattern, opting out for a size too large, like InuYasha, and a tight black tank top, stopping inches above her belly button. The pants were low around her sexy hips, revealing a red thong.
InuYasha invited them in, and told them that he was waiting for a few more people. He got them some drinks, and had just sat down when he heard yelling outside his door.
"Come on mang, lemme in fool! Let's get this party crackin!!"
InuYasha opened the door, and a boy was standing there. As he came in, he spotted Sango sitting on the couch. He ran over to her, and she stood up, hugging him.
"Hey Miroku!!" She said.
"Hey pretty girl!" He said, letting go of her.
"Wait, Miroku, you know Sango?" InuYasha asked.
"'Course, fool. I'm aquainted with all the pretty girls around here." He said.
"Then how come, in all our 10 years of friendship, I never ever heard you mention her?"
Miroku smirked. "Probably because you weren't listening. Plus..." He looked at Sango, grinning evilly. "Plus I haven't scored with her yet!" He said, backing away.
Sango blushed, and pushed him away from her. "And ya never will, you pervert!"
Miroku straightened his purple shirt, and pulled up his pants. InuYasha noticed this, and smirked.
"Hey, I'm glad your into the style and all, and you look great in the pants, but watching you yank 'em up all the time will totally kill it. Ladies will hate ya. Wear a belt you moron." InuYasha said.
Miroku shrugged. "Hey, forgot to grab one, didn't want to be late to my best friends party."
"Didn't want to be late to see all the girls, you mean." InuYasha said, grabbing a spare one and throwing it to him.
"Meh. Same diff." He said, belting his pants up.
Suddenly the door opened, and three more people walked in.
"Bankotsu's here, the party is officially started!" The boy said, grinning.
"Please, don't flatter yourelf." Said a young girl, hitting him on the back of the head.
"Ow! Hey, watch it." He said, rubbing his head.
A second girl walked in, and the expression on her face told everyone that she wasn't sure that she should be there.
"H-hi." She said, standing close behind Bankotsu.
The first girl introduced herself to Sango and Ayame as Kagura, then stood by InuYasha.
"The shy girl is my younger sister, her name is Aeisha. She's just turned 16, so don't get too crazy with her."
Miroku grinned.
"Don't worry, I'll take real good care of her." He said, sliding over to stand beside her.
Kagura grabbed his ear and pulled him away.
"I was specifically talking about you, Miroku." She said. She turned to InuYasha, and before she could open her mouth InuYasha grinned.
"Don't worry about it, it'll be great. I'll keep an eye on her, but she's 16, she knows whats wrong and what's right."
"Okay." She said. "I'll trust you."
"Alright! Let's get to that party!" InuYasha said, moving toward the door.
"What? Thought the party was here!" Everyone said.
"Nope, friends house. Think I'd let you animals in and let ya trash my house? Not a chance!" He said, walking out.
They followed him down the street, all talking at once.
"Hope this friend of yours invites more girls over, InuYasha!" Miroku said. InuYasha laughed.
"Not likely. She doesn't know that I'm coming, much less all of you guys." Everyone laughed, and turned up the driveway after InuYasha.
He pounded on the door, and motioned for everyone to be quiet. There were a few giggles, then silence. Inside, they could hear the person moving toward the door. As soon as the door opened a crack, they all shoved their way into Kagome's house.
"PARTY!!!"
InuYasha grinned as everyone shoved by him, and he looked at a bewildered Kagome.
"Hi." He said. Kagome looked at everyone in her living room, and looked back at InuYasha.
"I thought you weren't feeling good, InuYasha." She said. InuYasha shrugged.
"I got better." He said simply. He put his arm around Kagome, and shut the door, leading her into the kitchen. Miroku was in there, snooping through the cupboards, and he grinned at Kagome.
"Hey Kagome! And if it matters at all, it's InuYasha's fault, we didn't know that the party was gonna be here till the last second." He said, grabbing a bag of chips and a 2 litre bottle of pop from the fridge, and backing out of the kitchen.
Kagome turned to InuYasha, and glared at him.
"You could have at least told me that you were bringing a lot of people over, I could have prepared!" She said. InuYasha grinned weakly.
"Sorry Kagome." He said.
Out in the living room, the widescreen TV was turned on, and the CD player was cranked. InuYasha sat on the counter and stared at Kagome as she peeked around the corner to see who had invaded her peaceful home.
"C'mere Kagome." He said quietly.
Kagome turned and saw him sitting on the counter.
She walked over.
"InuYasha! Get off the counter! Tha--" InuYasha grabbed her, and kissed her on the mouth, pulling her between his legs. Kagome moaned, and relaxed, returning the kiss. As they parted, Kagome smirked.
"You..." She said. "Are in big trouble when this is over..." She said, leaning up to him again, kissing him deeply.
"Punish me later, if you want, but for now..." He never finished his sentence, for Kagome had put a finger to his lips.
Miroku noticed that the girl, a year or two younger than the rest and unfamiliar with them, was sitting on the far couch alone, watching TV. Everyone else was on the floor in a big group, playing some game.
He excused himself, and walked over to the couch, sitting down beside her.
She promptly moved a few inches away.
Miroku sighed.
"I'm not going to hurt you." He said.
"Your the pervert my sister told me about." The girl said bluntly. Miroku laughed.
"Yeah but don't worry, I can control myself. I just wanted to know why your not having any fun?" He asked.
Aeisha looked at her feet.
"I don't really know anyone here besides my sister, and I don't feel comfortable doing the things they do." She said.
"Like what?" Miroku asked, puzzled.
"Well, for example, as soon as you came in here, you went straight for the fridge and helped yourself. I would never do that." She said.
Miroku nodded.
"Oh, I get it. Okay, tell you what. If you hang with me tonight-" The girl got wide eyed, and started to protest.
"Hear me out!" Miroku said.
"If you give me your friendly company tonight, I promise to assimilate you into the group so that you won't feel left out, and, I swear on our new friendship that I won't do anything perverted, or I'll tell InuYasha myself to hit me, okay?" Miroku asked.
The girl thought about it.
"Okay, seems fair." She said.
Miroku smiled. "Great!" He said, handing her a Pepsi that he had gotten from the fridge. She smiled at him, and took it.
Kagura broke out the cards with an evil grin.
"37 time winning streak, anyone wanna try breaking me? I'm guaranteed to go home with over a hundred bucks in my pocket by tomorrow." She said, dark red eyes flashing around the room.
Bankotsu grinned cockily.
"I raise to your challenge, starting with 20 bucks in the pot." He said, throwing the crumpled bill in the centre of the floor.
Kagura matched his bet, and dealt the cards.
"Blackjack, first to 21 wins, if you go over, your out." She said. InuYasha and Kagome came out, and got into it, each putting in 20 bucks. Just then, Miroku and Aeisha sat down, and Miroku saw the game.
"Deal me." He said, throwing in 40 bucks.
Aeisha blushed as she saw that Miroku had paid her first round, and figured that she had better do him justice. She was pretty good at blackjack anyway, so she wasn't worried.
"120 bucks up for grabs, this is getting intense, and we haven't even started yet!" Bankotsu exclaimed.
As the cards were dealt, Bankotsu grabbed his, and peered at them.
'Hmm...an Ace, and a nine. Thats either a 20, or a ten, depending on if I want the ace to be a 1 or an 11.'
Kagome stifled a sigh as she got a pair of threes.
A 4 and an 8 went to InuYasha, who had trouble adding them together.
Miroku was sitting with a Jack and a 2.
Aeisha grimaced as she looked at her cards. A Queen and a 7.
Kagura kept her face expressionless, and her thoughts were blank.
' A 2 and a 5.'
Bankotsu stayed, and set his cards down, shrugging off his black Choppers sweater. Kagura made a mental note to check with Bankotsu, and Hit. She drew a King.
Kagome Hit, drawing a 7.
InuYasha thought about it, before hitting. He grimaced as he drew a Queen. 'What do face cards equal again?'
Miroku Hit, drawing a 7.
Aeisha stayed, not wanting to bust.
Bankotsu: 20.
Kagome: 13
InuYasha: Bust (22)
Miroku: 19
Aeisha: 17
Kagura: 17
Aeisha took an elastic band out of her pocket and pulled her waist length brown hair into a pony-tail, securing it with the elastic. She glanced around the circle of people, her blue eyes flashing in the light. Bankotsu straightened his white T-shirt, and smoothed out the wrinkles, better revealing the black dragon that was emblazoned on it. He grimaced as his pants rode up too high, and stood up, pulling them back down around his hips before retaking his seat.
"Any bets before the second round begins?" She asked. Bankotsu threw in a 10 dollar bill, forcing everyone who was still in the game to put one in also, or get out of the game. The money at stake was now 170 dollars, for InuYasha finally realized that he was bust, and threw in his cards.
"Damn!" He said, moving to peek over Kagome's shoulder.
Kagura looked at Bankotsu, who Stayed.
Kagome hit, drawing a 4.
Miroku Stayed, and Aeisha took a risk. She drew a three. She let out the breath she had been holding, silently thanking God that she didn't go bust.
Kagura drew a card, looking at the card for a second, before turning over all her cards, laughing.
She had drawn a 4, making her total count 21.
"Twenty one!" She said, raking in all the money, not hearing the moans and sighs of the other players as she pocketed the green bills.
"Goddammit!" Bankotsu cried. "I'd been holding that 20 forever!"
Kagome said nothing, knowing that it was just thirty dollars. She knew she wasn't very good at the game anyway, and there were far more interesting things to do right now. She turned and kissed InuYasha, falling back onto the floor. InuYasha crawled on top of her, and pinned her down, kissing her deeply, making her moan.
Aeisha followed Miroku to the couch, where he took out his wallet and counted his remaining cash.
"I-I'm sorry for losing your money, Miroku." She said softly. Miroku looked up.
"Wha? Naw, don't worry about it." He said.
"Really?" She asked.
"Really." Miroku said. "I always expect heavy losses when your sister's around, she's a killer gambler. She's got the instinct for it. That last game was relatively easy on us, compared to when she plays poker. Then she really amps up the cash flow."
Just then, Sango came out, holding a slightly sweaty Ayame by the hand.
"What did I miss?" She asked, ignoring the looks she was getting from Bankotsu and Aeisha.
"Nothing too much, just Kagura raping us at Blackjack--again. Nothing too much out of the ordinary." InuYasha said from his place on the floor, Kagome in his arms.
"Oh really?" Sango asked, grinning. She turned to Kagura. "Want to have a poker match?" She asked. "High stakes, winner takes all. Pride is everything in this one." Sango said.
Kagura sat up straight.
"Think you can take me, girl?" She sneered, shuffling the cards. "Bring it on, and don't get too attached to your cash, cause I'm gonna be taking it." They went over to the table, and Sango grabbed a set of poker chips from the cupboard. She divided everything in half, and threw the Dealer chip at Kagura.
"Bring it." Sango said, confidently. Kagura placed the 170 dollars in the middle of the table, and Sango matched the bet.
InuYasha and the gang pulled the two couches up on either side of the table, prepared to watch the epic battle. InuYasha sat down and pulled Kagome against his shoulder, watching the two girls move the chips back and forth across the table, neither giving nor gaining an inch.
A few seconds later, Ayame sat down on the other side of InuYasha and leaned against him, purring, though her eyes were on Sango. Kagome grimaced, and looked up at InuYasha, who shrugged. Bankotsu, Miroku, and Aeisha took up the other couch, discussing between themselves the possible outcomes for the winner.
As focus drifted off the match and onto other subjects, InuYasha's watch beeped, signalling that another hour had passed. he looked at his watch out of habit, and since it was on his left wrist, it required him to lift his left arm, bringing Ayame into a sort of hug. Ayame closed her eyes and purred, putting her hand on his chest, and InuYasha saw that it was 3:00 in the morning.
Bankotsu came back from the kitchen with more cans of pop just in time to hear the first "All in." of the game.
All eyes had turned to the match. Kagura had called the all in, with only half as much chips as Sango, and Sango grinned, seeing this as an expression of fear, and a chance at redemption. Sango agreed, counting out a little more than half her chips and pushing them to the centre of the table. She laid down her cards, and grinned.
"Pair of tens, what you got Kagura?"
Kagura licked her lips, before laying down her cards.
"Three of a kind." She said shortly, her red eyes flicking to Sango's face for a second.
"Dammit!" Sango said, knowing that the late hours were getting to her. She rubbed her eyes, and focussed on the three kings across the table from her, and let it serve a reminder to think her moves out more clearly. Sango pushed her chips away, and sighed, picking up the cards, shuffling them.
"Better luck next time, babe." Kagura said, and Sango glared at her. Sango motioned to InuYasha, and he handed her his can of pop. She took a drink, and handed it back to him. She dealt the cards out, and concentrated on whittling down Kagura's stack of chips.
"Raise two." Sango said, throwing in two chips. She was flying on an empty hand, and prayed that the girl across from her couldn't see her bluff.
Apparently the late hour was affecting Kagura too, for she let it go.
"Fold." She said, missing the Flush that was in her hand and on the table. Sango sighed, and pulled all but two chips back to her side of the table. She threw the cards at Kagura, who tossed in two more chips, and shuffled the deck.
'Just a bit more. Our decks are almost even, then I can slam her.' Sango thought.
InuYasha held his breath, wondering if she could do it. Kagome mumbled something, and InuYasha looked down at her. He smiled when he saw that she was fast asleep. On the other side of him, Ayame was nodding off too, her sparkly green eyes drooping closed slowly. She would jerk awake every five minutes or so, see that Sango was still right in front of her, and fall asleep again. InuYasha watched her wake up a few more times, before motioning to Bankotsu.
He was about to holler over when he saw the sleeping girls, and got up, walking over.
"Yeah man?" He asked.
"Hey Bank, can I borrow your sweater for awhile?" He asked. Bankotsu nodded. "Sure." He said, walking over and picking it up off the floor.
"Thanks." InuYasha said.
"No problem." Bankotsu said, returning to his seat.
InuYasha laid the sweater on Ayame, and put his arm around her, rubbing her arm through the sweater. He whispered Kagome's name a few times, and she woke up.
"You can lay down on my lap if you want." He said, his arm around her shoulder.
She nodded, and layed down, her head in his lap, instead of on his shoulder. She stretched out her legs, and fell asleep again. On his other side, Ayame finally settled down, and fell asleep for good.
"All in."
This time it was Sango. Kagura jumped, and sighed. She reviewed what she had in her hand, and nodded.
Sango waited until she had laid down her cards, before laying hers down. She gave nothing away by smiling, instead letting Kagura peer over to see what her cards were. She then looked back at her own cards, and swore.
"Damn!!!" She said, pushing all her chips to Sango. Sango grinned, and looked at her cards.
A pair of tens stared up at her, and she smirked.
"Gotcha." She said, picking up the money.
They both stood, and Sango moved toward her. Kagura warily took a step back.
Sango smiled.
"Chill out." She said, offering her hand. Kagura paused, before grinning and shaking Sango's hand. Kagura pulled Sango into a hug, and put her mouth by her ear.
"I like how you played, Sango. You were good. Real good." She whispered, letting go of her.
Sango nodded.
"Likewise." She said, before turning to find Ayame cuddling with InuYasha. She grinned, and tapped Ayame awake.
"Come on, Ayame." She whispered. "Lets go in Kagome's room, she said we could use it." She helped Ayame up, and was walking away, holding onto Ayame, when she heard a whisper behind her.
"Did she really say you two could use her room? I don't remember that." Sango stopped, and looked over her shoulder to where InuYasha was watching her with one eye open. She hesitated.
"Did you and Kagome want to go up there then? Cause we could take the couch if you wanted."
InuYasha smiled at her, and waved.
"Naw, get out of here, take the room, she won't mind. And could you hit the lights as you go?" He asked.
Sango nodded. and shut off the lights as she walked down the hallway.
A few seconds later, all was quiet as Kagura made herself comfortable on the floor next to Bankotsu, Miroku and Aeisha sharing the couch.
InuYasha groaned, and woke up, finding that Kagome had already awoke, and was gone. He looked at his watch. 11:43 AM.
He looked around, and saw Bankotsu and Kagura cuddling together on the floor, fast asleep. He remembered that Sango and Ayame had gone into Kagome's room, and sat up. He could smell bacon cooking in the kitchen, and knew that Kagome was making breakfast.
'Oh shit!' InuYasha jumped up. He told Kagura that he would watch her sister, and both her and Miroku were gone out of sight. He came around the table, and saw the other couch, which had been blocked out of view by the table. He stopped, and saw Miroku sleeping on one end of the couch, and Aeisha on the other end. InuYasha grinned, and threw a blanket over Aeisha.
'Maybe Miroku isn't as perverted as he would have everyone think.'
He padded into the kitchen on bare, silent feet, and saw Kagome, her back to him, standing in front of the stove. He hugged her from behind, making her jump.
"Oh! InuYasha..." She said, putting her hand over top his. InuYasha kissed her throat.
"Mmm, G'mornin sexy, how's the food coming along?" He asked, nibbling on her ear.
Kagome giggled. "Was going fine until you came along, now if you don't let me go, it's going to burn." She said. InuYasha let go of her, and she moved to the counter, picking up the spatula and coming back to the stove, flipping the eggs and bacon.
InuYasha kissed her again on the neck, and moved away.
"I'm going to check on the crew." He said. He walked out of the kitchen and down the hallway. He climbed the stairs softly, skipping the third one, which creaked. He walked down the hall, and softly opened the door on his right.
He saw Ayame lying in bed, still sleeping, covered by just a sheet, her clothes on the floor. Sango was awake, standing beside Kagome's dresser, her back to him, also completely naked. InuYasha backed out quickly, shutting the door. He cursed as he shut it too hard, and the door made a soft 'thud' against the frame.
InuYasha quickly crept back down the hallway and was at the top of the stairs, when the door opened. Sango came out, spotting InuYasha.
"Hey." She said softly. InuYasha froze, before turning around. Sango was peeking around the door, her arm across her chest.
InuYasha held up his hands.
"I was just checking to see if you were up yet, that's all." InuYasha said. "I swear."
Sango chuckled.
"Don't worry about it, InuYasha. Chill out." Sango looked into the room. "Look," She said, turning back to InuYasha. "Wait here, we can go downstairs together."
InuYasha nodded, and sat down on the top of the stairs, wondering what Sango was all about. A few minutes later, Sango came out, wearing her clothes from yesterday. Ayame was right behind her, also in her same clothes. InuYasha blushed and couldn't help but stare as she walked by him, and down the stairs, her red thong clearly visible, her tight bum swaying from side to side.
InuYasha was tapped on the back of the head, and he looked up at Sango. She grinned down at him.
"Nice, eh?" InuYasha, not used to hearing a girl compliment another girls bum, merely nodded.
Just them, Sango slid the zipper down on her pants, and InuYasha jumped.
"What are you doing?" He asked, alarmed. Kagome was right downstairs, and could come up at any moment.
"Shush." Sango said, turning around. She slid her pants down slowly, and said, "Remember that tatoo you saw?"
InuYasha nodded, watching her tight jeans slide slowly down over her bum.
"Well, go ahead and inspect the rest of it, if you want." She said. InuYasha cleared his throat. He reached toward her slowly, hooking his fingers in her panties and sliding them dowm, revealing the tatoo. As before, InuYasha saw the butterfly with the light blue energy patterns coming off the wings, and then saw the katana peircing the butterfly. Below that, was the name 'Ayame', in a black font, outlined in light blue. InuYasha stared at it for a few seconds longer, before sliding her panties back up. Sango turned around, pulling her pants back up.
"See, that wasn't so bad, and you didn't get caught by Kagome. I don't know why you were even worried in the first place, InuYasha. It's not like you were doing anything wrong, or bad." She said, sitting on the step beside him.
"What do you mean? I just saw half your ass." InuYasha said.
"Oh really?" Sango asked in mock anger. "And I thought you were only interested in the tatoo." She said, laughing.
InuYasha blushed. "Well yeah, I was, but I couldn't help but notice that your..."
"I'm what, InuYasha?" Sango asked.
"Well, you got a nice ass, and your damn beautiful." He said.
Sango put her arm around his shoulder.
"I'll take that as a compliment from a friend, InuYasha." She said, leaning closer.
"No, as far as I'm concerned, you were only looking at a tatoo. Kagome should only get mad if something like this happened..." She said, leaning in and placing her lips on InuYasha's. InuYasha, caught by surprise, fell back against the wall, and Sango put her hands on his shoulders, pinning him there. She kissed him deeply, thrusting her tongue into his mouth, moaning softly. Eventually, InuYasha responded, kissing her back. A few seconds later, Sango pulled away.
She kept her hands on his shoulders, licking her lips.
"Good thing nothing happened, eh InuYasha?" She asked. "Kagome sure would be mad." She got up, walking down the stairs, leaving InuYasha more confused than ever.
InuYasha sat down on the couch, and ate his breakfast in silence, trying to figure out what Sango wanted, and what she was doing. Just then, Ayame sat down on the couch beside him, and InuYasha got embarrassed, wondering if Ayame could smell Sango's scent on him, or knew that she had kissed him. He ate his food in silence, not mad or angry, just confused.
A second later, Ayame moved a little closer to him, and InuYasha froze.
'What is it with these people?' He wondered. 'Damn, how do I show that I'm not mad or anything with her, I can't exactly start up a conversation, I don't even know if she can talk!'
Ayame laid out on the couch, and inched her way toward InuYasha on her belly, making him jump.
'What the hell? Submissive behavior? You only see that in wolves and other wild animals...' InuYasha thought, wondering what she wanted.
He sat perfectly still, waiting to see what she wanted. She crept closer and closer, until she stopped, her hand inches from his leg.
'The food!' InuYasha thought, seeing her eye his plate. InuYasha watched as she reached slowly toward his plate, picking up a piece of crispy bacon with a slender hand, and withdrawing quickly. She sat up, and crossed her legs, facing InuYasha. She stared at him intently as she took a bite out of the bacon, chewing it silently.
'Okay, that was weird...' He thought. He wondered if anyone had fed her anything, or if this was normal behaviour. For her, at least.
InuYasha picked up another piece, seeing that she had finished hers, and held it out to her, motioning for her to take it.
Instead of taking it with her hands, she leaned forward and took a bite out of it, chewing it softly. InuYasha supressed a laugh, and continued to hold it for her as she took bite after bite out of it. Finally, she skillfully took the last piece out of his fingers, her fangs barely grazing his skin. InuYasha lowered his hand, and watched her with fascination. No sooner had Ayame swallowed the last piece of bacon then she was after InuYasha again. She leaned forward, draping her whole upper body over him, and grabbed the hand that had handled the bacon. InuYasha watched, a small smile on his face as she began licking the flavor off his fingertips, her tongue swiping up his fingers in long slow strokes. InuYasha smirked as her soft pink tongue swirled around his fingers, her eyes closed, concentrating on the flavor of the bacon that she was getting off his fingers.
"Guess you like bacon a whole lot, eh?" He said softly as he watched her, not expecting a response.
Ayame stopped her licking, and looked InuYasha in the eye. Then she nodded. InuYasha blinked. 'Holy shit, did she just answer me?' He wondered.
Ayame, having licked InuYasha's fingers clean, dropped his hand, and curled up in his lap, her body laying on his, her head on his chest. She closed her eyes, and InuYasha stopped all movement, not wanting to disturb her. InuYasha looked down at her, and thought of her as akin to someone's cat. Wary of you, at first, but willing to take your food, and if you treated it right, and didn't scare it, it would even let you pet it, and it would feel secure enough to sleep in your lap.
InuYasha smirked as he thought of it, and decided to test out his theory. Very slowly, he moved his arm. He started stroking her, patting the top of her head, and going down her back. A few seconds later, Ayame started purring, and InuYasha kept up the slow petting.
He wondered when someone would come out of the kitchen and see that Ayame had fallen asleep on him, preferrably Sango, for Kagome might make a scene, and wake her up. Eventually too, his eyes started to droop, and he fell asleep, his breathing slowing.
Sango put her plate in the sink, and walked out into the living room, stopping as she saw InuYasha and Ayame sleeping together. She turned, and walked back into the kitchen, tapping Kagome on the shoulder.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"Do you have a camera I could use for a second?" She asked, smiling.
"Sure," Kagome said, opening the cupboard on top of the fridge. "Why?" She asked, handing the camera to Sango.
Sango grinned. "Oh, I just wanted to take some pictures of your boyfriend." She said. Kagome, curious, followed Sango out to the living room, laughing when she saw what lay before her. InuYasha, sprawled all over the couch, fast asleep, with the mute demon girl laying on his lap, her head on his chest. The only thing that she didn't like was his hand, for it was low around her waist, and on the side, almost touching her bum. She couldn't know that InuYasha's hand was there as a result of when he fell asleep, he had stopped petting her. His hand had relaxed, and had fallen there.
Sango raised the camera, and took a few pictures. Ayame, slightly awakened by the flash, mewled, turning her head a bit. She ended up with her mouth and nose in the crook of InuYasha's neck, and she cuddled up to InuYasha, still asleep. InuYasha, also asleep, automatically moved his arm, sliding around her waist more, hugging her closer.
Sango giggled, and took a few more pictures, laughing.
"Oh my God, look at this kid." She said, putting the camera down on the table and walking over to the sleeping pair. She raised the corner on InuYasha's shirt, revealing his smooth skin and gently protruding hip bones.
"And just last night he was telling Miroku to pull up his pants." She said. She grabbed the camera and took a few more pictures, getting a close up of each of their faces. For Ayame, she just got the side of her face, the rest of it buried in InuYasha's neck.
"Should we wake them now?" Kagome asked. Sango shook her head.
"Naw, leave 'em. Ayame is okay, and InuYasha is going to need all the sleep he can get, because I'm going to be teaching him a few things today and tomorrow." She said. Kagome nodded.
"Okay." She said, taking the camera.
"Come on, Sango," She said, "Let's go print off these pictures." Sango nodded, taking one last look at the sleeping pair.
"Sure." She said, following Kagome upstairs.
InuYasha woke up, and blushed as he realized that his arm was around Ayame's body, just beneath her breasts. In fact, InuYasha realized, every time Ayame took a breath, her breasts would brush against his arm. Suddenly, Ayame mewled, and InuYasha realized that she was waking up. She sat up, and InuYasha let go of her. Ayame stood, and stretched, reaching her hands toward the ceiling, before bending over and touching her toes. InuYasha couldn't help but notice again that her bum was very nice, with a great, full look to it, at the same time not being too big, but just the right size. InuYasha stood, and yawned, stretching also, as Ayame moved over a few steps. He waited to see where Ayame would go, but she just stood there, staring at him. InuYasha shrugged, and started to walk toward the stairs, hearing voices from upstairs. Ayame followed right behind him, and as they passed Miroku, Aeisha, Bankotsu and Kagura, she whimpered. They all looked at her, and Ayame hid behind InuYasha, holding onto his hand. InuYasha continued up the stairs, and Ayame held his hand all the way up. InuYasha walked into the room, and Sango and Kagome looked up as he entered. Ayame let go of his hand, and walked over to Sango, hugging her.
"Hey, did you have a good sleep?" She asked. Ayame nodded.
"Was InuYasha nice to you?" She asked, and again, a nod. Sango looked at Kagome before asking the next question.
"He didn't touch you in any bad places, did he?" Ayame shook her head, and looked at Kagome, loosely understanding that InuYasha was to Kagome, as she was to Sango.
Sango looked at InuYasha, and shrugged.
"I trust you, InuYasha, I just asked that last question for the benefit of Kagome, she was kinda nervous with you two down there alone." Sango turned to Kagome.
"Don't worry about anything, Ayame doesn't understand the concept of 'lying', so everything she said was the absolute truth." Sango said. InuYasha sat down on the bed, and hugged Kagome.
"Alright, InuYasha. Ready for your first day of sword training?" Sango asked.
InuYasha nodded.
"Yeah, bring it on." He said, ready for whatever she threw at him.
"Okay, I've rented a few hours at the local gym, because the schools closed today." She said. "Let's get ready and go."
InuYasha nodded, and motioned to the bathroom.
"Do you want the shower first?" He asked.
Sango nodded. "Please." She said.
Sango and Ayame made InuYasha turn around, and they stripped off. They wrapped towels around their bodies, and asked Kagome where the washer was.
Kagome took their clothes, and told them that they would be clean by the time they got out of the shower. InuYasha waited until Ayame and Sango had dissappeared into the bathroom, before taking off his shirt.
"Can you wash mine too, Kagome?" He asked. Kagome nodded, and took his shirt. He took his pants off, and handed them to her too. She took it all down to the basement, and put them in the washer.
InuYasha, still upstairs, listened to the shower, just down the hall. He sat on the bed, only in his boxers now, and rubbed his stomach, feeling the abdominal muscles rippling under his fingers. While waiting, he absentmindedly picked up his white shoes, and inspected them.He found a few specks of dirt on them, and grabbed a cloth from the dresser top. He wiped them off, thinking back to the days he had met Kagome, and the first few days he had hung with her, and the nervousness of asking her out.
He reminisced for a while, not hearing the water stop, or the door down the hall open. He jumped as he felt the bed shake, and heard a voice.
"Get out for a minute, InuYasha." He turned, and jumped off the bed as he saw Sango there, wrapped in a towel. She was putting a few things on the bed, and was bent over, revealing a bit of cleavage. Ayame came in behind her, a towel wrapped around her waist, an arm over her chest. She saw InuYasha, and blushed, turning around. InuYasha got up and walked out, but not before noticing her slender figure. He shut the door behind him, and waited until Kagome brought the clothes up.
A few minutes later, Kagome came up the stairs with the dry, clean clothes, and InuYasha grabbed his. He headed for the shower, grabbing a towel and a facecloth from the hall closet on the way. He closed the door behind him, and started the shower, before stripping off his boxers and socks. He jumped in, and adjusted the water temperature, so that it was a bit hotter. He grabbed a bottle of Axe shower gel, and squeezed a bit onto his facecloth, before cleaning his face. He heard the bathroom door open, and he grinned. He heard a 'click', signifying the door being locked, then heard shuffling sounds as the person out there stripped off their clothes.
A second later, the curtain was pushed aside, and Kagome stepped into the shower, smiling at InuYasha. InuYasha pulled her close to him, hugging her. She kissed him, loving the hot water that poured down on them. She felt InuYasha's hands slide down her body, sliding over her wet skin and massaging her body. He felt himself getting aroused, and a second later Kagome grinned. She put her hands on either side of InuYasha's face, and kissed him, before sliding her hands down his chest, and over his stomach. She gripped his member, and squeezed gently, making him shudder. She began to slowly move her hand back and forth along his length, swirling her fingers over the tip of his length. InuYasha groaned, and tilted his head back. Kagome licked his neck, and kissed his collar bone, continuing her ministrations. InuYasha brought his hands up and began to play with her breasts, squeezing them and rolling her hard nipples between his fingertips. Kagome began breathing a little heavier, and used her free hand to slowly rub herself. InuYasha continued to pleasure her breasts, occaisionally dipping down to lick and suck on her nipples. Kagome moaned, and inserted a finger into herself, slowly moving in and out. InuYasha waited until she removed her finger, before pulling her closer. He positioned his length just outside her entrance, and began to slowly enter, making her gasp and groan with pleasure. InuYasha put his arms around her hips and pulled her onto him, thrusting deeper into her. Kagome moaned as InuYasha began to fill her up. InuYasha paused when he was fully in, then began to slowly pull himself out. Kagome moaned, and reached down between her legs, spreading her folds. InuYasha entered her again, slightly faster this time, and began to set a slow pace. He slid his hands up her body, and kissed her, playing with her nipples with his thumbs. Pretty soon, Kagome was screaming with pleasure as InuYasha thrust into her as fast as he could, and she did her best to hold back, but the friction of him going into her that fast made her break. She orgasmed, and InuYasha only increased his speed, making her moan and gasp. Finally, InuYasha orgasmed, and he slowed, holding Kagome in his arms.
They finished washing up, and got out, helping dry each other off. As they got dressed, InuYasha hugged Kagome.
"I love you, and don't ever forget it." He said, kissing her.
"Oh, I won't, you can be sure of that." She said, opening the door and walking to her room.
