Alright guys here is the next chapter. Again thank you all for leaving me your thoughts and reviews I really appreciate each and everyone of them.

Oh and just to answer your questions of how he got his haori off with his hands being chained and all, well since I kinda overlooked that little detail (too busy thinking about how Kagome was sucking on his nipple) *blushes* lets just say it was pretty torn up already and he just kinda helped tear it the rest of the way as he pulled it off or you can just use your imagination and come up with a better answer than mine!! I'm sure you guys are all pretty smart and imaginative ne?

And lets see the chains give him enough leeway & his hands aren't bound like in a tight rope or anything so he can move them around pretty well.

And I think that's it, oh and for those of you fearing Naraku is going to rape her well….lets just say I'm not too sure how dark I'm going to make this fic. For the moment I'm leaning more towards drama than horror.

So leave me your REVIEW & TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

(just don't leave me any flames :0(

Sorry ahead of time for spelling and grammar. If there is anyone out there who is interested in helping to beta-read this story -or any one of my other stories- please let me know (PM me). Though I would prefer someone who is registered as a beta reader and has no problems with lemons, oh and who is pretty quick too (like available to do it soon not like in a week.)

(guys, there are over 1,700 beta readers for the Inuyasha category alone!) But anyway whomever is interested let me know as I don't want to put all the beta-ing on one person alone for all of my stories. Thanks!

Last time…

Kagome allowed the internal debate to continue within her. She hadn't even been aware that her eyelids were growing heavy and that her head was beginning to loll forward in exhaustion. She hadn't even felt when Kiyoshi had pulled her up against his chest as he had done just hours before and wrapped her up in his warm embrace and strong arms.

The last thing she was consciously aware of was that she felt protected, she felt safe, and she felt extremely warm and content as her living nightmare ceased and the dark oblivion of sleep and nothingness soon overtook her.

Warning: This chapter has some serious lime, so if you are uncomfortable reading such things or are underage please don't read it. I wont mark it off though (I want it to remain unexpected and fun.)

Ch. 4 I want to help

Kagome awoke with a start. The clinking and rattling of chains had alarmed her and had erased the last vestiges of sleep from her mind. She tried to sit up -though her body protested heavily with pain- but soon realized that there were two arms wrapped around her form. And before she could fathom who could possibly be holding her in such an intimate way, the memories from the last several days soon bombarded her mind leaving her almost breathless with their intensity.

Suddenly she could see herself in Naraku's personal chamber as he pressed his engorged member against her body, rubbing it along her breasts and buttocks, making her almost gag with the feel of how wet and sticky it was against her. He had taken it in his hand several times and pumped it until a warm, white liquid shot out and dripped down her heated skin.

She remembered the feel of his hands cupping her sex, as he rubbed her and pinched her clit through the fabric of her panties so fiercely, she had cried out in pain.

She couldn't seem to shake herself free from the dreadful memories as she suddenly saw the spider hanyou above her raining agonizing blows to her face and head, and even the several well placed kicks he had given to her tender stomach as she had fallen from the continues beating her body had sustained.

Kagome could feel a trail of warm tears burning a pathway down her cheeks. She wanted to scream, she wanted to get away from his mouth and his fangs, she wanted to hurt him and purify him until nothing remained but black dust and fine powder, but she couldn't -she couldn't breath- she couldn't think!!

A sharp bark and an ominous growl broke through her haze. She heard someone weeping in pain and fear and her heart wanted to comfort the poor creatures hysterical cries. The priestess was unable to understand that it was she who was sobbing uncontrollably in the inuyoukai's arms until she felt him begin to lick the salty trail of tears that fell heavily from her tightly shut eyes.

"Ki -Kiyoshi, I -I…?" She asked hiccupping and unable to speak coherently between sobs.

Shhh little one, do not fear. Calm yourself. We will find a way to escape. Now hush, it will be alright. Shhh, there, there now.

How he could be so gentle with the small onna in his arms, he did not know. Instincts told him to protect the woman, to care for her, shield her from harm, and to soothe her when she needed to be comforted.

Yet he couldn't help but wonder, wasn't this how an inu was supposed to treat his mate? Not just a random female he had met no more than a week ago?

Inu-youkais were not known to be bearer's of sweet dispositions nor creatures of compassion or kindness. In fact, it was quite the opposite. They were fierce and ruthless beings, warriors who conquered and dominated, youkai who viciously defended and protected what belonged to them.

But here and now, as he held the little crying onna in his arms, he couldn't help but feel as if she belonged to him, as if she was his to shield and his to lavish his affection upon. And perhaps, when they found a way to escape, he would take her for his own and mark her as his mate. He would-

"I'm so sorry, I'm alright now, I'm better. I -I didn't mean to cry all over you, its just that wh -when I woke up I didn't even know where I was. It was like if I was relieving being -and he was-" She shuddered unable to continue though thankfully no longer crying.

Kiyoshi's simple touch, his warm embrace, made her feel stronger somehow. And she knew that now was not the time to fall into despair and give in. She needed to be resilient and clear minded, not only for herself, but for him as well. So she snuggled up against him, feeling safe and secure in his arms, and allowed the exhaustion of her body and mind to overcome her, and fell asleep once more.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The days and hours melded into one as they continued on without a defined beginning or a clear end. They ate, they slept, they found solace within each other as the time passed. Kagome could still not come up with a suitable plan of escape and was thankful she had only been pulled from the inuyoukai's presence once. Though the beating was less harsh, he had still touched her in ways she preferred not to dwell on.

The same had gone for Kiyoshi, for he too had only been pulled once and she had tenderly cleaned his wounds as he had done for her, though, she hadn't used her tongue in any way. Kiyoshi had told her -and she had guessed the rest- how Naraku had not spoken to him, and though he did have several lower level youkai beat him as times before, the only out-of-the-norm occurrence had been when a small white haired child was brought in with a strange mirror that possessed an evil aura. Kagome immediately knew it was Kanna, but couldn't guess what the purpose or reason for her involvement.

Surely she wasn't going to try to suck the powerful inu's soul into her mirror as well? The miko wondered. Kiyoshi had mentioned that she had only stood a few feet away from him, but hadn't tried to do anything to him. So perhaps she was wrong. She was still at a loss as to what Naraku could possibly want with him.

The miko proceeded to tell the inuyoukai about Naraku's incarnation Kanna, and how the emotionless child had tried to suck her soul into her mirror.

Though a sudden thought had occurred to her after her tale. Kagome couldn't help but wonder why the disgusting spider hadn't raped her. Though she was extremely glad that he hadn't, she had to ask herself why he had only touched her or forced her to wrap her hand around his hardened erection but had never penetrated her in any way. What was he waiting for? And for how long would he simply sexually molest her and not take her fully? She had to do something before he did though for it seemed that he was getting bolder and bolder and would assault her body in ways that were more disturbing than the last.

"Kiyoshi!" She suddenly called to the inu she was pressed up against.

It seemed that for some time now he would always hold her pressed up against his back and between his outstretched legs. Kagome found so much comfort being wrapped up in his arms, that she would spend most of her time just sitting with him, caressing his arms or his chest and talking to him. She was even beginning to understand a lot more of what he was telling her though a lot of time his sentences had just sounded like barks or yips or was just a mixture of both her language and his. She had thought it was a little funny that she would hear a growl then a word or two then a bark. It was like learning a whole new language. But since a lot of their time was just spent sleeping it was hard to learn any quicker.

What is it little miko?

"I have an idea. It might be umm…well a little painful -well at least for me- but we should try it anyway. I think it could work!"

Why would it be painful? What is your idea?

All Kagome understood this particular time were the words, painful and idea, but that had been enough to answer his question. "Look Naraku put something in the back of my neck to stop me from using my holy powers right? Well what if you umm found it and took it out?" She knew it sounded far more simpler than it would probably be but they had to at least attempt it.

Hn. How would I do that? Are you proposing that I use my claws to-

"Hai, I think you could use your claws just to dig around for it and then take it out of me." She cringed. It was already starting to sound rather painful but she wouldn't back out. It had to be done.

No.

"Think about it Kiyoshi, if you found it and removed it, I could use my powers to get us out of here and hopefully purify that bastard on our way out! If -if you cant find it or you cant remove it or something then we'll just stop. We have to at least try it! It might work and we can get out of here! Back to our lives Kiyoshi, back to our -our friends and family."

She swallowed wanting to steer clear of that subject. Even though she was understanding his inu language slightly better, she hadn't managed to find the courage to ask him any personal questions. She knew she was just being stupid and might even be making up things that didn't exist -like mates, and girlfriends- but for now she would prefer not to know. She liked her sleeping arrangements and the intimacy she shared with him here. Once they escaped, well then she would see what fate had in store for them.

Perhaps she did have a point. He mused. It certainly wouldn't hurt him to try, but it would hurt her. Though if he was gentle enough, then maybe they would succeed and get out of this pit.

After brief silence, Kagome finally heard him agree. Her heart was beginning to beat in her ears. Though she was a bit apprehensive about the pain, she couldn't help but feel eager to begin, perhaps today would be the day they would finally escape.

She quickly pushed herself away from him and was instantly glad that Kiyoshi hadn't been chained to the wall -for he hadn't been in some time- and though his hands were still shackled he could at least move them around freely.

Kagome sat before him and swept her hair to the side exposing her neck to him. Though she heard him growl again, somehow it didn't sound the same as when he was trying to tell her something, and she shivered involuntarily with the animalistic sound.

'Why did he growl at me like that?' She wondered.

"Al -alright, I think it might be around here." She said using her fingers to brush a spot on her neck that was almost right below her skull trying to ignore how the sound had affected her body.

She heard his manacles clinking and then felt the gentle press of his fingers to her neck. He seemed to be prodding and pushing the area feeling for anything that would provide a clue as to what could be imbedded in her skin.

When he started to cut into her neck with a single claw, Kagome had to bite into her bottom lip to keep from hissing in pain.

But when he started to cut deeper and move his razor sharp claw around, she thought she was surely going to scream and tell him to stop. Instead she fisted her hands in her lap so forcefully that she could feel her blunt nails cut into her skin. Even her lip had taken some of the pain as she had bit down so hard into it that it bled.

Kagome began to feel a warm sticky substance slowly making its way down her back and to the side of her neck. As he cut the small hole even wider Kagome whimpered and he immediately stilled his hand. Somehow, he must of touched the implant that Naraku had placed on her because the burning sensation she was feeling soon turned into an agonizing pain that left her breathless. She was beginning to see black spots dance across her vision as darkness crept around her.

The excruciating feel of the incision was soon covered over by a warm and rough appendage that could only be Kiyoshi's tongue. 'He must be sealing the wound,' she thought barely able to remain in realm of consciousness. 'But we were so close, he should have just continued and-' The throbbing of the wound soon made her loose her focus but with the healing saliva taking effect, she was ultimately glad he had stopped cutting into her.

"Gomen, I -I should have been stronger. I think you might have touched the implant because the pain suddenly became unbearable. I'm -I'm sorry Kiyoshi, I should have-"

The soft soothing rumbles in his chest soon interrupted her self-reproach and she immediately knew he was trying to calm her and ease her worries. As soon as he finished going over the wound with his tongue, and she felt only a slight sting left behind, she burrowed into his chest once more and allowed the frustrations of their failure to remain in the back of her mind until further examination. Obviously this wasn't going to work and they had to come up with another plan.

Though as she laid her face upon his naked chest, she was instantly aware of the heat that radiated off his large frame and she had to wonder if every time he licked her he felt…well…he felt turned on or something. He shifted slightly and her suspicions were soon confirmed. Kagome couldn't help but feel the large bulge that hadn't been there before, but was now suddenly pressed up against her hip.

She licked her lips and couldn't help but wonder if it was her blood that affected him somehow or if it was just the intimate act itself. He had never acted as if licking her had affected him in any way, but perhaps it had and she had never noticed. Er, well there was that one time where he had cleaned her face and even she had succumbed to the feel of it and had suckled his nipple.

Should she -would she be able to help him somehow? He had helped her without asking for anything many times before and now perhaps she should -she should try to do something for him in return.

But before she did, she had to know for certain if he was mated or not. "Kiyoshi…do you have -I mean is there someone who-" Darn it why was it so hard to ask? She wondered in frustration trying to gather what little courage she had left and started again. "Kiyoshi are you mated? Or you know, is there someone waiting for you, you know like a mate-to-be or something?" She finally managed to ask quickly hoping it would be the 'or something.'

He was quite surprised with her question wondering what had gotten her to ask. Perhaps she had felt his painful erection pushing up against her? Though why she would want to know if he was mated because of that was not something he understood.

He tried to think back to his life, the faces of two females came into his thoughts and even though they seemed familiar to him somehow, he was barely able to bring them to mind, their features too dim and unclear. No emotions were stirred with the vague recollection, or any other details surfaced to mind, so he was rather uncertain if he was mated. Though the females he had recalled had to have been close to him somehow, he knew that neither one could have been his mates. For if they had been, he would have immediately felt some natural instincts to protect, once the fuzzy images of their faces came forth in his memory, or at the very least felt some sort of affection for them as most inu males did for their chosen female. Yet there was nothing. Not even his beast recalled claiming or marking any such female.

So perhaps…..

'No, I don't believe I am mated.' He finally said with a shake of his head to emphasize his answer.

Kagome was about to give up hope. For she thought that either he didn't remember, didn't want to tell her, or just didn't even know. But as soon as he shook his head in the negative, she let out a small breath she hadn't even known she was holding.

Why do you ask little miko?

Though she didn't understand the complete question she did identify the why, and as always, that was enough.

"Er, umm well, I was rather curios since umm I was kinda thinking of-" She paused unsure of what how she would even be able to voice her concern. "Well because I wanted to help you."

He raised a beautiful silver eyebrow, and though he was blind, the miko could still see the way he was starring at her, almost as if he was trying to understand how she was going to help him. And since he seemed to be obviously confused, she decided she would show him instead.

"I wanted to help you with this." She said allowing her hand to settle lightly over the bulge in his hakama's.

The other silver eyebrow shot up to join its partner and disappear within the fringes of his bangs, and his stunning amber eyes widened visibly.

When he said or did nothing Kagome began to feel like an idiot for even suggesting such a thing. Maybe he didn't want her help or for her to even touch him in such a way. Maybe he thought that she was crazy for even suggesting such a thing while they were being kept prisoners.

She began to remove her hand in mortification, only to be stopped as his larger hand suddenly pressed down upon hers pushing it even further into his raging erection. And as she touched the evidence of his need and felt how large he was, what she was thinking of doing suddenly hit her full force.

'How the heck was I planning on helping him again?' She asked herself. 'Maybe I didn't think this trough, maybe I should have just-'

As he pressed her hand into the hardened bulge in his hakama's once again, then roughly pulled her up to straddle him, she thought that perhaps changing her mind now was not going to go well for her.

'Why can't I just stop being a frightened virgin for once and help him?' She thought in frustration nearly growling with her skittishness. 'Its not like we're going to do it or something, I'm just going to help him relieve the pressure that's all.'

She instantly realized the position she was in and decided that perhaps he misunderstood. She didn't want to loose her virginity this way, she had just wanted to help in other ways.

Kagome immediately tried to wiggle out of the compromising position and instead kneeled besides his sitting form.

"Umm actually, that's -that's not exactly what I meant. I didn't want to…you know…uhh help in that particular way. I meant something more along the lines of -of…." How was she going to say this out loud without choking in embarrassment?

Was she not offering her body to him then? He wondered not knowing how he could have possibly misunderstood her words and actions. She was obviously extremely nervous and though he also smelt her slight arousal, he was confused by what she was offering him.

"…helping you with your, er, 'problem' but not having it actually inside of me there, more like -like in my hand or in my mouth." She could feel the heat in her face and was glad that he was unable to see the strange self-conscious and awkward faces she was making.

Kagome saw him blink several times, only to look straight at her once again. 'What could he be thinking?' She wondered as he didn't seem inclined to answer her at the moment and voice his thoughts.

Is she suggesting what I-

"Look, we don't have to do anything, I'm sorry I even brought it up….just forget I evmmph."

The masculine lips that suddenly pressed into hers, cut off her dismissal reply completely. She didn't think he was going to kiss her out of the blue but it had been better this way. At least she was not quite expecting it and therefore wouldn't have been as nervous if she had been.

He deepened the kiss, tilting his head to one side. As he passed his tongue over the seem of her lips, she parted them without hesitation allowing him to push his slightly rough appendage in to mate with hers. Kagome couldn't think, the taste of him was exquisite, so masculine and rather sweet with a hint of spiciness. It was like nothing she had ever tasted. Hm….perhaps he was a poisonous youkai and she had never even bothered to ask. At the moment, she didn't seem to care as she sucked on his tongue causing him to groan into the kiss.

Kagome knew she needed to be bold and self-assured if she was going to do what she had suggested to help him. Though kneeling beside him was not the greatest position possible, she began to allow her hands to roam the expanse of his chest. She felt his pectorals twitch under her slender fingers as she skimmed them over his nipples. Oh, how she wanted to taste him again. Though her hands had paused on his upper chest, she continued to caress him, to roam every hard contour and curve of his muscle hard chest. She glided over his washboard stomach noticing the way his body responded to her as his belly quivered beneath her touch. He was the specimen of male perfection. Her hands began to go lower, and though she wasn't quite sure if she was feeling bold enough to touch him there again, she did have to break the kiss and take deep breaths of much needed oxygen before she could continue.

Though not intending on wasting so much time on such a trivial thing as breathing, Kagome quickly brought her lips back to his. She wouldn't allow herself to stop feeling his body, his lips, his hands as they gripped her hair and neck, for fear that her mind, her virginal conscience would kick in, screaming and fighting her body's sensations, demanding she think this through rationally and lucidly before she committed an act she would regret. Though she was not one hundred percent sure of what she was doing, she was certain she wanted to at least attempt it, conscience be damned.

As they continued to kiss and he allowed his tongue to battle against hers, flicking in out of her mouth repetitively as if he was grinding into her, the gesticulation of the intimate act between a male and a female, was clearly present with his actions. She began to feel his shackled hands running down her body together as their was no option for them to go their separate ways. His claws skimmed over her breasts and she felt her nipples harden almost painfully, the sensation causing her to moan into his mouth.

The miko began to allow her hands to skim over his hairless and creamy white chest, her short blunt nails raking over his skin until she reached the waistband of his hakama. She felt a thin trail of soft hair leading down to an unknown and unfamiliar region making her curiosity spike and a desire to explore bloom within her.

Yet she knew she was not quite ready to release her chaste conceptions just yet and instead of plunging her hand into his hakama's and touching him as she was sure he would want her to, she pressed her hand onto his obvious arousal instead.

The priestess began to rub and press down upon it through the thickness of his clothes, trying to gather her boldness to simply do what she had planned all along when she suddenly felt the haori upon her frame thrown wide open to reveal her bosom to his wondering hands and mouth.

It was apparent that he had turned to face her some time ago, although she had not even felt him do so. He broke their kiss and ran his mouth along the column of her throat, nipping on sucking on her sensitive skin, skimming her flesh with his fangs, then continued down to pay homage to her over-sensitized breasts.

"Ki -Kiyoshi…" She moaned as he was suckling and licking each nipple in turn tugging on it and nipping it with a fang until she moaned. A sudden overwhelming need pooled between her thighs, making her want to rub her legs together to ease the discomfort. She had automatically held on to his head as she arched her back wanting to increase the consuming sensation and feel of his fangs as they scraped over the taught peak of each globe, making a shiver run down her spine as he took them further into his mouth.

Unable to stand the overcoming feel of his tongue and lips on her chest and neck, Kagome latched on to the rim of one ear, tracing the shell with her tongue and sucking on the tip repeatedly until a deep vibrating purr could be heard rumbling from the inu's chest.

Emboldened by his reaction and as he began to nibble and suck on her neck once again while using his thumb and forefinger to roll her nipple, she allowed her hand to skim his taut and firm stomach once again and then pulled on the ties to his hakama until they loosened. The miko pushed through the soft hair that covered his groin until she grabbed onto his pulsing erection. Kagome's eyes widened imperceptibly as she grabbed a hold of his shaft.

'It's -it's so large and thick.' She wondered in awe and newfound curiosity. 'I wonder how he tastes?'

Since there was only one way to answer that questioned, the miko gently pushed Kiyoshi away from her neck with one hand while never letting go of his stiffened erection, his beautiful eyes registering confusion as she did so.

Then much to her delight, she heard a simultaneous growl and groan emanate from his chest and throat as she leaned forward on her hands and knees and swept her tongue out over the tip of his cock. The glistening drops on the slit seemed to be calling her, enticing her into licking them off and tasting his essence. As she did so, her eyes widened as she suddenly took note of how the hair around his groin was so white and soft, it looked -it looked almost as if it were fur. And he had -he had one slightly jagged violet stripe on each side of his penis running down at an angle almost to the very tip. Oh kami!

Kagome gulped. She knew she was inexperienced, but she had once seen an erotic video that her friend Yumi had put on at one of her slumber parties, and she had heard her friends talk about these sorts of things, so she wasn't really ignorant of how it worked. She just hoped he liked what she was doing to him.

Take all of me into your mouth my little miko…

He must have too since he grabbed a hold of her hair, being careful not to let his chains strike her on the head, then growled out some sort of guttural words. Though she was unable to understand it -she was not exactly fluent yet- she did understand the subtle pressure he was placing on her head almost as if he were pushing her down to take him more fully instead of swirling her tongue around his engorged head and the length of his hardened shaft.

Though Kagome continued to trace around the tip then the whole length of him with her tongue, she decided to take all of him into her warm, moist cavern for it seemed that's what he wanted her to do. Placing her mouth over the head of his member, she began to suck him, her head bobbing up and down with the process. She moistened it with her saliva sucking and licking while pumping her hand up and down in time with the motion of her head on the part of him that wouldn't fit into her mouth.

She felt him grab another fist-full of her hair as his rumbling growls increased in volume making the miko bolder in her actions. Her unoccupied hand cupped his sac and squeezed it and rolled it until he growled even louder.

She rubbed her cheek against the side of his hardened length taking a moment to flick her tongue out and trace the wonderful violet stripes that wrapped around him. His breathing was labored and Kagome suddenly felt empowered, confident enough to be able to make this incredible youkai loose his breath and his reasoning with just a touch, a stroke. She placed his length back in her mouth and sucked with more pressure allowing her teeth to scrape lightly across his sensitive skin. The miko began to feel his erection harden even more as Kiyoshi began to buck his hips and pump his manhood into her mouth, and though he seemed to be attempting to be gentle, Kagome began to feel like she was going to choke. It was much, much to big for her to take even half of it into her mouth. She briefly wondered if all males were this size, yet quickly discarded the idea. It had to be a youkai thing, she mused, she just couldn't picture others with this girth.

The priestess began to feel an odd sensation as her hand held his sac as well as his cock and she began to suck with more force and speed, almost as if she were trying to draw out his essence, his very being. She could only guess that he was about to cum and with one last suck, Kiyoshi began to spill his seed into her mouth with a sudden guttural growl. Though Kagome was curios as to what it would taste like, she wasn't prepared for how much of it there was. She tried to swallow the thick, bittersweet substance, though as he continued to jerk his hips up with the force of his climax, much of it began to spill over the sides of her mouth.

As soon as he was finished, the miko wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, and lifted her head to see a countenance of wonder upon his face, though his eyes were shut peacefully.

The miko was rather startled as his hand suddenly shot out, grabbing her arm and pressing his lips firmly against hers. She gasped in surprise and he wasted no time in sweeping his tongue against hers once more. Kagome couldn't escape the shiver that went down her back as his kiss softened and slowed. Then he kissed her cheek and temple in an affectionate manner, he closed the haori she wore, pulled up and retied his hakama, and pulled her up against him as he resettled back against the cold wall.

Kagome really couldn't explain how she felt at the moment. Too her embarrassment, she felt rather smug and satisfied with herself; and though her body had yearned for more, she felt she had finally done something that was utterly unlike anything, anyone, had expected from her. While she knew that her friends thought of her as some sweet, docile, 'cant do anything on her own,' and much too naïve and innocent to know anything girl, she couldn't help but smile with the knowledge that perhaps she wasn't as predictable as they all thought she would be.

The miko could just imagine their shocked faces, especially Inuyasha's, as she revealed how she had helped a fellow inmate -and one of the most beautiful species of male she had ever seen- with only her mouth. Although of course she would never reveal such a thing to them, she could at least appreciate their shocked faces within her own mind.

Miko?

"Hmm?" she asked rather sleepily and content.

Arigatou.

"It was certainly my pleasure Kiyoshi and though….though I've never done something like that before I hope i-it was ok."

Hn. He had never experienced anything quite like this before. He of course had experienced the pleasure of a females mouth, at least he was certain he had, his memories were still quite fuzzy, but he was certain he had never felt anything that could possibly compare to the way the little onna made him feel. He was now convinced that he would not be able to part with her once they had left this prison behind. He would take her as his mate, and he would be the only male she experienced this with.

It was not only the physical pleasure of what she had just done to him, but the way her innocence and purity had wrapped around her while she did it. Although, he had never suggested such a thing nor even mentioned the fact that he needed any type of assistance, she had sensed his discomfort and sought to ease it.

The onna was strong, intelligent, -he was certain she was beautiful-, and very giving and unswerving in her loyalty to her friends and their cause. Hm…though he still wondered why he had never heard of this Shikon no Tama, this jewel of great power.

"Kiyoshi!" She suddenly exclaimed, after nearly falling asleep, abruptly bringing him out of his reverie.

"I have another idea!! What if -what if we have sex!!"

He, he, he, rather cruel I know. It just had to be done. Gomen. And if you're wondering how her suggestion is going to solve anything, you have to read the next chapter and find out!
