I do not own Inuyasha.

A huge thanks to psycochick32 and Patchcat for their continued help in the editing of this story. I can't thank you guys enough!

Lemon in this chapter. But since we're rated M, we should be all right. Fair warning, lol.


Deserted 9: Rush


"What are you doing, Sess?" Holding his cell phone in his hand, Sesshomaru turned toward the sound of Rin's voice, a guilty expression gracing his features.

Rin smiled. It wasn't often that Sesshomaru allowed his emotions to be so visible. She knew he felt guilty about calling his office; he was a workaholic, committed to making sure his business was running smoothly in his absence. It drove him to check in at the office often, even if they were on vacation.

"It's all right, Sess. You don't have to explain. How is everything?" Rin giggled when relief flooded his face and smiled when he reached to pull her into his embrace.

"What did I do to deserve you, woman?" Sesshomaru smiled when she returned his embrace.

"You love me."

"That I do. I'm sorry. I know we're on vacation, but I wanted to make sure everything was running smoothly while we're gone. "

"I know, Sess. It's all right. But Kagura is dependable, and she can handle everything. I'm sure she's told you this already."

Hugging her gently, Sesshomaru leaned forward to place a tender kiss to her forehead. "I'm sure she would have if I'd been able to reach her. "

Rin glanced up, confusion written clearly on her face. "She's not answering?"

Shaking his head, Sesshomaru released her. "I couldn't call out. I have full signal on my cell phone, but there's some interference on the line. Do you have your cell phone with you?"

Smiling at her husband, Rin reached to pull her cell phone from her pocket, complete with waterproof wrapping.

"What's this?" Sesshomaru gazed at the cell phone resting in her hand, then raised his attention to the laughter playing through her dark eyes. "I didn't want the seawater to damage it. You just bought it for me."

"I can buy you a new one should this one fail, Rin. You didn't need to go through the hassle. It can be replaced."

Rin leaned forward to kiss the frown from his face before saying, "I know but then you'd be working more often to pay for my carelessness and we can't have that. I like having you all to myself."

Returning Rin's kiss, Sesshomaru pulled the phone from her hand. "No. We can't have that." Flipping the phone open, Sesshomaru checked the phone's reception. Her signal was strong, as his had been.

Dialing the number to his office, he waited. When the call failed to connect, Sesshomaru flipped the top closed before handing the phone back to Rin. "Yours won't call out, either." He couldn't shake the feeling that something was interrupting the signal. Why else would the phone fail to call out when its signal strength was strong?

"Maybe it's just a fluke. We are nowhere near the Bermuda Triangle so I doubt there's anything wrong."

Sesshomaru laughed. Rin was always able to distract him from his thoughts. She was the only being capable of such a feat, other than Inuyasha, of course. He was just plain distracting.

Pulling Rin to his side, Sesshomaru turned toward the dining area. "We should get something to eat. "


The bathroom was roomy. Marble countertops framed the side by side porcelain sinks with a solid mirror running the length of the wall. The toilet sat in the corner, and the shower stall and bathtub sat on the opposite wall. A second door opposite the one she'd entered through caught her attention. This bathroom was large enough to hold two and she had a sneaking suspicion there was another bedroom on the other side of this particular door, but whose?

Knocking gently, she waited. When no one answered, she turned the knob and pushed the door open. Kagome smiled when the familiar sight of her baggage came into view. The room was decorated as Inuyasha's was, and she smiled at the realization that she still had her own room, even if she had to share the bathroom with Inuyasha.

Waking up in Inuyasha's room this morning had made her question if the room designations had been changed. She was relieved that she wouldn't have to share a room with Inuyasha. It wasn't that she didn't wantto get to know him. She did. It just seemed a bit sudden to be sharing a room with the half demon. Carrying her hair dryer and a few other necessities into the bathroom, Kagome set them down neatly beside the sink.

Gathering her clothes, she focused on her shower. The heat of the water was relaxing. Steam floated around her, and the sounds of the ocean made it easy to imagine herself tucked away in a secluded waterfall on some forgotten island. Alone. Closing her eyes, Kagome forced her thoughts away from any hanyou related activities.

Instead, she focused on the heat that streamed over her body and through her hair.

Long minutes later, Kagome turned the water off. Reaching through the shower curtain in search of a towel, she nearly screamed when a warm, masculine hand caught her wrist. Clawed fingers pushed a warm towel into her hand, and Kagome blushed.

"Inuyasha?"

"Sorry. I needed to brush my teeth, and you were in here for a long time."

His voice held a husky quality to it that brushed over her skin like a lover's caress, and she had to bite back the moan the sensation caused.

Peeking around the edge of the shower curtain, Kagome found herself wishing she hadn't. Inuyasha stood facing her, and she felt her eyes drop from his to travel down the bare expanse of his chest. Lean and sculpted, the muscles of his abdomen cut ridges beneath his flesh, one after another to form the most amazing six pack she'd ever seen. His Levis were unbuttoned to expose a tantalizing view of fine silvery hair that trailed even lower before disappearing beneath the denim of his jeans. His attraction was obvious as it strained against the fabric, and Kagome bit her bottom lip as desire surged hot through her blood.

His soft growl brought her gaze back to his face, and her blush intensified when his gaze moved up her body before catching her eyes. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't have...wow." She was mortified by how wanton she sounded, hardly recognizing the lust filled tone of her own voice.

"The feeling's mutual," he muttered, his hand clutching the edge of the sink so tight that his knuckles were beginning to turn white. His gaze dropped again, and Kagome glanced down to see what he was talking about. The shower curtain molded to her curves, the clear plastic clinging to her breasts and stomach. The pale pink of her nipples and the dark triangle at the junction of her thighs were clearly visible.

"Oh!" Scurrying backward while pushing the curtain away from her body proved dangerous; she slipped on the wet tile of the tub. She barely had the time to right herself, throwing the towel over her front, before Inuyasha plunged in after her.

"You all right?" Pressed intimately against him, Kagome could feel his voice rumble through his chest, causing a delicious sensation to race through her skin and a searing heat to boil her blood. One hand rested on the small of her back, the other on the curve of her hip. He set her on her feet in front of the door, but he didn't pull away.

"I should go," he muttered into her hair, his voice strained. "I shouldn't have come in here."

"Why?" Tipping her head to the side, Kagome sighed when his tongue ghosted over her skin, leaving goose bumps in its wake.

"Every time I touch you it gets harder to resist, harder to control." Inuyasha pulled away, but couldn't resist her when she nipped his bottom lip, her tongue following to sooth the sting she'd created.

"Then don't control it," she purred, her lips following the edge of his chin. "We're adults," she murmured, her breath cooling the trail of hot, openmouthed kisses she'd placed down his neck.

Inuyasha's head fell back, his hand stroking down her thigh. Cupping her leg at the knee, he brought it to rest on his hip. He wanted her legs around him. He wanted to be buried within her, wanted to feel her body cradling his own.

"We should get to know each other…" His intake of breath halted his sentence when she placed a gentle kiss on the mark above his heart. The towel slid from between them, and Inuyasha knew he was lost the moment her bare skin brushed against his.

Inuyasha picked her up by the backs of her thighs, and turned them toward the sink. "I want to know you like this, first," she breathed, and was rewarded with a kiss that sent her sanity spiraling out the window and her body temperature through the roof.

With a swipe of his hand, Inuyasha cleared the countertop. Setting her gently on the edge, he pushed her upper body back, his hands closing over her breasts, his lips stealing another kiss. He could feel her fumbling for his zipper, her fingers brushing heatedly up and down the front of his pants in her search. He groaned when she realized her error in searching for the closure and instead yanked the front open, the buttons giving way with enough friction to send his eyes rolling back into his head.

"We should slow down," he hissed, yanking her close once her feet had successfully pulled the Levis over his hips and down his thighs.

"Please," she murmured, her hands reaching to drag him into a kiss that shook the foundations of his soul.

"Won't last," he growled, his blood howling through his veins, his heart hammering out a rhythm that matched the racing of hers.

"Please! I don't care! Just- please!" She nearly screamed when he shot forward, burying his length deep inside her, the movement sending her spiraling into an orgasm so intense that she screamed his name.

The force of Kagome's orgasm pulled him straight into his own. Panting above her, Inuyasha's arms shook as he tried to keep from crushing her under his weight. His vision swirled in brilliant flashes of white, and his heart threatened to crack his ribs. Her giggle brought his head up, and he growled lightly at the mischievous look shining in her eyes.

"That had to be a record," she giggled raising her finger to brush the hair out of his amber eyes.

"I lasted longer than you did, wench," he smirked before lifting her up and carrying her to his room.

Leaning up to place a lingering kiss to his lips, Kagome smiled and pulled away. "I think I need to get to know you better."

"I agree," he murmured before taking her lips in a heated kiss.

Laying Kagome gently on the bed, Inuyasha climbed over her. Kissing his way from her navel to her breast, he let her pleasure roll over him, caressing past his ears in sultry tones that stirred his heart and warmed his soul.


"Where are they?" Shippo growled as he eyed the food getting cold. "I told them about breakfast half an hour ago!"

"Well, go tell them again," Koga grunted. "I've already pissed Inuyasha off today."

"Chicken?" Shippo taunted. He knew he shouldn't push the wolf, but damn it- he was hungry! If Inuyasha and Kagome weren't gonna come down for breakfast, the least they could have done was let them know!

"I wouldn't have pissed him off to begin with if you and Kirara would have been quiet last night. Ayame and I couldn't sleep through the noise," Koga growled.

"Well, if you weren't so damn determined to stick to your vow of chastity, you could have entertained yourselves!" Shippo growled, a blush staining his cheeks.

Pushing out of his chair, Koga left the table. "I'll go tell them you're starving to death, Shippo. Maybe they'll let Ayame and I have Kagome's room since they're mated!"

"You do that. And hurry! I don't think I can hold out much longer!" Shippo laughed. Shaking his head, Shippo resumed eying the platter of food. "Damn wolf's gonna get his ass kicked."

Moving through the hallway, Koga cursed. This was supposed to be a vacation- not a damn love fest!

Without knocking, Koga pushed through Inuyasha's door, the sight on the bed stopping him dead in his tracks. The heady growl escalating from Inuyasha told him that he'd indeed pissed the half demon off again.

Sprawled in a tangle of limbs, Inuyasha and Kagome were in no position to be receiving guests.

Stumbling out the door and muttering a string of apologies, Koga wondered briefly if he'd been cursed by the gods.

No sleep, no sex. Yep, he was definitely cursed. And to top it all off? Using Kagome's room was obviously NOT going to be a better solution to the sleeping arrangements.


Hey again guys! I hope the lemon was okay. I try to keep them tasteful, but to be honest, this one kind of came out of left field. I wasn't planning a lemon for a few more chapters, and I just wrote what was in my head. I know it was rushed, but after the first few chapters, I had a terrible time picturing anything happening slowly.

Please let me know what you thought. I'd love to hear from you guys again, lol.

I want to thank my editers again: InitialA, psycochick32, and Patchcat. They all helped to edit these chapters so that the story could be looked at for reinstatement at the Inuyasha Fanguild. Voting begins on Febuary 15th. Each of these wonderful women took time out of their busy lives to help me get this ready before the deadline.

And thank you for reviewing. This story has far exceeded anything I had hoped for. I owe you all for that.

Until next time,

Neisha
