The pleasure that washes over them is ripe and sweet and perfect; Naraku smiles as Kagome wavers on her feet when he puts her down, and tries to cover her mouth to quiet her panting breath when another, less amorous couple walks by on the other side of their wall. He leans close to her ear and whispers words that set her to shuddering again:

"Lovely wife, one of these days I am going to take you on the other side of this wall – or maybe on top of it. How will you hide then?"

She smiles when she has caught her breath.

"You're such a bad man."

"Always."
