Chapter 12: In Your Arms

I heard Sango chuckle as I shoved the last of my chicken sandwich into my mouth. Looking up from my tray that had a few fries on it I gave her innocent face a scrutinizing look.

Shaking her head she asked, "Damn, Kagome- did you eat at all today?"

I thought about it for a moment, buying time so I could finish chewing the humongous chunk of food in my mouth. I shook my head, suddenly realizing that I hadn't. But it wasn't really in my intention to not do so- we had been in a hurry and as Sango stated earlier, InuYasha stopped for no one.

"Kagome," she sighed softly, looking a bit worried. "I wanted to talk to you about that…. I talked to Rin yesterday night and she said that you've gained some weird eating habits."

The skipped meals.

Well, there really wasn't any excuse for that. It was just that I'd stay up so late at night due to restlessness that I'd fall asleep in the class the next day and have to stay up and listen to the lesson I recorded at night to catch up for the day. Sometimes I just didn't feel like eating because of the awkward sleepiness I'd feel. Most times I was too sick with loneliness to even consider it.

"Don't worry Sango," I managed after swallowing the food in my mouth. I took a long drink of Sprite then continued. "It's not anorexia or anything. I'm healthy, ok?"

She sighed again looking me in the eye. "She says that when she gets back to the dorm, she finds you on the ground in silent hysterics sometimes… That you throw up when you're crying…. about not being able to see me."

I blushed, embarrassed about what she had said- about what she knew. It didn't happen everyday- the throwing up at least. Every few days it would happen when I cried; I'd feel so depressed that my body would just give up on keeping what I had eaten down. Most times, it was dry heaving because I usually didn't feel like eating prior to the breakdowns. I'd been trying to stop the breakdowns by adding more to my life, but it didn't work because every single quiet moment I had my mind was on Sango. I missed her when we were apart.

"I missed you a lot, Sango. You have to understand that," I muttered pushing around the fries in my tray.

"But that doesn't mean you shouldn't eat," she said with conviction. Her jaw was set and her eyes were locked. I sighed and looked away from her, feeling like I had failed her in some way. I suddenly felt her next to me and I couldn't help the smile that tilted my lips upwards slightly. I was glad that she decided to move to sit next to me rather than across from me- I needed the contact.

"Besides, Kagome," she whispered softly against my cheek. "I don't like twiggy girls."

I smiled at her, really feeling great for having someone as wonderful as her.

"I love you," I said softly. I felt fatigue closing in on me, but I wouldn't allow that to get the best of me. Tonight was my night with Sango and I'd be damned if I fell asleep in the car or something.

She smiled at me and kissed my cheek. Her warm hand closed around my hand- my fingers had been cold like they usually were. She laced her fingers with mine and then squeezed them lightly.

"Now that you're fed and calm, I'd like to talk a little."

"Sango, no; let's just go," I pleaded. "I don't want to talk or anything. I just-"

Her finger was on my lips silencing me.

"Please, Kagome… I know. You weren't the only one hurting from our distance. But being with you and catching up is just as important as with being with you sexually," she whispered as to not gain too much attention from the few people already staring us down in the restaurant. I bit her finger then quickly turned away and pouted, looking across the restaurant.

"I knew you wanted to eat me," she said slyly, "but I didn't think it was my finger you wanted to eat." I felt something trailing down my ribs softly and a giggle broke free from my lips.

"That's right," she said in a low seductive voice; biting her lower lip and winking at me. I was suddenly very ready to do anything with her right then and there. I felt her hand slowly trail down my leg and slip inwards towards my inner thigh. The breath I had been holding shakily escaped from my lips.

She released her lip then laughed. "Man, your face is priceless."

When I realized what she had been doing I glared at her and pouted again, looking across the restaurant feeling a bit upset. What a cruel joke to play- making me all….

"Aw, Kagome, I was just teasing you."

"I know," I said curtly, very unprepared for her playfulness.

"Well then don't get mad, Kagome," she said with a gentle softness.

"Sango, I don't think you understand just how badly I want you," I said, frustrated with her. Why was she being so playful? What was her deal?

"I'm…. sorry," she said softly, looking genuinely sorry.

"Whatever," I muttered.

"Come on Kagome. I'm just excited that you're finally here with me."

"I know," I sighed gently taking hold of her hand again.

"Good, so how's that teacher guy of yours doing?"

"Oh… him?" I shook my head, thinking of the advances a certain Organic Chemistry teacher had been throwing my way. He was cute and all, but I had Sango. I didn't need him. "He's still hitting on me."

"Man, I wish I were there with you. He'd know for certain to keep away," she said with a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry about him Sango, he's not a threat," I sighed, leaning against her. "Speaking of threats- I never knew how popular you were."

"Oh, you mean those horny rainbow obsessed chicks who come to all of our home games?"

"I guess that's them," I said chuckling at her description. "What's that all about?"

"I somehow gained the attention of a large number of the lesbian girls and they kind of made a fan club- it's actually pretty creepy in a stalker-ish kind of way. I wish they'd leave me alone; no matter how many times I tell them I am taken they still try to throw themselves at me."

Sango sighed softly.

"Sounds exciting," I chirped wryly, seeing her glance at me warily.

"Far from it Kagome…. It's very tempting in the wake of your absence."

Well, at least she was being truthful.

"Well I'm glad you overcame temptation," I said, pressing my lips against the smooth skin of her neck.

"Me too, because I don't know what I'd do to myself if I ever hurt you like that again," she mumbled, her voice low but strong.

I almost questioned her about the "again" but then I thought back to Ayame. Oh yes, the gorgeous red head that seemed- for a moment- to have taken Sango away from me. I wonder what had become of her. I never bothered Sango about it, however, because it was obviously a tender subject.

I kissed her neck again, softly.

"Let's head to the dorm," she said gently, causing my heart to pick up speed. I let my eyes lock onto her deep green eyes and they were focused on me. "You are ready, right?"

"I've been ready for months," I replied with a dry throat.

"Good, babe, because I've been prepared for months as well," she said standing and leading me outside and towards her car.

The drive to her dorm was mostly silent. I wasn't expecting any more than that- this was Sango's usual attitude.

"Uh, Kagome?" she asked, surprising me for a moment.

"Yeah?" I asked looking up into her reddening face. Please tell me she wasn't getting sick.

"I was wondering… if you'd like to try," she blushed a bright red before finishing. "If you'd like to try toys tonight?"

A hot blush envelope my face and I seemed speechless for a moment.

"Not tonight," I said causing a look of relief to wash over her face.

"Good," she said, as we turned into a parking deck. "I think we should hold off on that until we're less… needy."

I was anxious as I waited for her to grab the first aid kit from the car- I had her duffle bag slung over my shoulder. I followed her diligently up a few flights of stairs. When we got to her floor and turned down the hall I heard her heave a sigh and slow her speed.

"What's wrong?" I asked, a little concerned at her sudden sigh.

"You're about to meet my fan club," she muttered bringing the large group of girls cluttered around one of the doors to my attention.

"Oh," I said, not really sure what to say.

"Skittles!" a few of them exclaimed as we neared.

I was met with hateful glares and scrutinizing looks.

"Hey," she said pushing her way through and pulling me along. "What is it you need guys? I'm kind of busy right now," she said taking the duffle bag from me and setting it down on the floor. She gave me a worried look and I shook my head and adverted my eyes- damn me; I was getting tired.

"Who's this?" a blonde girl with striking gray-blue eyes asked.

Now I knew what she meant by tempting; nearly all of the girls standing around the hall were hot.

"This is Kagome," she said causing them all to get confused looks.

"She's a real person?!" one exclaimed.

"What?! Of course she is," Sango said rolling her eyes. "I showed you guys pictures."

"But we thought those were just doctored pictures of Kikyo and you to get us to stop perusing you," another whined.

"That's not fair," someone else whined.

"She's got really pretty eyes."

"She's totally hot, Skittles."

"Hey, so are we going to have a threesome or not?"

"Look, ladies- please respect the fact that my girlfriend traveled all the way up here to spend time with me," Sango said in a gentle voice.

"Why are you so hot Sango?" the girls whimpered.

Sango blushed, taken by surprise.

"It's true Sango," I said with a smirk. When she lowered her voice the way she just did; it drove me wild.

"Oh, she so cute Sango!"

"Why don't you share?!"

"Ladies, please…." Sango tried again. "Look, come by tomorrow or something, ok?" she unlocked her door and kicking her things in.

"Will Kagome still be here tomorrow?"

"She's supposed to leave around noon, which is why I need you guys to leave. It's getting late- my time with her is lessening."

"Aw, you really do love her that much," one mumbled once silence fell through the hallway.

"Yes, I love her more than anything else in life," she said glancing down at me with love and affection glowing deep in her eyes.

"Ok, fine then- can we watch?"

Sango looked up and pinned them all with the same hateful glare she had gotten her teammates with earlier.

"Come on girls," someone sighed. "Let's leave them alone," she said with a downtrodden voice.

All the girls sighed gently and turned away, heading opposite directions. Apparently, a few had dorms on this hall.

Sango yanked me into the dorm and shut the door behind me, pushing me roughly against it. My shoulders stung a bit but I couldn't care any less than I did. Her lips were at my neck at once.

"Finally," she breathed kissing me over and over. "I thought they'd never leave." My skin was suddenly on fire and I was damp with arousal.

I let my hands find her hips and pulled her flush against me, wrapping my arms around her soft but muscular back. Her hands were in my hair in an instant and her mouth covered mine hotly. At the feeling of the neediness of the kiss I whimpered lightly already aroused and ready for her. Her tongue was in my mouth suddenly, filling it. I sucked against it lightly before she pulled away to catch her breath. As she breathed I let my tongue play against her lower lip. She just tasted so damn good- it wasn't fair.

"Come on Kagome," she said in a low husky voice. She shrugged out of her jacket then pulled me along to her bed and we sat beside each other. Her lips were on mine at once. It blew my mind away at how wonderful her kissing still was. I felt sloppy as my lips moved at a hurried pace against her gracefully moving lips. My fingers dug into her muscular biceps.

I hadn't even realized she was taking my hoodie off until I felt her pull away from the kiss to pull it over my head.

"Why so much clothes Kagome?" she whispered hotly as she nibbled on the lobe of my ear.

"I-aah," I couldn't even finish the sentence. My god, I was so hot for her. Her lips crushed against mine again.

My shirt was off in seconds, and Sango seemed to not even have left my lips. I was a bit thankful that she slowly trailed away from my lips and down my jaw allowing me time to catch my breath. She unclasped my bra and pushed me down against the bed. I squirmed a bit to get comfortable as she swung her leg over me, straddling me. I smiled as she nibbled at my neck, whining all the while- there was no other place I'd rather be than between Sango's powerful legs. I felt my hips rise to meet her warmth and I groaned in pleasure.

My bra had been removed and Sango had been kissing around the peaks.

"S-Sango…" I breathed heavily. "Quit…quit t-teasing me," I breathed heavily. She chuckled lightly and her breath blew against my chest.

"Now who's teasing who?" she questioned lightly, licking me slowly. "Me, trying to please you? Or you laying there looking sexy?" she questioned before she took one of my pert nipples between her teeth lightly.

I moaned. Her mouth was so warm. I pulled the beanie from her head and laced my fingers within her beautiful brown locks before pulling her down tighter. Her other hand worked expertly on my other breast.

Soon enough she pulled away to have her lips meet mine again. This kiss was a gentle kiss- it made me worry just a bit. It seemed like her feverish need was gone.

I looked at her questionably after she pulled away.

"You know I love you, right?" she asked sitting up on my legs.

My eyes darted from her long ruffled hair, to her kiss swollen lips, to her reddened cheeks, then to her deep green eyes which seemed to be filled with such intensity that my fingers numbed in her hands.

"Yes," I said with a broken voice.

She smiled at me then unbuttoned my pants.

"Good," she said before she started to pull them down. My hands caught hers weakly. She gave me a worried look but then I shook my head.

"It's not fair that I'm the only one showing skin." I managed to say watching her suddenly catch a smile.

"I was wondering when you'd realize," she said before peeling her long-sleeved shirt from her body. I watched as she got up from the bed to slip her sweatpants off.

"Wait," I called out, sitting up against my arms.

She gave me a confused look and I smiled. I always thought she looked super hot without a shirt because of the way she wore her sweat pants low on her hips.

"What is it?" she asked quickly getting back into the bed with me. She crawled on top of me and laid there. Her cheek was on my chest. She was a bit heavier than she looked, but it was comfortable- she was very warm and her skin was very soft.

"Nothing Sango," I sighed contently wrapping my arms around her back. We laid there for a moment before my hands nimbly unhooked her bra. I heard her laugh a bit and she kissed my chest very lightly; right over my heart.

She releaved my upper body from her weight just a bit so she could remover her bra. Her mouth was on mine as my hands connected with her breasts. Her hardened nipples felt great against the clammy skin of my plams.

Sango had always been a silent lover, so I wasn't disappointed when she made no sound to indicate her pleasure, but her kissing did falter a bit. She wedged her leg in between mine and gently ground her hips against me.

I groaned into her mouth at the feeling, lifting my hips for more contact. My nails dug into arms as one of my legs wrapped around her as I continued to thrust against her. She held me down smiling against my mouth.

"Let me do it," she whispered. She pulled away to pull down my jeans.

I watched her lay beside me and lean over me impatiently. Her hair fell before her face so I pushed it back behind her ear. Her eyes were deep as usual.

"Kagome," she whispered kissing me on the cheek. "You are the most perfect girl I've ever met," she whispered with a finger playing against my swollen clit through the fabric of my underwear.

I breathed heavily, not even attempting to reply to what she had just said- I wouldn't have been able to find my voice.

She continued to kiss me gently, stroking me the whole while. My whimpers were growing into gentle moans and she was obviously pleased with me.

"I love that whining you do," she said sitting up. She bent over and kissed just beneath my breasts. "Oh, your skin tastes so good Kagome," she nipped me lightly.

"Sango," I breathed again lightly. Her hands were on my sides now, gently gripping every now and then.

"No, that's not it," she muttered against my skin. I felt her tongue on my belly as she kissed her way down.

"Why'd you…." I whimpered- I couldn't speak even. I wanted to ask her why she stopped touching me where I wanted her to. Of course my skin was on fire and I was over sensitive so every little movement her mouth made on my stomach was noticed greatly- but I was done with foreplay. I needed the sex.

"That's not it either," she breathed pulling at the elastic with her teeth.

I whined lightly, upset that she was still in a playful mood.

"That's right, babe."

I felt her hands tug down my underwear and my heart began beating at an unhealthy speed as she kissed down to the apex of my thighs. At the first lick, I felt my stomach tighten in anticipation and arousal. Her fingers pressed down roughly on my clit and I whined louder, obviously exciting her because she plunged her tongue in. She pressed in synchronization with her tongue and I just couldn't keep my hips still. It felt so good- I continued to buck against her face.

Her mouth was so warm against my nether lips and I fought hard to keep from coming so fast, but it had been so long- a few strokes, laps, and plunges later I had climaxed whimpering her name all the while. My hands were tight in her hair and I had pulled her head down tightly crushing her face to my labia. When my hands fell limp due to the exhaustion of the explosive orgasm she continued to suck lightly at my clit provoking the spasms until they dwindled into nothingness.

She brought her body up again, pressing our breasts together- I could feel the beating of her heart reverberate through my chest. It was at an off synchronization with my own but I knew that we had just shared something special. It was a calming rhythm at that- despite the erratic tempo.

"Kagome," she whispered.

I opened my eyes, not realizing that I had shut them.

She smiled down at me.

I tiredly lifted my hands to her cheeks and cupped her face. I brought her lips down against mine, still feeling light headed from the heavenly climax. She kissed me softly.

"I love you," I whispered, my voice coarse.

"I love you too, Kagome. I always will, no matter what," she said kissing me again.

I felt sleep tug sharply at my eyes and fell into a comfortable one with Sango's weight resting on me.


I awoke the next morning to Sango gently singing some soft tune in my ear. When she felt me stir, she stopped.

"Good morning Kagome," she whispered lightly to me. Somehow, during the night, I had ended up on top of her. I pressed my face into the warm skin of her neck.

"Good morning Sango," I whispered to her, still very tired and sluggish. Her arms were heavy on my back, but it was comfortable- it would always be comfortable in her arms.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah babe," I said with a smile. "Best sleep I've had in months… though, I've got to wonder. How did I get on top of you?"

She chuckled a little. "I thought you'd be a bit more comfortable if I wasn't crushing you," she said playing with my hair. "Besides, Kikyo had to come back and get her things for the morning, so I wanted to cover us up."

I was silent for a moment, thinking.

"I'm sorry," I whispered. "It was really selfish of me to fall asleep."

"Shh," she pressed her lips against my head. "It ok, Kagome. I don't mind. All that matters to me is that you're in my arms right now."

That didn't make me feel any better but I closed my eyes and pressed myself against her tighter.

Sango was about to say something but then she stopped. "InuYasha called a little while ago," she said after her hesitation.

"When did he say we need to leave?" I asked, feeling pain take a stab at my heart- I suddenly felt very numb all over.

"Within the next two hours," she sighed softly. "I wish you didn't have to leave."

"Me too Sango."

"Well then," she said stroking my hair. "Let's get washed up and ready."


I quickly padded down the hall to Sango's dorm in soggy flip-flops. Unfortunately, due to the distrust Sango had for her 'fan club', she decided to stand guard instead of take a shower with me. She said they would have their way to spy on our time together and they'd stoop as low as to watch us in the showers. I didn't mind, I was never fond of public showers and was in a total rush to get out of there. I pushed her dorm door open and stepped inside, shutting it behind me.

"Well, hello," a tired but melodious voice sounded, surprising me.

I whipped around to spot dark brown eyes on me. Pale skin contrasted greatly with the long black hair the girl who stood before me possessed.

"It's nice to meet you, Kikyo," I said, actually surprised to find that she actually looked like a much older- and taller- version of me.

"As you Kagome," she said letting her eyes play insightfully over my facial features. "You know I was a bit hesitant to admit that you looked like me back when I was in high school when I looked at pictures of you," she said nearing me. "But we do look alike."

"I was just thinking the same thing," I said hesitantly as she brought her hand to rest on my cheek.

"You've got gorgeous eyes," she said before dropping her hand.

I wanted to compliment her as well- she was beautiful but that sparked my defensive side. Sango was living with her; this symbol of perfection. She was gorgeous and I had to wonder.

"What did Sango say when she first met you?" my cheeks lit up a bit with heat. I really was curious of her reaction.

"Oh, don't worry Kagome," she said, tucking an errant strand of damp black hair behind my ear. "I happen to prefer men." She smiled at me- but it looked unnatural.

I backed away from her and she sighed. "I'm sorry, if I seem despondent right now," she apologized.

I opened my mouth to say something but she shook her head.

"I really shouldn't be upset with you… It's just that my feeble heart is on the path of destruction."

My god, Sango and she must really get along- they were both so poetic.

"I'm… sorry?" I didn't know how to reply.

"I've fallen in love with someone who refuses to love me back… Unrequited love- all because of you."

I was about to ask what she meant by that but then Sango entered the room, shutting the door behind her. I supposed she could feel the tension around us because of the questionable look she gave us both.

"I see you two are getting acquainted," she said hesitantly eyeing our close proximity.

"I'll be back shortly," Kikyo said softly exiting the room quickly.

Sango rolled her eyes and sighed.

"She's such a sob story," she said before throwing her towel to the ground without a care and sauntering over to her dresser. "And she holds such ridiculous grudges- I hope you weren't picking a fight with her," she mumbled.

"No Sango," I said with my eyes glued to her ass- what Kikyo said completely lost in my mind the instant Sango revealed her lovely skin. How did Sango manage to keep so evenly tanned?

"Enjoying the show Kags?"

I looked up to see her playful green eyes reflected at me through a mirror resting on the top of the dresser.

I didn't reply but dropped my towel as well before moving over to her quickly. I hugged her body to me, letting my fingers play over the perfect muscle of her abs as I reveled in the feeling of the smooth skin of her back against my breasts. Her large warms hands were on my back in an instant and slid down, cupping my cheeks. She pulled me to her back causing me to sigh throatily in her ear. I kissed her shoulder.

"I love you Kagome," she said with a sigh of content.

"I love you too," I rested my face against the smooth hard mass of her perfectly ached back.

She pulled away and turned around enveloping me in her arms. Her chin was resting on my neck. I felt a heavy tear splash off my back.

"I don't know how I can stand being away from you," her voice was thick with tears.

She was crying.

"It's ok Sango," I whispered into her neck. She kissed my shoulder and then pulled back. Her lips were on mine again.

Her tears mingled in my mouth.

A/N-

So, umm... yeah.

My first lemon. lol, it was a bit awkward... and... I dunno why, but I felt like a total pervert writing it. But yeah- tell me what you think about it; I thought it was pretty hot... Gah, pervy-ness again! D: what's happening to me? Ha ha, yeah. Well, reviews would really be appreciated (and if it's more than 5 I'll totally flip out! .) because It'll make my day.
