I have no idea where this chapter came from! I may change the title though because I have gotten away from my original idea. There was going to be more Rin in this. There will be more Shippo and Rin but I love playing around with Kagome and Sesshomaru's interactions.
I hope you like it! Your reviews have fueled me!
Read. Rate. Review. Be jolly and enjoy beef stew and toast!
There hadn't been much interaction after Kagome returned from Sango's. In fact, Kagome would bet that he was avoiding her. It shouldn't have irritated her that much but if he didn't want to be around her then he should have let her stay with her friends! The priestess sighed. She didn't mean that. She just wished that he would stay in the same room with her longer than 30 seconds. Seriously, he was gone almost as soon as she entered. She only knew he had been there because his scent was so strong. If he was doing this to torture her it was working. She was in agony; her entire ached with need. She needed to touch him, feel his warmth, be reassured that he wasn't some perfect entity that she imagined.
Kagome growled. Grabbing her bow and arrows, the young woman stomped her way to a garden. In an angry flury she released arrow after arrow. The resounding thunk of the arrow sliding into the trunk of a tree gave her a strange satisfaction. She would like to hit him with an arrow or two. She knew he could take it. With a glare she sent her last arrow flying.
Was it too much to ask for an explanation?
She didn't know what else to do so she trudged back to her room. She left her arrows in the trunk of the tree. Let him find them and complain. I'd like to see the look on his face when I shove one up his ass. He'll have plenty of room when I take out the stick he constantly has up there, Kagome thought with a scowl. She groaned. All of this pent up anger couldn't be good for her. She needed to do something. ANYTHING!
She tried reading a book but his voice popped into her head with every word. She nearly melted as she imagined his smooth baritone gliding over the sentences. His lips moving and tongue dancing as he spoke. Kagome jolted. Shaking her head she walked towards the bathing room. She had only recently discovered the majestic room.
There was no other way to describe it other than magical. The room was large and always full of steam. There was no smell that permeated the air. The dark rocks that covered the ground were smooth and cool. The clear water pooled together below ground. It was hot and comfortable. Kagome thought it looked like a strange mix between a Roman bath and an onsen. She would never admit that she spent too much time there.
She didn't need to check for others. It was always empty. A pity, she thought quickly. She was actually quite grateful. She hated wearing the thin white bathing robe. She let her yukata fall. She had worn it to piss him off but he wasn't around so it didn't matter. She stepped into the water tentatively. The heat seeped into her skin and she sighed. She waded in slowly, allowing the water to lick at her body. The water had just reached her thighs when from behind her she heard,
"What are you doing in this Sesshomaru's private bathing room?"
Her arms flew to cover her front, an arm over her chest, the other attempting to cover her core. Her head turned over her shoulder. Her eyes were wide and her mouth had fallen open as she attempted to stutter out a reply. She wished it was because she was taken by surprise. Sure, she was naked but she was mostly covered whereas Sesshomaru was...naked.
"P-pr-private what?" She asked as her eyes roamed.
Goodness, he is perfect. Kagome's eyes wandered over smooth plains of muscled body. He looked as though he had been carved by an artist out of the finest marble. His body was slender but rippling with power. Kagome wondered that the magenta stripes did not mar but enhance his perfection. She had never seen his les before and they were just as fine as the rest of him; long and graceful but full of power. Kagome's eyes flew to the towel that covered... the important bits.
Unaware, she pivoted her upper body to observe, very openly, the demon's body. He seemed completely at ease and did not mention her apparent perusal of his body. Perhaps because he didn't want her to notice that was doing the same. Molten eyes traced the lines of her sides and the curve of her bottom, eyed each hair that strayed from her bun and seeked out any exposed skin her arm didn't manage to cover.
"Yes. This room is exclusively for my bathing."
"Well, that seems a bit excessive." She let out without thinking. Her hand flew away from her chest to cover her mouth.
Sesshomaru's eyes darted to her breast. He eyed the smooth skin and the pebbled nipple with interest. He let out a pleased pur of a growl. Kagome flushed and covered her chest once more. She squeaked. Stay strong, girl, you're mad at him! She continued to encourage herself. She did not notice as Sesshomaru waded into the water and stood behind her.
"Perhaps you would prefer to share it with this Sesshomaru. I would not mind if you did." He said as he traced a claw up her side.
She shivered and sighed. He made it so impossible to stay mad at him. He made everything so incredibly impossible. She didn't want to be mad at him. She just wanted an explanation. She scolded herself for getting lost in the tingling feeling that his presence seemed to induce.
"What I would prefer is an explanation for your absence." She said stiffly. She applauded herself on the delivery.
"How very unusual." He purred into her hair.
"Wh-what is?"
"I have never had to answer to anyone for my actions."
Kagome didn't respond. She couldn't. He had molded his front to her back and her body was on fire. This was completely unusual indeed. People couldn't feel this strongly for another... could they? She really didn't care so long as he didn't pull away.
"I don't dislike it."
Kagome turned her head and looked up at him. It was an awkward position but she needed to look at him. Her cheek was brushing against his chest. He towered over her but it wasn't domineering as it had once been. Kagome's eyes had softened and looked at her Lord in disbelief. He smiled down at her.
That didn't just... he... what? Her heart seemed to simultaneously beat erratically and stop.
"This Sesshomaru has been making preparations to mate you. You have made it quite difficult. You seem to show up exactly where I am."
"Is that such a bad thing?" She asked softly.
His features were cool again.
"Indeed. You are most enticing. It is customary to avoid the intended while closing other relations."
"Other relations? You mean... like other women you had?" She had to shove down her modern sensibilities.
"Inu's are quite sexual in their nature." He kissed the side of her neck and massaged her hips. "You will learn."
She was about to respond when Shippo burst in through the door calling out to Kagome in a panic. He had lost a crayon and Rin would not share; when he demanded she share he had bitten him quite harshly.
"Shippo, wait in the hall. I will be out in a moment." Kagome said calmly and sweetly. When the fox left the room she turned completely and looked up at the silver haired God in front of her. "You have explaining to do."
She left the water with no shame. She bent at the knee to pick up the yukata. She put it on slowly. She knew he was watching. Good, she thought. He can think about while I take care of the children. She threw a cocky look over her shoulder. He caught it as he glared at the offending fabric.
Her clothing choices are miserable but her mothering skills are impeccable and her hips will bear strong children, Sesshomaru thought as he watched her take the kit's hand and lead him away from their bathing room.
I type as I go with these chapters so I never know what is going to happen unless I get requests for certain scenarios (WHICH I WOULD TOTALLY LOVE TO GET *HINT HINT*)
I hope you enjoyed it! Review and tell me what you think and want and shtuff. I check my reviews like every five seconds and work on chapters as soon as possible. I usually wait until I get a few reviews because then I know people are reading and have had a chance to view the update. Is that silly?
ANYWAY! PUMPIN THIS BABY OUT!
