In penance for pulling another vanishing act-sorry guys, work comes first -_- I give you... A sex scene! That's right ladies and gentlemen, there is sex in this chapter, if you have too delicate of a countenance to handle it then avert your eyes!

Chapter 14

"What the-?" Inuyasha righted himself in a flash and was in Kagome's face before she could blink. "Grasshopper?"

"It's super simple, just jump to the roof of the house, people can't do that here." She said through her fixed smile.

Inuyasha gave her a very pointed glare. "You owe me big time."

Without further ado he easily jumped on top of the two story house, perched for a moment and then freefell backwards, twisting at the last second to land on his feet.

The kids erupted into applause, the princess was looking at him like he was the love child of Justin Timberlake and the Jonas brothers and Kagome's friends were cheering with the rest.

Eri was still smiling and clapping when she shouted, "Hey Kagome, what do you do in the act?"

A very pointy wicked grin spread across Inuyasha's face as he looked at his not-fiancé. "Yeah Kagome, what do you do?"

She shrugged nonchalantly. "Oh you know, A little bit of this and a little bit of that."

"You're not getting out of it that easily." Yuka made 'go on' gestures at her friend. "Show us!"

Scenting blood in the water the children started chanting "Show us! Show us!" While Kagome tried to think of a way out of the situation.

It occurred to her that she was going to be spending the majority of her time in the feudal era and therefore it didn't really matter what she did. And the scenario she had set up for herself as a circus worker meant that she could do something abnormal and get away with it.

She smiled and nodded to her avid audience, gathered her skirts in one hand and jumped to the roof of the first story before jumping to the top of the house. After all, she was in good shape, but she didn't have demon blood in her.

Without warning she let herself fall off the house.

Everyone on the ground screamed and Inuyasha, who hadn't been paying attention, suddenly realized that the woman he cared about was about to flatten him.

"Eep." He got out before swinging her around and setting her back on her feet, golden eyes alight with the panic which didn't have time to set in before. "That was a little reckless don't you think?"

"I knew you'd catch me so I decided to take the easy way down." She smiled at him and patted his head. "Good boy!"

"This all seems very familiar…" Inuyasha continued glaring at Kagome until Eri cleared her throat.

"Oh!" Ayumi clapped excitedly. "I KNEW I'd seen you before! You were in the play!"

"Huh?" Kagome and Inuyasha looked at her.

"The cultural festival! Was all that special effects stuff just part of your act?"

Kagome remembered that terrible day, it was one of the most stressful of her life. She had accidently brought dehydrated demons to school thinking that they were just normal food and they had had to clean up the disaster. Hojou was playing a prince to her princess and Inuyasha had broken through the roof in a fury. Luckily before he had decapitated the boy a melon demon had broken through the stage and he had slain it instead—destroying half the stage with his wind scar.

"Yes…" Kagome hung her head. "I wanted you guys to see part of the act so badly."

Three pairs of arms encircled her. "We've always been proud of you Kagome!" Ayumi exclaimed. "And everyone thought the play was the best part of the festival!"

"Thanks guys!" Kagome hugged them back. "So what did you think?"

"Of the act?" Eri asked then continued with Kagome's nod. "Seems a little dangerous... but I was impressed."

"Can we go somewhere else?" Inuyasha was tugging frantically on Kagome's sleeve like a frightened child. "Let's go now ok?"

Kagome glanced around and saw the princess with a hanyou fetish advancing with purpose. Inuyasha looked like he would rather fight off a demon horde then deal with the pre-teen in pink satin.

"Hey we were going to go out dancing, you should come with us!" Ayumi exclaimed.

"Well kids aren't allowed in most clubs or bars…" Kagome began thoughtfully.

"That's fine! Great! I'd rather see a hundred weapons than be here!" Inuyasha started toward the stairs, only to be intercepted by the princess.

With sparkles trailing from her eyes she threw herself bodily at him, which he countered by jumping to the top of the shrine and then down the stairs in two bounds.

"Wow… His stage name is really accurate. He is just like a grasshopper." Eri commented. "Come to think of it I don't think you ever told us his real name…"

Kagome smiled at the back of the casually posed half-demon at the base of the steps clearly pretending he hadn't just run from a human girl in a princess costume.

"Inuyasha, his name is Inuyasha."

"Kagome, don't you think Inuyasha should wear shoes or something? I don't think they allow bare feet in the club." Yuka frowned at her friend.

"Hmm… good point… but he hates shoes. Uh, because they, uh, hinder his hopping abilities!" Kagome smiled, looking a little worse for wear from keeping up the complicated lie. An idea struck and she rummaged in her sleeves. "Damnit, do any of you guys have a sharpie?"

"I do!" Ayumi pulled a large black marker from her honey pot. "What? It's in case my 'hunny' starts wearing off!"

"Heaven forbid." Yuka said, giggling as Kagome gratefully accepted the marker.

It took them much longer than Inuyasha to get down the full staircase and when they did the irritated 'grasshopper' was sitting on the low wall, bouncing his leg in a gesture that was all too familiar to Kagome. She couldn't stop the heartfelt smile that tugged on her lips as she leaned down and kissed the top of his head. The smell of his hair made the world stop as he touched his forehead to her shoulder with a sigh.

A squeal behind them broke them apart as they looked up to see Kagome's friends watching them with sparkly eyes and smiles on their faces.

"You two… you're so… so cute!" Ayumi exclaimed as she pulled a tissue to blow her nose with from her honey pot. "It's no wonder that you couldn't keep apart! It's so romantic!"

Kagome laughed uncomfortably as she knelt to the ground in front of Inuyasha, careful to keep her white kimono from touching the pavement.

"So does that blush count as a point for me?" A rumbly voice asked in her ear.

She subtly shook her head and drew a line across his foot. He jerked it out of her grasp with an unmanly squeak.

"That tickles!"

"Stop being a chicken." She pulled his foot back to her and drew another line across it, making two lines that parted from in between his toes and went to the sides of his feet, then one more around the back of the heel. "Most places here don't let you in without shoes Inuyasha."

"But I hate shoe-… oh." He examined his feet where, in the dark, it looked like he was wearing sandals. "I'm impressed Kagome, that's pretty clever of you!"

She rolled her eyes and turned to hand the marker back to Ayumi. "Wait a minute! You guys multiplied!"

Hojou had finally caught up, sandy-colored bear head held under one arm and a small red t-shirt the only other part of his costume, besides the bear suit. His face broke into a broad smile when he saw Kagome a smile that conveyed the deep affection that builds after almost a decade of friendship.

"Hey Kagome! I thought your mom said you were abroad?" He asked while giving her a one-armed bear hug.

A deep growl cut through the conversation like a knife and Kagome pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. "That was the plan."

"Hojou! Kagome is part of a travelling circus!" Ayumi exclaimed excitedly. "She and Inuyasha have an act together, have you been introduced to Inuyasha yet?" She asked, oblivious to the battle aura that surrounded the half-demon.

Kagome flicked his nose and muttered. "Bad dog." Under her breath, which caused his ears to droop and eyes to look as if the world had just imploded. "Sorry! Sorry! Good dog! Good dog!" She rubbed his head in penance for saying the absolute worst thing you could ever say to a dog.

"I'm not your dog!" Inuyasha growled, perky ears giving away his delight at being praised.

"Hojou, this is Inuyasha." Kagome turned and smiled to the bear-boy who tried to shake hands with the dog-boy.

"Hey! I have met you before! You attacked me at the cultural festival when you thought I was flirting with Kagome!"

Kagome winced, Hojou always seemed like such an air-head that his moments of insight still took her completely off guard.

"Yeah what of it?" Inuyasha growled back, golden eyes still narrowed suspiciously.

Kagome whapped him upside the head. "Be nice."

"But… But you embraced him." He whined, eyes alight with the subtle red glow that signaled the impending onset of his demon blood.

"That is an acceptable greeting here; it doesn't mean that I am in love with him you idiot." She hissed back, her actions belying her tone as she took his hand lovingly in her own to help him control his demonic powers. "You are the only person I think of romantically." She blushed but the statement had the intended effect of snapping him back in control of his body.

"Hey are you guys coming?" Hojou called back to them. The rest of the group had already walked to the end of the block without waiting for them.

"-I can't believe how grown up Souta has gotten!" Eri was saying as they caught up.

"Yeah, he definitely is pretty cute, is he legal yet?" Yuka giggled.

"Oh I do NOT like where this conversation is going." Kagome cut in, glaring at both of her friends.

"So… Inuyasha… do you have any brothers?" Yuka asked innocently, as though pedophilic intentions had never been brought up.

"Huh? Yeah I guess. If you can call him a brother." Inuyasha shrugged.

"Have you met him Kagome?" Eri whispered just loud enough for Yuka to eavesdrop—not knowing that Inuyasha was part dog and could hear every word. "Is he handsome?"

Kagome raised her eyebrows as high as they would go, nodding almost imperceptibly in the universal expression of omfg-you-have-no-idea.

"More handsome than Inuyasha?" Yuka asked disbelievingly.

"Oh come on guys, no one could ever be more handsome or brave or strong as Inuyasha!" Kagome replied loudly as the male in question whipped around, claws raised menacingly. "I could never ask for a more attractive boyfriend!" She reached up to rub his ears and in the process flattened them completely against his skull.

"His older brother is the most beautiful man I've ever met." She murmured so quickly that it took them a moment to figure out what she had said. "Oh I'm sorry baby, did I hurt your earsies?"

Yuka and Eri burst into giggles and both of them spaced out, imagining the older brother of the exotically handsome man walking beside them.

Yuka pictured him with Inuyasha's hair color and eyes but with higher cheekbones and an almost feminine mouth. He was dressed in an Armani suit with a dozen roses and saying in a sexy accent, "Do you want to take a trip to Paris this weekend Love?"

Eri pictured him as a rugged muscular man with narrow golden eyes and short silver hair. He was dressed in a pair of form fitting jeans and heavy boots (and nothing else) saying in a deep masculine voice, "I just finished building a cabin for you baby… let's spend some quality time there."

I wonder what Sesshomaru is up to. Kagome wondered idly, ignoring her friends' drool.

Pale blue eyes widened as a young woman arched her back and moaned, hands gripping the bedding on either side of her desperately. Silver hair as fine as silk brushed over her body as the strong arm her head lay on tensed.

"Beloved I beg of y-Ah!" Her sentence broke off in a cry to the ceiling as her breast was lavished by the warm tongue of the dog demon warlord.

"Do you admit that you have been defeated?" His deep voice with the hint of a growl asked.

She looked up into the narrowed golden eyes above her. "Never."

His body surged forward, forcing her into another arch that slammed her torso into his above her. He was as yielding as a mountain and she fell back against the bed gasping. He rested inside her, as deep as her body would allow, pressed unrelentingly against her throbbing core. The longer he stayed motionless the more her body ached, the knowledge of his being as deep in hers as he could be coupled with the sensation of being filled brought her so close to climax that her hips traitorously rocked against him.

He withdrew torturously slowly, knowing that the slightest pressure up or down would send her hurtling over the edge.

"My lord! Your cruelty knows no bounds!" She struggled to move her body against the bindings that kept her in place.

"Admit defeat."

She bit her lip hard enough to draw blood and shook her head slowly. He dipped to catch the trail of crimson, tongue whispering over her lips without accepting their parted invitation to enter her mouth.

He bit her shoulder as a dominant animal would and rocked inside her once again. His teeth bruised her flesh and she cried out in a mixture of pleasure and pain.

"I don't even know… what we were arguing about… anymore!" She managed to say in spite of her ragged breathing.

He pulled away to look at her, a ruthless smile of triumph gracing his beautiful features as he pulled her up, snapping the bindings that held her arms.

"Then you have been defeated." His left arm wrapped around her hips as she wound her legs around his waist, moaning as he began a steady rhythm of thrusting up into her body. She tangled her fingers in his hair and pulled his head back viciously to claim his mouth with her own.

As her body was swept away in the devastating wave of her orgasm he allowed himself his own release, shuddering from the hours of sexual torture that had the double edge of tormenting himself in addition to her. A deep groan slipped past his composure as her inner walls clenched around him and she took control; pushing him into her body over and over until his climax was complete and she allowed her last wave of pleasure take over her senses.

Mine. He thought as they fell to the bed together, limbs so entwined he couldn't tell where he stopped and she began.

"Yours." She panted exhaustedly.

Author's ramble:
