Chapter 36

Kagome's mother opened her mouth, and then closed her mouth again. 'And there's another thing that's bothering me, Momma,' Kagome continued hurriedly. Again, her mother opened and closed her mouth in quick succession. 'Well, you see…recently we've been traveling with this demon named Ayumu. He actually SAID he was the demon in my dreams…so I'm kinda confused. You know? He knew about the dreams when he wasn't in them or anything. And I really like him, but he doesn't smell the same and I doubt he feels the same…' Kagome stopped at the shocked look covering her mother's face.

Kagome's mother arched her eyebrow and said, 'so there are two demons that you think may be the one in your dream, but you aren't sure which? They are both interesting to you? Then why don't you get to know both of them better and choose?' Kagome thought for a moment and then nodded. 'That sounds good. I think I'm going to go shower because I have this strange feeling that Ayumu won't like the scent of Sesshomaru that I'm sure is on my skin and hair…' Kagome giggled as her mother scrunched her nose and she trotted off merrily to the shower.

When Kagome turned the knob in the shower, she watched disinterestedly as the water flowed out of the faucet. She slid the door shut behind her, the change of clothes onto the counter top and the dirty clothes onto the floor. Kagome played with the hot/cold knobs until the water just barely scorched her skin and she climbed in. The hot water that brushed lightly against her skin sent a chill down her spine. She closed her eyes and suddenly, the clawed arm of Sesshomaru wrapped around her slender frame and she shivered from the ghostly contact. She could feel his hot, skin pressed against hers and his slick, pulsing member pressed against her ass. She ground back into him and heard him moan her name into her sensitive ear, a ghostly, echoing whisper. When her eyes opened, he was gone, the water rolling down her sensitive skin the only contact she had and the ache in her stomach grew.
