Book Lover
Chapter: Four
Kagome could hardly eat as she watched the man across from her shove food into his mouth like he hadn't eaten in ages. Picking over her food she let her fork fall. "Okay, I think I've been patient enough." Sliding her plate to the side, she folded her hands infront of her, and looked over at him. Eyes sparkling with wonder and excitement.
Sighing he nibbled on what was left of the food on a stick. "Desert first?" He looked over to her without lifting his head, to give her a sultry grin.
"I don't have anything made..." It finally clicked. He wasn't talking about food.
"That's alright, I'm sure I could make do... We just need you naked." Placing both hands on the table to slowly pull himself up.
Kagome have a frustrated groan as she stood, walked over to the corner of her room, picking up a spray bottle, and returned. Buyo seemed to know something he didn't because he was now hiding under the bed. "Now, you seem to have a problem with..." Gesturing to his whole body.
"You make that sound like a bad thing." He purred and stood. "Now, if I get my desert, I'll answer any question you have."
Now, that was tempting, but she wouldn't cave so easily. Holding out the bottle she gave him a warning look. He went to move around the chair and she pulled the trigger. A spritz of water straight to the face. He flinched and shook his head, the trickle of water tickled his ears.
"What in the-" She sprayed him again, shaking his head he whipped at his ears. "Would you stop that." Growling at her.
"Now, sit down and you owe me ten answers." She sat down across from the table bottle at the ready.
He sat with a frustrated growl and a defeated sigh. "What if every answer I give, you take off an article of clothing." Spritz. "Gah! Would you stop that!" He leaned forward with snarled teeth.
The bottle up at his face she eyed him. "I will use this."
He sat back down with a plop. "This is ridiculous. Fine! What are your questions." Leaning back he crossed his arms with a pout.
"First." Adjusting her glasses she thought over her many many questions. "You came from the book."
"That's not a question..." Sounding extra annoyed.
"That's correct, I'm trying to add this all up... There is so much I want to ask. Now, shush so I can talk this out." Chewing on her bottom lip, his ears twitched. "My first question is, why were you in the book?"
"It's my punishment." He said flatly, this wasn't exactly what he wanted to be doing for the next seven days. This was worse than being stuck in that blasted void for decades on end, well maybe that was an exaggeration. But it was a close second!
"Why?" Kagome's eyes searched him for any other answer she could get.
"Is that your second question?" The corners of his mouth twitched.
"No! Come on. You have to elaborate. How can I learn anything about you with answers like that."
"You're not supposed to." The grin pulling more and more at his lips.
Kagome sighed with defeat and let her head fall on the table. "Are you going to torture me the whole seven days you're here? I thought you were about pleasure not punishment." She was slowly adding up what he was exactly, but that felt like a ballpark of a statement.
"I'm good at both, if you like that, mistress."
A tingle went up her spine and her whole body shivered. "Don't call me that."
"What should I call you? My lady? Hetaera? Doxy? Inamorata? I can keep going..."
"Please don't.. Just call me Kagome." Rubbing her temples to try and ease the headache that was pulsing behind them.
"Kagome, your Christian name.. are we that formal already? Then I don't see why we can't-" Spritz. "Damn it all woman! I'm trying here, and you keep-" Spritz. His mouth closed with a snap.
"How old are you?" Kagome placed the spray bottle down and her hands under her chin.
He looked at her with fire, but slowly lowered himself back down. "I'm not sure. I am immortal, you lose time after a few hundred decades." His voice bitter with a hint of sarcasm.
Her eyes grew large at his words, and she whispered them over her own lips. "Hundred decades..."
"That's two questions." He said a little cocky as if he was growing tired of her questions and looked to have something else planned. "No, tell me more about your punishment."
"That was a demand, not a question. I kinda like it."
"Fine!" Kagome tossed her hands up in the air. "Question three. Why are you being punished?" Holding up a finger. "And don't you dare say because you were a bad boy."
Chuckling he looked her over, and she was sure he was undressing her with his eyes. "You'relearning. Well, you could find this all in the book, but..." Realizing there was no way to get out of her interrogationhe sighed with defeat. "It was my punishment. I wronged the wrong woman, and well.. She was not too kind. I used her for what I wanted, and so now. I get used for what others want."
"What do they want from you?"
"Sex, need, desire, companionship... The list can go on and on. Most women summon me to make a child. I am a fertility god after all." The way she looked at him as if begging him to continue, but too afraid to speak to ruin the moment. Shaking his head he let it fall back onto his shoulders. Staring at the ceiling above them. "I was really popular in the 1800's and before. Women who couldn't conceivewould call on me. Back then a woman was only as good as her womb was at makingheirs. So, they would summon me. After seven days they would be with child, and I would be sent back into the book." His head falling back forward, his eyes meeting her saddened eyes. "I don't want your pity." Anger flashed across his face. "I made my bed. Now I get to lay in it. Most of the time with willing women." The anger flashed away, and back was that flirt facade as he winked at her.
"But you... " Looking over him. "The child wouldn't exactly look... like the father." Kagome tried to say gently, but there really was no other way to say it. "I mean you have dog ears."
"Ah, half god. Half human." Pointing to his ears. "It's a sure way to discover who is a mut." Nodding he waved the hand. "Because I am just a curse. I am the cause, the woman is the reaction. The babe would just come out looking like the mother. Nothing suspicious about that." He gave a small shrug.
"But if they were unable to have children. How could you...?"
"I am part god. Much more potentthan the average male." A cocky grin.
"Have you ever failed?"
"Never."
"And after seven days you just disappearlike nothing happened?"
"Correct."
"Don't they ever miss you?"
"Duh. No one will ever measure out to the lover I am." That cocky grin spreading wide.
"That's so sad..." Kagome shook her head. "Your just kept in that book until someone uses you for sex, and then you go back? Just used and tossed away... Like some used trash."
"You made it sound bad..." Inuyasha laughed a little bitterly, but it was hidden under it well. "Any man would love my position. I get to be with many many women. No attachments, nor commitments. Then I just wait until I get to do it again, and again, and again."
"How many women have you been with?"
"I've lost count."
"Can you be summoned more than once?"
"No, and that was Ten my sweet. Now, is it my turn to pick the game we play?"
"No, no. Please... I have so many more questions, and I only get you for seven days.. I need to know more." Kagome begged and watched him stand. "Please..." Watching him walk around the room stretchingout his limbs. "Like... how would you know about strip poker? What happened to the book after you go back in? What's it like in there? Can I free you?"
The last question made his head snap to attention. "Why would you do a dumb thing like that?"
"Well-well... You're trapped in a book.. That can't be good." Holding up a finger. "Even if you say it is. Inuyasha... That is no life. No matter what you may have done in your past. You have surely lived out your punishment. Isn't there something we can do to get you out?"
"Sure," He gave her a mischievous grin. "To make love to a virgin."
"Really?" Kagome's heart started to race, but if that was the ticket... She was indeed a virgin. Standing up with a hand to her chest to try and keep her heart from jumping out of her chest.
"Oh, yeah. Repeatedly." He started to move his way over to her, the way his hips moved as he stalked to her caused her breath to hitch. "I'd be free... and forever yours. You wanna set me free, Kagome? Let me show you what kind of lover you summoned." He was so close now she could feel the heat from him.
"I could free you?" Her eyes slowly worked up his face to meet his own, but his eyes said it all. "You're lying..." Kagome whispered, but the more air she took in the more she started to not care. Her body started to lean into his like some sort of force pulling her into him. Strange needs started to form... Touch, taste, and smell.. She wanted them all... "You were just trying to sleep with me..." Her eyes were heavy with lust, but the more she told herself he just lied to her the more she couldn't think on her own. Her hand reached down for the spray bottle, but he grabbed it from her before she could spritz him again.
"Tsk tsk. Kagome." Holding it out of her reach. "Come on now. Stop fighting it. I know you want me. I can smell your need..." His voice lowered as he spoke. "It's so strong I can almost taste it." That brought an idea to him. "What if I helped you get some relief, and I would tell you how to help me." His eyes dragged down her body.
"How could you help me?" Whispering as her eyes watched his own eyed devour her slowly.
"That need that your feeling. An ache so strong it almost hurts." He nodded when his eyes found hers once more and they gave it away. They showed surprise that he could tell what was happening to her body. That ache was back, her whole body started to wind up. "It will only get more and more intense. Let me help you. Release some of that pressure. You'll like it, I promise." So tight...
Kagome wasn't sure when he put the bottle down and his hands were on her hips, pulling her into his body. Wrapping his arms around her to keep her there agaisnt him snugly. Swaying she could feel his erection pressing agaisnt her abdomen. A small gasp of air escaped her lips as his hand dipped lower grabbing her behind, and lifting her up effortlessly.
Kagome's body had a mind of its own as her legs wrapped around his waist, and his head dipped down to catch her opened mouth with his own. Moaning into his lips a tongue came to greet her. Kagome's eyes large as she watched him almost going crossed eyed until her eyes slowly fell closed.
At first she was shy, her tongue only coming out to touch his with little slowly kisses, but soon she matched him. Both exploring each others mouth fully and with vigor. Kagome's arms wrapped around him to hold herself up, not that he needed it. He held her like she was nothing but air.
Her hands feeling his strong shoulders, down his back and trailing her nails back up. One hand found his maine of beautiful silver hair all the way up to his ears. Rubbing one ear in small circles to match her hips grinding into his very hard member between her legs, giving a light relief to the ache between them. It was his turn to moan, and if that sound wasn't the sexiest thing she had ever heard in all her years.
Kagome... Her name was being called from somewhere very far away. Then a knocking sound? "Kagome, I know your home. Let me in. I brought some groceries."
Kagome pulled back, her head in a fog, breathing heavy, legs shaking with need, but something was wrong...
"Kagome!" There it was. Reality smacked her right in the face as she pushed off of the man.
"No..." He tried to bring her back to him, but her legs were unwrapped from his waist and she pushed him away, smacking at his attempt to grope her back into his arms. Kagome stepped back with the back of her hand at her mouth, lips bruised from their make out session.
"Stop it! It's my mother." Kagome whispered harshly as she ran her hands though her hair, and straightened her clothing. "You need to hide!" Kagome walked to the door. "Uh, just moment-" Looking around for a place to hide her mystery man he was already gone... "Oh.." Feeling a little disappointed that he was gone, even though she told him to... Kagome opened the door.
Pushing her way in she looked around until her eyes landed on her daughter. "Goodness dear, you look like your feverish." A hand found Kagome's forehead. "Are you ill?"
"Oh, no. I-I was just working out. Trying to get into better shape. Gotta make sure I fit into that dress next weekend." Kagome pulled on a smile. "Yesterday's alterations were a little snug." Patting her flat stomach.
"Well, you do seem out of breath. Don't push yourself too hard."
"Oh, yeah.. right." Looking down at her mom's hands full of bags kagome quickly closed the door and reached for the bags. "Oh, momma. You didn't have to do this. I have plenty of food."
The older woman's eyes was already looking at the plates of Chinese food on the table. "Is that why you eat out all the time, and you wonder why your dress was snug. Do you have company?"
Kagome rushed to empty her hands of the bags on the counter top and grab the two plates. "Oh, well me and Buyo always enjoy Chinese food on Sundays. Just a treat, really."
"Kagome, I worry about you... Oh, Chinese? The place down the way? Did you see Hojo? He seems like a nice man.." There it was.
"Oh, he's very nice." Kagome agreed and started putting away food as her mom sat at the table. "Aren't you friends with his mother?" Kagome knew the answer already.
"Nice enough to bring to your brothers wedding Sunday?" That was a not so subtle hint. "Oh yes, she is a lovely woman."
"Actually... I already have a date." Thinking to her sexy book lover man. "You'll meet him at the wedding." Kagome smiled over to her mother knowing that would shock her silly.
"Really?!" A little unbelief in her voice. "You just met him? Does he have a name."
"Yeah, we just met uh a-at the museum actually. His name is Inuyasha." Not a total lie... Just a little one.
"Oh, my. Well, that's fantastic dear. I would of hated for you to be alone at the wedding... I was going to invite Hojo, but I'm glad I didn't." She smiled warmly at her daughter. "I also stoped by to warn you that Souta invited Kouga."
Kagome's back locked as she was putting away cereal. "Oh." Swallowing hard she turned with a fake smile. "And why wouldn't he. They use to get along so well back in the day. They really became close, I know the breakup really did hurt him. So, I'm glad they could continue to be friends." Nodding as if trying to convince herself.
"But bringing a date will help keep you distracted from Kouga so you can celebrate your brothers happiness."
"Yes, momma. I am very happy for him." Kagome repeated for the hundredth time or so it felt.
"Who knows... Maybe you'll be next."
A fake laugh. "Oh, maybe..." Shaking her head no, but trying to humor her desperate mothers wishes to become a grandmother.
They talked for hours over tea and some cookies that her mother had brought, but as the night went on and yawns started to sneak in their conversations. Not a moment too soon for Kagome either. Even though the talk with her mother was pleasant enough, all she could think about was her dog eared man.
"Oh, goodness. I've kept you up so late." The older woman stood covering her mouth from yet another yawn. "I really should get home, let you get some sleep."
"Oh, I guess it is getting late." Kagome looked to the stoves clock. Already after eleven. Where did her Sunday go...
Grabbing her purse from the table, she turned for hugs and kisses from Kagome. "I'll see you soon, dear. Try and get some sleep. You've got bags under your eyes." A gentle hand cupped Kagome's cheek.
Kagome knew her mother meant well, and was probally right, but couldn't help her reaction was to roll her eyes. "Yah, okay momma. Bye bye." Practically pushing her out the door.
Once the door was closed she ran and searched the whole apartment... "Where did you go?" Walking from the bathroom she peaked under the bed. It wasn't like there were too many places to hide. The whole apartment was open concept except the bathroom. "I did not dream that entire scene in my head." Putting down her foot with a small stomp. "Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" Looking around the room, but nothing... No half sex god or whatever he was. Nothing. Just her and Buyo. Alone again... Why did this loneliness feel more empty than ever before.
Getting ready for bed she brushed her teeth and hair, pulled on a clean pair of pajamas... It was one of her nicer pairs just incase. A silk green tank top with matching bottoms, a black lace trim around all the edges. The shorts were very short, and the tank top dipped down in a V. Looking in a long body mirror she mostly approved, but felt insanely silly. Why was she dressing in her finest for an imaginary man.
Getting into bed her mind just wouldn't stop... All she could think about was that kiss. How he felt pressed so intamently pressed against her, his tongue dancing with hers... "Stop." Squeezing her eyes shut. Smacking a palm to her forehead she groaned. "You said you had a date to the wedding." Rolling over with choppy motions she punched at her pillow until she could get comfortable. Trying to come up with some fix. "Ask Hojo..." That was it. She would ask Hojo to go with her, and tell her mother her date fell through. There, all was well now. "Now sleep.." Mumbling to herself.
It was easier said than done, but eventually she did end up drifting off to a light sleep and sometime after midnight her bed seemed to feel warmer. Cozier. Snuggling into the warmth strong arms wrapped around her. Legs tangling with her own, and she had never slept so good in her entire life.
See you next time! -Mikiru- xoxo
