Sesshomaru had taken Kagome deep into the forest to a small hot spring, well hidden by trees, tall grasses, and shrubbery. Kagome gushed. She hadn't been to a hot spring since she was a small child when her parents had taken her and Sota, who was even younger than she was. She smiled fondly at the happy memories from that time. When it came to stripping and actually getting in, though, Kagome suddenly got butterflies in her belly and turned shy.

Sesshomaru, on the other hand, had absolutely no shame. He easily stripped in front of her, keenly aware that she watched him. Kagome was enraptured as the heavy silk fell off of his masculine form. She wasn't surprised to find that his demonic markings extended past his clothing, though every other time she had seen him shirtless was in his human disguise. The magenta stripes she had seen on his wrists and cheeks were replicated in other places on his body. There was a set of markings under each shoulder blade that reached down to wrap around his pectorals, a set that accented his collar bones, a set that ran from his hip bones along the v that cut down between his legs, and a set that caressed his ankles. She could see the shifting cloud-like Moko Moko beginning as a thin trail of hair at the base of his neck and running down his spine until it extended from the small of his back, almost like a crack in his humanoid armor that was letting that little piece of his true form escape. His muscles rippled under his skin, flexing and relaxing with each movement.

Kagome's mouth went dry.

"Like what you see?" Sesshomaru's voice carried the undertone of a slight growl, almost as if he and the Beast had spoken a the same time.

Kagome tried to answer him, but all that came out was a scratchy little squeak, so she nodded instead.

He approached her cautiously, hands outstretched until they met with the tie at her waist. "May I?" He asked, voice low, meeting her eyes with the fire of his own.

She nodded again.

His hands moved quickly, efficiently, knowing his way around the feudal clothing better than Kagome who had only been wearing this for a few weeks. His hands were gentle with her, however, as he removed her clothing, revealing her body to him. He had seen her fully naked twice before, but in both of those instances, they had been in life and death situations. This was different. Special. When she was finally fully unclothed, Kagome had to fight not to cover her breasts or cross her legs. He had made it clear that he wanted her. There was no reason to hide herself from him.

He took both her hands in his and led her into the steaming thermal pool.

Kagome sighed as she sank into the water, allowing the heat to relax her sore muscles. "Oh. That's good." She moaned sinking even further into the water.

Sesshomaru chuckled.

"Don't you laugh at me. It feels great and you know it."

He smirked at her. "So, I take it this was indeed a good idea?"

Kagome smiled up at him, removing her hands from his to run her fingers through her hair as she leaned her head back in the water. "Oh yeah. Brilliant idea."

Sesshomaru followed Kagome's lead and took the next several minutes to clean himself as well.

Eventually, they both ended up reclining on a rock ledge, conveniently placed just so, so that they could lean back in the water together and look up at the stars. Kagome leaned against his left side with his arm around her shoulder and her hand resting over his heart. It was a comfortable position, one they had been in many times before back at his apartment in the city, and it made it easier for Kagome to relax, knowing what they were planning to do. She had been the one to suggest it, yes, but even so, she was nervous. Sesshomaru didn't yet know that Kagome was virgin, and she wasn't quite sure how he would react to that fact.

After a few minutes of sitting like that, Sesshomaru shifted and pulled Kagome into his lap so that her back was to him, and behad rubbing her shoulders and back, working out all of the knots and tenseness. Kagome moaned with satisfaction as his nimble fingers kneaded her muscles, and he chuckled.

"Oh. That's good." she sighed.

"I get the feeling that there is something on your mind." He said as he continued to massage her back.

"There is..." She said hesitantly, her muscles stiffening again.

"Relax..." He said, working his fingers deeper into her skin. "Tell me what has you so nervous."

Kagome took a deep breath before beginning. "I've never... done this before."

"Done what?" He sounded honestly confused.

"Had...sex... this, all of this, it's a first for me." Her shoulders hunched in embarrassment, as her cheeks heated from the admission.

"You're a virgin?" He asked softly.

She nodded silently.

"And this embarrasses you?"

Again she nodded.

Gently, he pushed her off of his lap and turned her to face him. He lifted her chin so that their eyes could meet, and he searched her face. "Why?"

She was quiet for a long moment before she responded to him. "I... don't want to... disappoint you."

Sesshomaru's eyebrows shot up towards his hairline. "Why on earth would your being an innocent disappoint me?"

"I don't have any experience..."

He smiled then and placed his hands on either side of her face, holding her gaze. "And I'm glad of that. This means that I am your first. Demons are not required to be celibate until they are mated, but it is considered a great honor to present your virginity to your true Mate. For my kind, it demonstrates strong loyalty and self-control. I don't know why Humans think that more experience makes for a better sexual partner. I'd much rather learn you and know what makes you feel good and visa-versa than to make assumptions based on past partners. I am honored that you are pure before our Mating."

Kagome gave him a shy smile. "Then, are you...?"

He gently kissed her lips. "I am."

"But that night in your room. You seemed to really know what you were doing."

His smile turned into a smirk once again. "I am glad that you enjoyed that, but I was making it up as I went. I have never seen the need to lay with a woman who was not my Mate."

Some part of Kagome relished the idea that this man had never been with another woman. He was as much hers as she was his, and the power that rested, dormant inside of her, sang with feminine approval. She felt the need rising within her and she let it take her as her lips crashed back down onto his, opening for him to taste and to take.

Sesshomaru's Beast, for once, was silent. He was not sleeping, for Sesshomaru could still feel his presence in his mind, but he was quiet. He needed this as much as Sesshomaru did, and there was no way he was going to interrupt it.

Sesshomaru claimed her mouth, even as his hands reached for her hips to tug her back up onto his lap, facing him this time. Kagome's legs straddled Sesshomaru's hips as they kissed and tasted each other, hands roaming and exploring. Kagoma was suddenly very aware that they were both naked, as she felt the length his arousal nestled against the heat between her own legs. Curious, Kagome gave an experimental little grind against him and they both moaned. Proud of herself, she did it again. And again. Until they were Kissing and writhing against each other with a wild sort of abandon.

Her hands explored his body, enjoying every sound she pulled from him when she caressed one or another of his marks. Once, her fingers slid over the marks than ran under his shoulders and pectorals and he did that growly purring thing that she loved, and the vibrations that traveled from him to her sent delicious waves of pleasure crashing over her.

Sesshomaru's hands began to move, from sliding up and down her back and sides to caressing her belly and moving up to cup her breasts the way she had liked it before. Kagome gasped and threw her head back. Pleased with the response he received, he allowed one of his hands to then travel down to where she was moving against him. His fingers found the small patch of curls which guarded her core and his thumb caressed the crease of her thigh and she froze. He gently urged her to rise a little, and then slipped his hand between her legs. Kagome gave slight whimper when the knuckle of one finger brushed the little bundle of nerves that hid there between her thighs amidst his exploration. He caressed her clit again, this time intentionally, and she gasped. Sesshomaru slid the hand that had been holding her other breast, back around to the small of her back, supporting her as she melted into his touch.

Grinning, clearly satisfied with himself, he continued his attack on that sensitive little nub with his thumb, and let a questing finger slide between her folds. Sesshomaru enjoyed watching her face as she came undone under his touch, and soon found himself holding her up while her every muscle clenched and released with her climax, and she cried out his name, little tears in the corners of her eyes.

Gasping and desperately trying to catch her breath, Kagome slumped forward and rested her forehead against his shoulder. "Are you sure that this is your first time?" She asked, breathless and skeptical.

"I'm sure." He chuckled. "That good?"

"Mmmmm..."

Sesshomaru stood and carried her to the bank where he had laid out a blanket before their bath.

"Shouldn't we dry off first?"

He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."

He lay her down on the blanket, supporting himself over her. Laying a gentle hand on her cheek he spoke again, being sure to catch her gaze "It's not too late yet, are you absolutely sure that you want this? There is still time to back out."

Kagome smiled up at him, and, spreading her legs wide so that her knees were on either side of his hips, she said "You can't get rid of me that easily. I told you I'm ready. Trust me, and come here."

He leaned down and Kissed her again before positioning himself and slowly entering her body.

Kagome bit her lower lip as she felt the first twinges of discomfort, but it didn't hurt as she had expected. When he was fully sheathed within her she wrapped her legs up around his hips and locked her ankles. "Your mine now." She whispered into his ear. "Now, take what is yours."

And he did. As soon as he was inside her his Beast roared in triumph. She was his. He moved within her and bushed a certain place deep inside of her and she arched her back off of the ground.

Suddenly concerned he asked, "Are you-?"

"I'm okay." She gasped, cutting him off. "Do it again." He did. Soon they were moving together in a sensual rhythm and Kagome let herself embrace this man with no hesitation and no holds barred. She soon climaxed again, crying out and convulsing around him.

Just as her third climax of the night came upon her she felt Sesshomaru's mouth at the juncture between her neck and shoulder, right before his fangs pierced her flesh. The startling contrast between pain and pleasure was enough to send her hurtling off the edge as her Mate came inside of her, spilling his seed within her as their auras mingled and became one in an explosion of color and sensation.

In the aftermath of their coupling, Kagome lay on her Mate's chest with him still connected to her in the most intimate fashion, both breathing hard and basking in the afterglow. "That was..."

"Agreed."

"So this makes it official?" Kagome raised her head to look into his eyes.

"Yes, though we are not fully Mated in the eyes of society until I present you as my Mate to my family and then the council, the process is well past the point of no return."

Kagome smiled. "I'm glad." She reached up and ran her fingers through his hair, then down to caress the marks over his collar bones.

He purred before responding to her, "As am I."

Something occurred to Kagome just then. "Probably not the best time to ask this, but will I get pregnant after..."

"Not after tonight, no. Had I scented your fertility, I would have warned you ahead of time, but it is not the case this night. Why do you ask?"

"It's not that I don't want children with you, I just don't think now would be the best time for that. I kind of just want you and Rin all to myself for now."

Sesshomaru smiled. "Do not worry about hurting my feelings Mate. We have plenty of time to consider that possibility."

Kagome grinned. "Your right." She kissed the base of his throat and wiggled her hips naughtily, and her fingers traced the marks at his hips. "Wanna go again?" She asked with a wicked grin on her face.

Sesshomaru smirked at her. "So soon?"

AN. So there's that. I hope I did a good job with that. I've mentioned before that I'm a total novice when it comes to stuff like this, so if there is anything I could improve on next time, please let me know. I know I made this a little cheesy, but I wanted their first time to be really special for them both. Maybe they can get a little dirtier later. For now, that's all I got for ya. Ta Ta For Now.
