Sesshomaru smiled as he carried his goddaughter from the tiny house. He was aware he was smiling as Bruka nestled against his chest. It was a long time in the coming, but finally, Kagome and Brunch were going to talk. Though with their pride and stubbornness, there'd likely be yelling with little to no coherent words. A part of him was dissatisfied because he no longer had a chance with his miko.

"Uhh, why did Kagome seem reluctant to talk to Brunch about Bruka?" Komatsu asked.

Rolling his eyes, Sesshomaru looked at Coco. Who caught his gaze. The four brats raised by Ichiryuu knew of the laws, and he'd not explain while holding Bruka.

"Komatsu, I'll tell you later in our domicile. It has to do with some ancient laws," Coco said softly.

"Okay, Coco-san!" Komatsu replied. "But I hope Kagome and Brunch can work things out. They are well suited for each other."

Sesshomaru bit down hard on his back molars at the young human's words. This young man's naivete and intuition were a scary combination.

Kagome bustled around her kitchen, cleaning up the tea and putting away what little was left of the dinner. Her mind went over her conversation about GOD and the man brooding on her couch. Between Zebra and Sesshomaru, she'd been trapped and now had to talk things out with Brunch. Who wasn't any more eager than she was due to being manipulated.

By no means was she a coward. She tended to face her problems head-on. Proof in how she handled Inu Yasha earlier and made a statement for Brunch to piss him off. Yet his aura showed he was impressed and intrigued.

Giving a slight shake of her head, Kagome felt her nerves fray even more. She'd been purposefully putting this conversation off. She liked Brunch a lot. And her body responded well to him. Which was another reason she kept trying to avoid him. A chef with his sense of smell was good, but add on the fact he was a Tengu; it meant that sense of smell was heightened, and he'd pick up her arousal instantly.

Sighing, Kagome walked back into the living room and past Brunch. Her mind was in such disarray that she squeaked when her wrist was grabbed. Stumbling as she whipped her head around, Kagome met Brunches gaze and swallowed.

"Wanna sit? We need to talk now," he commanded.

Narrowing her eyes, Kagome pursed her lips and pulled her arm to free it from his hand.

"I don't think so," Brunch growled at her. "We are going to talk. I leave with everyone in the morning to gather Asia's full course to prepare for GOD's arrival. And I will not have any distractions, Ka-Go-Me!"

Unable to stop herself, Kagome physically twitched violently. Frowning at Brunch, she tried to pull her arm free again. The sharp tug she received had her finally falling to sit on the couch by him. Who still refused to release her. And Kagome didn't like how hot his hand made her flesh feel.

"Why?"

It was a single word in the form of a question, and Kagome couldn't help feeling perplexed.

Lifting her head, she met his gaze and felt the heat at her wrist crawl up to her neck and face.

"I..." Kagome said, only to snap her mouth shut, teeth clicking loudly.

"You what? Felt shame because you were drunk and fucked a Hex World monster?" That you'd let down your precious Lord and lover?" Brunch snapped at her.

The surge of anger at his question had Kagome raising her Horiki. The site of him flinching as it crackled sharply at his hand made Kagome feel smug. AT least until the returned tit for tat with its electricity.

Giving a loud hiss from the pain, Kagome looked away, pouting.

"Learned that from our daughter."

Her body stiffened at what Brunch said. At the same time, her mind tried to figure out when the two could have been around each other.

"Look at me, Kagome," Brunch whispered. "Or I'll make you."

Tilting her head, Kagome flushed when her nose brushed Brunches. She'd been unaware he'd moved closer. And suddenly, her mind went blank, and her head dropped again.

"I warned you."

Brunch's words had Kagome's world shifting. She was closing her eyes until she felt her back on the soft cushions of her couch and a hot hand cupping her chin. The sound of her heart beating in her chest echoed in her ears. Kagome slowly opened her eyes.

There hovering over her now prone body was Brunch. The closeness of their body had Kagome feeling delirious. A part of her wanted to reach up and run her hands over the hard planes of his chest. While the electricity(literally) charged air around had Kagome salivating at the potential danger. A turn on Kagome could not keep her from responding.

"I'll have my answer, Kagome."

The low, husky, and hoarse undertones of Brunches' voice had Kagome realizing he was also affected by how close they were. It helped Kagome relax and calm down.

Swallowing to wet her suddenly parched throat, Kagome finally found herself able to respond.

000000

Brunch knew getting a response out of Kagome would be difficult. But he had not expected her to use her Holy Power. Though his daughter(which was still a shock to him) had snuck to see him several times had the same powers. Bruka had regaled him of her life with Kagome and how to use electricity to repel a small amount of that Holy Power.

Yet he had not figured he'd end up physically responding to the damn woman after being mean to her or that her stubbornness would make him pin her beneath him on the couch.

Watching Kagome, eyes closed, lying beneath him, looking helpless. Bruch felt his blood rush south, causing him to inhale deeply through his nose. Only to smell a mix of pure, clean air and the heady musk of Kagomes arousal?

His male ego was stroked, flooding his body with endorphins. So when Kagome's blue eyes opened to stare into his, Brunch fought the urge to lean the rest of the way in and kiss her.

"No. I wasn't ashamed. And no, Lord Fluffy was only a factor 'cause he's my appointed guardian," Kagome said. "there should never be ashamed for taking pleasure, you asshat!"

Blinking at her words sank in, Brunch frowned.

"Then why did you just leave?"

His question had Kagome rolling her eyes at him.

"I felt the shift, meaning I felt spice coming. Also, I knew I was in trouble for vanishing without a word. And a few million in a bar tab," Kagome muttered.

He felt his lips curl into a smile before he started laughing. The annoyed look on Kagome's face at his reaction only made him laugh harder.

"Stop laughing, you bratty Tengu!"

At her petulant cry, Brunch bared his teeth, still chuckling. Then he leaned in the rest of the way. The moment his lips met hers, a pleasing shock ran through his body as a low moan escaped the captive below him.

It was shocking, but when Kagome's blunt teeth bit his bottom lip, Brunch growled in warning. She was challenging him and his dominance. So shifting his body, Brunch brought a knee to rest between her legs as he licked the seam of her pressed lips, which Kagome opened willingly as she wiggled, arching her body against his.

Brunch now knew why Sesshomaru had manipulated and commanded them to talk. It was already confusing that Kagome, the only miko in existence, gave birth to a full-blooded Tengu baby. But she desired monsters over humans, well, demons aside.

This talk was not a talk so much as making them be together. And Brunch wasn't going to waste this. The tiny human woman had plagued him for years. No other could ever fill her place, and Brunch hated being sexually frustrated, which he had been since their second meeting after arriving in Hex Village.

A sharp, painful tug of his hair drew Brunch from his musings. Seeing the need and demand in Kagome's blue eyes as he felt her hand slip under his shirt made Brunch break the kiss and cuss.

Brunch looked down; his belt was undone(again) without him noticing(again). Raising his eyes to see the smug look on Kagome's face, he realized that this tiny human woman was aware she was playing with fire and more than eager to do so.

Figuring he'd give her what she wanted, Brunch captured her lips with his. Then slowly drug his hand from her chin to her neck and chest, teasing her collarbone lightly before grabbing a fist full of her shirt and ripping it open. It was going to be a long night, and he hoped the barrier around the hut would hold.

Brunch did not want to let anyone know what Kagome sounded(or smelled) like in the throes of passion.

TBC!
