and repost it because of errors made by myself, but I am thrilled with the
reviews I've recieved. Thank you very much! On with the story!
I shrugged off the outer parts of my heavy costume in preparation for the bath. She sprinkled some white powder intot he tub as it filled up, tellinf me it was to relieve any itches I might have, if any, before she remembered my claws were good for that sort of thing.
"If they weren't so long, I'd have you scratch me with them sometime." she said.
"I'd never intentionally hurt you, Kagome, not now that we're friends." I told her.
She smiled when I told her that and told me the bath was done. She walked to the door to leave to give me some privacy, but I grabbed her wrist.
"You don't have to leave. I'm not uncomfortable if you're not, besides, I don't exactly know how to use all this fancy stuff." I said.
She blushed a little, but stayed so I would be more comfortable. She closed her eyes as I finished undressing to slip into the steaming water. I sighed as I allowed the warmth to wash over me; this was so much better than some of the blistering ice baths I had had to take before.
I could see why she favored this way of doing it. I watched as she left me for a moment and came back with a small bowl in which she said she would use to rinse me with. I thought about dunking my head underneath the water to get it wet, but I decided to let her do instead. I took in her sweet scent as she bent over me to gently pour water over my head to drench my hair, her long fingers sweeping through my long mane to prepare it for the shampoo.
The shampoo she used was less flowery than some others she had used before, but still very pleasant. I gave in and purred against my better judgement as she lovingly washed my hair and then my back as well.
"Thank you, Kagome." I choked out.
She smiled. "I thought of something nice I could do for you to help you sleep so you won't be uncomfortable here. I can give you a massage when you get out if you want." she said.
"A massage?" I asked.
She blushed again. "Yes. You've been so nice to me for so long, I guess I want to return the favor, plus I have some really nice eculyptus lotion I've been wanted to use for awhile." she said.
"That would be nice, Kagome, and I'll return the favor if you want too." I said.
For the remander of the bath, she sat and watched me as I cleaned myself, the two of us familiar enough with each other not to worry about being so close to each other. I noticed her look at me with curiousity when I washed my lower body, trying her best not to stare. I wasn't embarrassed, I didn't mind her checking out my physique. It was true that I was of average height with a slender build, but I was fairly built from my rugged lifestyle and had only been close to a few of the opposite sex in my lifetime.
None of them had ever made me feel the way Kagome does; I had to reign myself from revealing my physical need for her as I got out of the bath, shook myself off and got dressed to the waist. Kagome came up behind me and wrapped a towel around me, drying my shoulders and then my hair. She was so gentle with me, yet got the job done throughly. Her gentle touches were the second of my weaknesses, I found them as hard to resist as she was.
She led me into her bedroom and asked me to lay down on her futon mattress while she retrieved her massage lotion. What was funny was that I was actually a little nervous about what she was about to do to me. I forced myself to try to relax and allowed my stiff shoulders to rest. She came back in and smiled at me, taking in the slope of my exposed back. I had thrown my hair to the side to allow her better access and this seemed to please her. I wasn't sure how to respond as she sat down on the bed next to me.
"I can either kneel beside you and do this or I can sit on your hips, that's up to you." she said.
"Whichever way is easiest for you, Kagome." I said.
She smiled and straddled my hips, increasing our contact by having to pull up her nightgown up to her knees. I had felt her body heat before when we had held each other for warmth as we slept, but it had been nothing like this. I could feel the soft skin of her inner thighs brsuhing up against my exposed midsection. I felt her lean towards me a little and begin to smooth on the lotion. I yelped and arched my back from the sudden coldness of it.
"Oh I'm sorry, Inuyasha, I thought I had warmed it up for you." she said.
"I'm sorry too, it was just unexpected. Please continue." I said.
At my words, she proceeded to continue what she had been doing, her gentle, feminine fingers easing my tense neck and shoulders into submission. I couldn't help myself; I was purring loudly now and I didn't care if she heard me or not. I loved the way she took her time rubbing in the lotion, carressing all my weary muscles, she seemed to be enjoying it as much as I was. Again I would catch her enticing body scent and it would rive me wild with desire for her. I was just glad that I was laying on my stomach because she would have been shocked otherwise.
"Are you asleep, Inuyasha?" she asked.
"No. Should I be?" I asked.
She smiled. "I guess I've heard that people usually fall asleep during massages because they feel so relaxed." she said.
"Well, I definitely feel relaxed, but I can't imagine how anyone could fall asleep if you were touching them, Kagome." I told her.
She was silent then, unsure of how to respond. I sat up and faced her, hoping that smiling at her would make her feel less anxious.
"I can return the favor if you want." I told her.
She thought about it for a moment before she agreed to let me do it. She asked me to avert my eyes as she shrugged off her nightgown and put on a short skirt to cover herself below the waist. She held a blanket against her chest so not to expose herself to me.
I smiled, hoping she would relax a little and took the lotion from her. This concept was a little foreign to me, so I timidly opened the top and only squeezed out a little of the creamy substance. I rubbed it into my own hands to warm it first, slowly easing it onto her bare shoulders.
I had to stifle a groan when she responded to my touch, her dark hair sweeping away from her neck. My hands unconsciously went there to carress her, my long claws grazing her soft pink skin.
I saw goosebumps begin to rise all over her and I began to rub her vigourously in case it was from being cold. Returning to her neck, I could feel her pulse thudding away against my fingers and I wanted so desperately to kiss her there. I decided to give in halfway to my urge and I felt her take in her breath when she felt my breath there. I couldn't help but notice her grip on the blanket had loosened a little and I could see just a glimpse of her trembling chest. Her scent was sending me all the signals to become one with her, and my excitement because of this was becomign painfully evident.
"Why did you stop, Inuyasha? That felt really good." she told me.
I was embarrassed at my own overwhelming urges for her, unable to speak. She turned and faced me then, concern in her eyes. She reached out and touched my face, my gold eyes looking up into her soulful ones. I don't think she even had any idea how she affected me, her small gesture touched me so deeply.
"Kagome..." I whispered.
I could resist her no longer. I closed the space between us by leaning in towards her and brushing my lips against hers. She seemed a little startled at first, but returned the kiss, her soft lips pressing against mine. I saw her begin to blush as we finally parted.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you." I told her.
"It's okay. You didn't embarrass me, I just didn't expect you to do that." she said.
she stood then and retrieved her discarded nightgown, returning to sit down beside me. She smiled and rested her head agianst my arm, her fingers playing with the ends of my hair.
"Thank you for the massage, Inuyasha. I have to admit that I had goosebumps all over while you were doing that." she said.
I smiled. "Really?" I asked.
She blushed again. "You always make me feel that way, Inuyasha. That's why I didn't mind you kissing me." she said.
It was my turn to blush this time. "I don't know what to say, Kagome." I said.
She smiled. "Then don't say anything at all." she told me.
I shrugged off the outer parts of my heavy costume in preparation for the bath. She sprinkled some white powder intot he tub as it filled up, tellinf me it was to relieve any itches I might have, if any, before she remembered my claws were good for that sort of thing.
