Golly, I am so greatful for all the support and incredible patience of all of you. I love you all. I am happy to say that Alysha Faye and I are doing just fine. I'm due in early June, so expect a lull around then. I have been so incredibly bored and Ideas have been practically bursting out of my brain. I just wanted to thank all of you for being so wonderful.
And I've changed my mind, sorry. I'm not going to write a lemon-lemon because I just can't get into it. But the rating is still in place for some lemon content.
Kagome sighed in contentment as she sank into the hot water. It soothed her sore muscles and calmed her mind.
Heavenly.
She dug in a small pouch she'd brought with her and pulled out a small tube of antiseptic ointment. She frowned when she realized she was running low on some essential items in her fanny pack. This was one of them.
Regretfully leaving the comfort of the pool, Kagome hauled herself up onto the shore so she could properly see. She winced when she saw the scratch spanning across her torso. Thankfully it wasn't deep, just long and ugly. She uncapped the ointment and nearly gagged when the scent hit her nose. It reeked! It had never bothered her before...
Oh yeah. Damn that spell! And Inuyasha too. Things were much less complicated when she WASN'T suffering the side-effects of a weird spell that gave her unwanted abilities. Abilities bit the big one!
Grimacing, she dabbed the stuff on her index finger. This was gonna hurt, she already knew. She spared a brief moment of exasperation that she had not gotten Inuyasha's healing powers also. One of his abilities that would have been useful and it had passed her over. Irony bit too.
Splashing on the other side of the huge boulder seperating the two areas of the hotspring caught her attention. Must be Inuyasha. Wrapping a towel around herself, she climbed up the big rock, just so she could be sure it WAS Inuyasha.
She peeked over the top just in time to get a full frontal view. Oh yes, it was definitely Inuyasha. Her eyes widened and she gasped. Then she lost her footing on the slippery surface and fell backwards. Hot water filled her mouth, cutting off her shriek. She came up choking and sputtering and the sight of Inuyasha's naked body burned forever in her memory. And when she finally got herself in order she looked up and found herself staring into a pair of amused amber eyes.
"Get a good look?" Inuyasha asked, from very close to her face. Thankfully, he'd quickly donned the pants of his kimono. "I am" he fairly purred.
Kagome gaped. What had gotten into him? She felt a draft on her back and shivered. Wait... a draft?
She gasped and belatedly realized she'd lost her towel in the tumble from the rock. She crossed her arms and dropped into the water, blushing furiously. "What are you doing?" she cried for lack of something better to say.
"Keh. Saving you from drowning yourself. What were you doing on that rock anyway?"
"I wanted to see who was splashing around." she answered, sounding petulant even to her own ears. Great, all she needed was to act like a spoiled brat around someone who would TELL her she was acting like a spoiled brat.
"Miroku sealed the area around us remember?"
"Oh yeah... I forgot..."
There was a decidedly awkward silence then.
"Inuyasha?"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"Do you... ugh! Nevermind."
"Do I what?" he persisted. Why was she blushing?
"I was just wondering if... you ever felt different on nights like tonight. During a full moon." she elaborated bluntly.
"..." Inuyasha blinked three times in rapid succession as if he didn't know what to make of her question.
"Because I do. Feel different. I've been feeling odd for a few days but it's worse tonight. I feel... It's kind of like hunger, but I just ate and it's still there. And I also feel like you're the only one that can make it go away." She turned confused and fever bright eyes at him. "Make it go away!"
And suddenly she was kissing him. A real, honest, needy kiss. Heat rushed through Inuyasha and he sifted his claws through her hair and pulled her head closer, made the kiss deeper.
The fact that she was naked and wet madse the fire burn hotter. He was seconds away from shedding his pants and taking her right there in the water. He breathed in her aroma, hungry for the intoxicating scent.
But another smell assaulted his nostrils and he jerked his head up. He positioned Kagome to the side of him away from the direction the smell was emanating from.
"Inuyasha?" Her desperate breathless voice questioned .
"Shh!"
It was an odor he'd recognize anywhere. Of earth and bones and death.
Kikyo. It was Kikyo. And she had gotten past Miroku's sutras.
Well I really hope you liked that after waiting so long. I promise to TRY to get another Chapter out soon, but I'm under strict doctors orders to get lots of rest, and my boyfriend is taking that very seriously.
Until the next time, Ja ne!
