Chapter 19: The Sexgod-Dess
Shio pulled the red beaded necklace out from around his neck. At one end, a huge chunk of the shikon jewel sat, on the other end, was a seashell stuffed with herbs. He looked up at the hanyo sitting across from him. "You sure you wanna do this man? You know what they say, loose lips sink ships."
Inu Yasha nodded with a determined look on his face. "Hit me."
Shio sighed, "Okay, don't say I didn't warn you," he held up the chain and swung the little sea shell back and forth in front of him. Miroku and Sango sat nearby watching.
"What's that?" Sango asked, referring to the seashell on the chain.
"It's a hoobie, used for low level hypnotism." Shio replied. Then he turned his attention on the spell at hand. "Inu Yasha….watch the hoobie……..you will go into a state of total obedience…….you're mind will be still, yet open……..and you will listen to my instructions…….." Shio snapped his fingers and Inu Yasha's eyes glazed.
Miroku and Sango went 'ooh' and 'ahh'.
"Alright," Shio said in a clear voice. "When I snap my fingers once more, you will wake up, and you will not be able to tell a lie at all. When you start trying to tell a lie, you will tell the truth instead, whether you like it or not."
Miroku leaned forward and Sango held her breath.
Shio raised his fingers to snap them when all of a sudden, Sango asked, "That's it?"
Shio paused and looked back at her. "What do you mean?" Miroku looked back at her as well.
"I mean," Sango said, "I'm kind of disappointed, I would have thought you were going to have him do something weird like make him quack like a duck whenever someone says the word banana, or make him a sexgod like you!"
Shio blinked then smiled and turned to her. "Listen – Babe – I've seen Inu Yasha as a sexgod before, and let me tell you, if you think I'm hot, he would melt you in your sandals. If he were still on the same path as me, he would be a great enchanter."
"Really?" Miroku asked.
"Yeah!" Shio said like it was obvious. "I mean, I'm still trying to catch up to his record prostitute count!"
Sango covered her mouth with her hand and exchanged looks with Miroku.
Shio snapped his fingers and Inu Yasha blinked. "Did you do it yet?" the hanyo asked.
"Yep."
"What about you, Shio?" Inu Yasha asked. "I don't think I've ever seen you go without sex for a whole month."
"I can do it!" Shio said with a confident smile.
"You have a plan to back that statement up with?" Inu Yasha asked.
"The power of masturbation my friend!" Shio said, holding up a determined fist. "I've never done it, but I'm sure it's just like the real thing!"
Everyone gave him a funny look just as Kagome came running over. "Hey! Have any of you seen Sumiko this morning??"
They didn't.
"Well, she's not in her bed, and I can't find her anywhere!" Kagome said worriedly.
"Did she go off into the forest?" Sango asked.
"I don't know." Kagome said.
So Inu Yasha and Shio went sniffing around for her. Sango, Kirara, and Miroku searched in the air, and Kagome and Shippou waited at camp to see if Sumiko would come back on her own.
"Wasn't Sumiko-san sick last night?" Miroku asked.
"Yeah, I hope she's okay." Sango said.
Shio and Inu Yasha were sniffing around a clearing when Shio picked up her scent, but it was different somehow.
Miroku's body jolted in shock causing Sango to look back at him. He looked down at the ground superstitiously. "I sense an evil presence nearby." He said.
As soon as Shio got the scent, Inu Yasha followed. They started in that direction. Strange though how her scent was different from last night. Usually Sumiko smelled sweet. Like a kitsune female who rolled around in a field of daisies and liked to eat cinnabuns. But this smell was different. It was hard to describe. It was as if the daisies turned into the most exotic, sensual perfume. The sweetness was stronger….the cinnabun turned into hot candy pieces. And she definitely did not smell like a child at all. The boys actually liked the smell or were interested in it at least, that's mainly what drew them toward it. It was almost as if she were in heat….
Soon the scent took them to the small thin waterfall. On a rock in the middle of the stream which was filled with the whitest prettiest lilies, Sumiko sat in a meditative pose with her back to them, not moving as they approached.
"There she is!" Shio said.
"That's good." Inu Yasha said and they called the other's over.
It made no difference that the others came as well. She stayed in her meditative sitting style.
They watched her as she didn't move. Kagome took a step toward her holding a small bottle of medicine. "Sumiko? Sumiko dear, what are you doing?"
After a few moments, Sumiko replied in an unusually sultry voice. "Cleansing the mind and healing the spirit, Kagome-chan." She didn't turn around or move, and everyone else seemed to confused to move.
Kagome tried again. "Sumiko I have some yummy medicine here for you! It'll help you feel-"
"I don't need it." Sumiko said plainly. Something about her voice seemed to try and charm their minds. If was as if her voice box was filled with an enchantress's magic.
"What do you mean you don't need it??" Inu Yasha stepped forward to help. "You were practically on your deathbed last night! You expect us to believe that-"
"I don't need it." Sumiko shook her head with a calm, easy, enchanting tone of voice.
"P-please Sumiko." Kagome said. "Just take the medicine, even if you might think your better there's a chance you're still sick!"
A low, dark chuckle was heard, and Sumiko shook her head. She stood up still facing away from them. "Still sick? You think…that Sumiko the sex god-dess is still sick, do you?"
They watched her, not making a sound. Shippou shivered hugging Kagome. She was so scary. He put his face into Kagome's hair, hoping Sumiko would stop.
Then as if Sumiko had eyes on the back of her head she replied, "Why do not be afraid, my friends, especially you Shippou."
Shippou gave a small scared cry and whispered into Kagome's hair. "Kagome, make her stop!"
"Don't be afraid anymore, Shippou." Sumiko said in a cool sexy voice. "I don't need medicine. In fact, I've never felt better." Sumiko turned around to prove she was right. Her skin was no longer yellowed and clammy, but it was pale and fair as the moon, and her cheeks were rosy and pink as passion. Her lips were ruby red and appeared soft as a rose. Her eyelashes seemed longer then usual; they framed her half lidded suggesting eyes, which flickered with exotic mischievousness. She was beautiful…and oh she knew it……..
"Holy shit." Shio's eyes popped when she turned around.
Shippou peeked at her from Kagome's hair and blushed lightly.
Miroku had similar effects to Shio, except his jaw had dropped. If Sumiko weren't a gorgeous femme fettle, he probably would have been able to figure out that the evil aurora he had been sensing was coming from her. But that was part of Sumiko's spell, to confuse his priestly intuition. Inu Yasha found himself staring interestedly as well.
The first one to find their voice was Miroku. "L-lady Sumiko!" he stuttered. "You-you seem a bit different."
She turned her eyes over in his direction. Completely ignoring the woman of the group, who were not effected so to Sumiko they weren't worth it, she glanced from the priest, to the hanyo, to the fox child, to Shio. She smiled so it almost looked like she were puckering her lips. "What can I say? I must have had a change of heart."
She increased her power ever so slightly, which caused Miroku to give a double blink and she could sense at least two erections among the men. She continued to smile. "Though I do feel much better, I only came out here to cleanse my mind and do a bit of thinking." She walked over toward Miroku. "A very sexy priest, are we not, Miroku? Who doesn't love a man who looks good in black." She cupped his chin in her hand and his eyes flashed quickly, yet no one saw this but her. She leaned forward and kissed him slowly. He responded back eagerly.
Sango's eyes popped, Kagome looked uncomfortable, Kirara tilted her head to the side, and the other guys looked on hungrily. Sumiko pulled away from Miroku's lips and licked her own. She let go of his chin and he almost fell over. "Though a preist is good, maybe I want something a little stronger," She turned her head to look at Inu Yasha and said in a low sexy tone. "A little bader."
He swallowed a lump in his throat as she came over, and watched her like a hungry cat watching the birds. "Yes, the big bad half demon, Inu Yasha. Who is not only skilled with the sword, but as complex and bad ass as his hair is long." She cupped his chin in her hand and his eyes flashed briefly. "What do you say, hanyo?" she whispered. "How "big" is your sword?" she leaned forward and kissed him. His eyes became half lidded and glassy until she pulled away again. "Or perhaps, maybe I should go with my own kind instead."
"She let go of Inu Yasha's chin and he stood looking dazed as she started over toward Shippou on Kagome's shoulder. "I bet Shippou will make a very powerful demon someday. He'll know how to please a woman." She cupped Shippou's chin in her hand. Shippou's eyes flashed, he blushed and puckered for a long kiss. But instead, Sumiko made it a cute kiss, the kind your mother gives you. She smoothed the hair of the disappointed kit and winked at him to make him happy again. Kagome looked at Sumiko in disbelieving shock.
"On second thought, Shippou is very young." Sumiko said, she stood still facing toward Shippou and Kagome. Kagome hugged Shippou and backed away with him protectively. "Yes, a real man. One who knows everything a person needs to know about love." Sumiko said. She spun around to face Shio.
He licked his lips suggestively at her. She came walking over. "Shio, you have nothing to be sorry for, so fear not my sadness anymore."
He nodded, as if not caring about anything but her taste at the moment. She cupped his chin in her hand, and his eyes flashed. He closed his eyes and waited for her to sink her lips into him. She leaned forward and released her hot breath over his lips, then looked at him with half lidded eyes, thinking to herself, 'I could kill you right now, Foxman, you wouldn't have a clue.'
She turned her head without kissing him at all and walked away from him. He watched her walk in an overwhelming crave. Sumiko looked back at all of them. "When you're all through playing 'search party' I'll be at camp. Later." She walked off, not in her ususal kid walk, but swinging her hips, walking like an enchantress would if you could imagine it so.
After she left, Sango and Kagome were kind of dumbfounded.
"Well!" Sango put her hands on her hips in shock and confusion.
"What happened to our little Sumiko?!" Kagome asked.
Shio shivered loudly and said, "Mercy!" he started back for camp followed by the other guys. Sango and Kagome rolled their eyes and followed.
