Inuyasha was having a hard time concentrating. He was supposed to be leading them back to the village, but Kagome's proximity kept short-circuiting his thought processes. It didn't help when she insisted on shifting against his back, which would cause her soft flesh to rub delicately along his claws. Her bosom was pressed against the muscular planes of his back, and it took an unbelievable amount of self-control to keep running.
'She hates you remember? You're just a beast of burden, a guard dog. Nothing more,' Inuyasha's mind assured him adamantly.
'Oh really, then what's that growing wet spot on your lower back? And that heavy scent right above you?'
Inuyasha screeched to a halt. His sensitive nose acquired the scent of arousal, but not just anyone's arousal. Kagome was positively dripping lust.
'Feh. She's probably horny for that newcomer. He's human enough if you forget that tail. He even looks like he comes from the same time,' his mind argued.
'Feh. You're as stupid as you look if you believe that. Because that would mean that she does like half-breeds. Which would mean that I'm still right, and you're still throwing away your chances with her,' his heart retorted smugly.
"Shut the fuck up you two," Inuyasha growled, shaking his head in an attempt to clear away the distracting thoughts.
Overhead, Gohan came to a halt. "We weren't talking!" Gohan snarled, his own mind and heart in a noisy discussion.
'Tell her! She will accept you for what you are,' Gohan's heart was badgering him to tell Videl all about his past.
'Of course. You're the half-human, half-alien son of the world's greatest fighter, Goku, who just happens to be an alien. You, your father, and various others have come together to save the Earth time and again under the name, the Z senshi. You are the true winner of the Cell games, even though you would have been ten years old at the time. Oh yes, she's really gonna believe all of that,' his mind snapped angrily.
'She just saw your tail, and she's still drenching your gi. I think you have a great chance,' his heart contended.
"Let's just get this over with," Gohan sighed, tired of his mind and heart bickering. If only Videl would stop emitting that damn lustful aroma. And would she stop moving and grazing his tail!
Inuyasha ground out a sharp "Feh" as he turned and bounded off again.
Videl was almost in heaven. She was pressed tightly against Gohan's back, her chest molding itself to his muscular curves. His hands had her thighs in a reassuringly tight grip, and his ki flared around them, keeping her warm. Heat swirled and pooled in her lower abdomen, causing a most embarrassing wetness in the apex of her thighs. That area ached and itched, longing to rub itself against Gohan, and she tried to subtly fulfill those urges. She subtly arched her back as if she were stretching, pressing her womanhood against the strong muscles at the base of his tail.
Gohan almost dropped out of the sky as the sensation raced through his body. His tail snapped up to wrap tightly around Videl's right thigh, locking her into her current position. The tip of his tail brushed eagerly against her dampness. Gohan's lustful growl vibrated throughout his body, causing his tail to brush violently against Videl's core.
'Control, control, Gohan!' he mentally muttered as he pried his tail off of Videl. "Sorry about that, Videl, my tail kinda has a mind of its own sometimes," he grinned sheepishly. 'It wants to fuck you as much as I do … ACK stop that!'
Videl smirked quietly into his back, 'You can't hide from me, Gohan. I'll find out all of your secrets soon enough.'
Kagome was dying. Each time Inuyasha's muscles flexed beneath her, her body wound tighter and tighter, coiling in to a point in her lower abdomen. She could feel herself growing damp, and it was all she could do not to jump every time Inuyasha's claws grazed the back of her knees. She was so intent on the sensations between her thighs that she never noticed her left hand straying towards his left ear, gently stroking the base and outer ridge.
Inuyasha's purr started from low in his chest, growing until it rumbled through both of them. The vibrations twisted Kagome's body into an even tighter spiral of desire.
"Stop that!" Inuyasha snapped, as he twisted his ear out of her reach. 'Bitch,do you know how close I am to throwing you onto the ground and … FEH!'
Kagome withdrew her hand slowly, willing away the tears. 'He may hate me, but I can't let him go without telling him how I feel!'
The two couples continued onto the village in silence.
A short time later, Gohan and Videl sat in the center of a small hut, having told their story to an old woman named Kaede, a monk who Gohan swore was even more lecherous than Master Roshi, and a demon hunter with the most oversized boomerang Videl had ever seen. Inuyasha distanced himself from everyone else by sitting in the doorway while Kagome absentmindedly tickled Shippou, intent on her own thoughts.
"This is most interesting," Miroku pondered aloud, "I would have thought that Kagome and Inuyasha were the only ones able to travel freely through wells, and even then they are only capable of doing so when the Shikon no Tama is present."
Videl warily watched the monk's hand as it twitched, the monk obviously unable to keep it from groping her. Again. Sango's boomerang swiftly dropped onto the monk's head, saving Videl the trouble of pounding it in. Videl returned to the conversation as Kaede asked Gohan a question.
"Answer me this, Gohan. Was there to be a full moon in your time?"
Gohan thought carefully, then shook his head, "I don't really know Kaede-sama. You see, the moon was destroyed in my dimension many years ago." 'But my every instinct tells me that there will be a full moon within the next few days. And now, with my tail back … ' Gohan stared blankly at the floor.
Kaede narrowed her eyes, carefully gauging Gohan's reaction to her next question, "Has your world ever had any problems with saruyoukai? Giant monkeys?"
Gohan fervently wished that the floor would open up and swallow him. He managed to keep his gaze in the general direction of the nosy old woman's face as he replied, "I have never heard of anything of the sort. Why?"
Inuyasha sniffed loudly as he smelt the fear in Gohan's aura. "You're lying half-breed," he uttered sharply. Everyone in the room focused their attention on the growling hanyou and the cowering newcomer.
Videl watched as anger and fear scampered across Gohan's face. She knew that Gohan was lying. "Gohan, doesn't your family live near where they say a giant ape monster once roamed? And that well wasn't really far from your house. Besides, the annual Full Moon Madness celebration was going to take place in 3 days. That's the celebration we hold every year to commemorate the last time the moon was ever seen," she explained to the audience in the hut.
Gohan really wished that he wasn't so in love with Videl. He really wanted to snap her neck.
Inuyasha was suddenly in Gohan's face. The fear he felt rolling off of Gohan was similar to the fear he oozed every time the New Moon appeared. He grudgingly admitted that he felt a sense of kinship with this new hanyou.
"Just talk. It's not like any of us won't believe you." After all that Inuyasha and the others had seen in the past two years, he was sure that nothing could faze him.
Gohan suddenly felt tired. He'd been keeping the secret for so long, and in two seconds, a half-breed, supposedly like him, had found out that he was lying. If Videl glared any harder at him, he'd probably have a hole in the back of his head. And at the moment, he just didn't care.
So he talked. And talked. And talked.
He started with his father's adventures, running through the arrival of his uncle and then Nappa and Vegeta. He vividly recalled the events on Namek, and the arrival of the androids. He stuttered through the Cell Games, refusing to meet the shocked look on Videl's face as he detailed his father's death and the final defeat of Cell by his hands. He talked till the sky lightened to the grey-blue of dawn.
Inuyasha wished he'd shut up.
'What the hell is with this hanyou? Aliens? Planets? Dragonballs? And the girl looks like it's the first time she's hearing these things. I thought we were doing strange things!'
If Inuyasha was stunned, Videl was totally flattened.
'Kami! Or is it Dende? I mean, whatever! If Gohan is telling the truth, he's the great Son Goku's son! And all of the Son and Briefs males are gold warriors! And all of the gold warriors are aliens! Or at least part-aliens. But Dad says that they're just fakes…but Gohan says he destroyed Cell! If he did, why didn't he and the Z senshi challenge my dad? Argh, I don't know what to believe!'
Kaede sat through the whole story, nodding as if she understood everything.
"Your stories about your father allow me to understand something that happened many many years ago.
On a full moon night, a giant ape youkai, an Oozaru, as you call it, came from that same glade where the well is situated. It raged in that forest for the entire night, destroying many trees. It was two steps away from the village when dawn broke. As the sun cleared the sky, the beast began to shrink. By the time I and the other warriors reached the area, nothing was there but a naked, sleeping child."
Gohan really didn't like where this conversation was going.
"The child was unremarkable except for three visible things: his hair, which shot off in all directions and could not be tamed by any comb," Gohan was slowly turning a deep shade of red that no one save Inuyasha saw.
"A monkey tail that seemed to be extremely sensitive," death by Frieza would have been preferable to the way Videl was now looking at the demi-Saiyan.
"And teeth that were much larger than any normal child's own."
Gohan mentally recited every curse he had ever learned from Krillin, Piccolo, and Vegeta as images of chibi Goku danced in his head. Why, oh why, did his father have so many adventures in his youth? Couldn't he stay still as a brat? Kaede continued, oblivious to the boy's discomfort.
"We realized him to be a youkai child, but he was like Shippou, very cute and naive. We took care of him after he woke up, and he helped clear the damage with his inhuman strength, although his appetite nearly cost us that year's harvest. On the evening of the next full moon, I blindfolded him, because I suspected that the moon triggered his youkai transformation. He seemed too young to control his powers yet, and the village could not afford another disaster. The day after that, he left to go play in the clearing he emerged from, but he never returned. I believe this is your father, Goku?"
Gohan nodded wearily.
"Sounds like my dad. He did a lot of wandering before he met Bulma."
Sango came out of her deep reverie, snapping her fingers as she pried the monk's hand off her hip with her weapon.
"Of course! The well you came through is a fabled Time Well. It is said that these wells only work at certain times of the month, or year, to open doors into new worlds from this side. You are fortunate that the well you came through works every month!"
Videl liked this girl's enthusiasm, and the way she managed to clobber the monk before his hands could roam, "So that means Gohan and I can go home in 4 days!"
Kaede nodded sagely. "Yes, as it seems that time flows the same way in your world and ours. Now, with that settled, I would like to offer you and your companion lodgings in a hut at the end of the village …"
Gohan swore that everyone could read his terror-stricken eyes. 'Me, and Videl, alone, in a hut, for three days!' Before Videl could agree, he spoke out.
"That is not necessary, Kaede-sama. I can sleep just fine in a nearby tree, or something. I prefer the forest to a building any day. I can't sleep around so many snoring people," Gohan apologized profusely.
Inuyasha shot a brief,humorous gaze at Gohan before he turned away to stand up.
"Feh. We can share the God Tree then, and let the bitches share the room." He pointed out Kagome and Videl with his chin.
Kagome had to grind her teeth to stop herself from sitting the arrogant dog demon till his neck snapped. As it was, she couldn't stop the five she snapped out before turning to the others in the hut.
"As amazing as it sounds, I actually agree with you Inuyasha. If you don't mind Videl?"
"It's not a problem for me. Lead me to it, before I fall asleep on my feet," Videl replied as she stood yawning and swaying.
Kagome grabbed Videl's hand and calmly stepped over the semi-comatose form of Inuyasha in the doorway.
"Since you're from a more modern time, I'll finally have someone to complain with about the lack of a good blow-dryer!"
Giggles marked the passage of the young bitches … women, as they went through the village to the guest hut.
"Bitch …" came out as an unearthly groan as Inuyasha crawled to his feet. Gohan tried to assist him, despite the huge sweat drop currently covering the left side of his head.
"Uhm, how about we go to this God Tree," Gohan suggested, mischief slowly creeping into his voice. "I'll race ya!"
Inuyasha's ears perked at the thought of a race, but his face remained impassive as he replied.
"Only if you keep your feet on the ground. No racing on top or over the trees."
"A footrace, huh? No problem, you're on!"
"The tree is straight over there," Inuyasha said as he pointed to the God Tree that towered over all the others, "Ready … HEY YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WAIT TILL I SAY GO!!!"
Inuyasha shot after the dark blue blur that was Gohan, muttering all the way about damn cheating strangers.
