They water looked cool and inviting. She quickly removed her clothes and slipped into the crystal waters of the pool. It was surprisingly deep and it came up at least three inches below her shoulders. As soon as her injured hands entered the water, the pain subsided.

She took her hands out of the water and inspected the damage that had been done. There were very bad burns on her hands.

"Well, that's going to leave a scar," said Kotori, laughing to herself, "I'll have to put some medicine on these when I get back."

She slipped deeper into the water and closed her eyes, her amber colored hair floated gracefully around her.

"This is so relaxing. I haven't been able to do this for a long time. Now, what would make this even more perfect is if a certain monk was here...." thought Kotori. She smiled to herself. Thinking about Miroku made her blush. "How can I think of doing such a thing with him? I'm a priestess and I shouldn't be thinking such things. Even though I'd love to see him naked... No! I mustn't think about that!"

Suddenly, she heard a rustling, then small a splash, then a pair of lips met hers and a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her bare waist. She quickly opened her eyes to discover that Miroku was holding her in his arms. He ended the kiss and smiled.

"What are you doing in here, Miroku?" asked Kotori, looking around her to see if anyone was watching.

"You said you'd love to see me naked, and here I am." replied Miroku, grinning.

"Oh no! I must have said that last thought out loud!" thought Kotori.

"Besides," he continued, "I love you, Kotori. Did you really want me to pass up this opportunity to be alone with you?"

She smiled, "No, I guess not."

He kissed her again, his hands ran up and down her back and lightly caressed her slender hips. She placed her hands on his chest and she could feel the muscles ripple beneath his creamy skin. She could feel his heart beating fast in his chest, and she realized that her own heart matched his in tempo.

"Should I stop this before it goes any farther?" thought Kotori to herself.

She felt his hand move to caress her stomach, then to her right breast. She moaned into his mouth and he smiled.

"Oh Gods! This is torture! Why must you do this to me now, Miroku? If Shigure finds out he'll be furious," she thought, "Wait, why am I worrying about what Shigure wants? It's what I want that matters, and right now what I want is Miroku."

His fingers played with her nipple, making it hard. She wanted him just as bad as he wanted her. The timing was perfect. He nibbled on her neck and listened to her moan.

"Kotori, no matter what anyone says or thinks, I truly do love you." thought Miroku.

His curious hand went lower to caress her inner thigh and then to her sacred womanhood. The place she had tired to protect for so many years.

"Miroku my love, I'm giving you something that I have not willingly given to any other man." thought Kotori, but her thoughts were lost in another wave of pleasure.

"All the Gods in the heavens I beg you! Let me do this right! I love her more than life itself. She is my only love." prayed Miroku.

His fingers stroked the outer lips of her womanhood, making her shudder with pleasure. Then, his fingers entered her warm, moist depths. She cried out in pleasure as his fingers began to pump in and out of her. He put them in as far as they could go and she screamed in ecstasy as each sensitive nerve was triggered.

Suddenly, he felt a hand stroke his hard and erect member. Then, every thought he had was lost in a wave of extreme pleasure. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the movements of her hands on his manhood. He was rapidly approaching his climax, so he quickly stopped her.

"Did I do something wrong, Miroku?" asked Kotori, looking hurt.

"Oh no, everything you did was wonderful. If we're going to finish this though, we should probably get out of the water." said Miroku, grinning.

She smiled and lifted herself onto the bank on the pond. He looked at her naked body, taking in every little detail. The way a few strands of wet hair clung to her shoulders, her shining, deep, blue eyes that stared at him with pure love, the mass of amber curls that protected the entrance to her womanhood, the center of all her unspoken pleasure. His manhood throbbed impatiently. He wanted her there and now.

Once his eyes had their fill of her, he slipped onto the bank of the pond and kissed her passionately. His tongue probed hers, tasting the familiar flavor of her mouth. He wrapped his arms around her and lowered her to the ground. She could feel his hot, hard member rub against her inner thigh and she moaned. Then she opened her legs wider to accept him.

He broke off the kiss and whispered in her ear, "This will hurt, but the pain will pass, my love."

She nodded and kissed him hard, wanting him so bad. He positioned himself outside the entrance to her womanhood and swiftly thrust into her. She let out a small cry and tears began to stream down her face.

He kissed her again, wiping the tears away, "The pain only lasts for a little while, my love." She nodded.

He had noticed when he thrust into her that her barrier wasn't all there. "She must have been raped before, but he didn't push all the way through. How painful that must have been. I'll try to give her as much pleasure as I can to make up for when she lost her virginity." thought Miroku.

He waited a few moments for her to adjust to his size, then he began to thrust in and out of her slick womanhood. He groaned as her inner walls contracted around him.

"Harder!" cried Kotori. Obeying her command, he began to thrust faster and harder into her, moaning loudly.

As his climax approached, he thrust as fast and as hard as he could into her. Then, in a split second, he lost control and spilled his hot seed into her womb.

"Kotori!" he shouted as he rode the waves of pure ecstasy that were coursing through his body.

"Miroku!" Kotori cried out as she, too, climaxed.

He collapsed on top of her, both breathing heavily. Beads of sweat formed on their bodies and slowly fell to the green grass below them. He laid his head on her chest, trying to catch his breath.

When he did, he said, "Kotori, I love you more than life itself. I would die for you a thousand times over if it meant your happiness."

She stroked his head with one hand, "I love you too, Miroku. I would do anything for you."

He sat up and looked deeply into her ocean blue eyes. "When all this business with Naraku is over, will you become my wife?"

She looked at him in surprise at first, but then she smiled, "Of course, my love. Anything for you."

He smiled and kissed her passionately, then they fell asleep, exhausted from their activities. They woke up an hour later, and decided that it was time to get back to the village. They quickly washed themselves in the pond and hurried in the direction of the village. The stars glittered on the surface of the pond and a small pool of blood marked where their union had taken place.
