Chivalry

[The Lady]

I was lost in him. But, Miroku was holding back, something within me whispered. I did not want him to hold back, I wanted everything he could give me. I wanted Miroku, because his lips on mine made the electric power surging through me charge up and zing up and down my spine.

The power in me was calling for him. The power in me forced me to touch him, it forced me to be with him. The power in me wanted him. The power in me was beginning to take control of me.

I need him.

Miroku began to pull away from me. I could not take the sudden loss of power. I pushed myself closer to him, and he seemed to understand. I suddenly felt his tongue on my lips and I moaned, giving him what he asked for. I started to whimper, when I felt his weight on top of me. I was too far-gone.

[The Gentleman]

I felt frenzied and lost, angry and calm. I could not understand what was going on, but I never questioned. I could no longer stand the crazed feeling that was coming over me. I felt my body slowly ease over hers. I was too far-gone.

For a moment, it was a lustful paradise. My tongue had seized her mouth, and heat filled the air. Want and need surrounded us. I forgot who I was for a moment, and allowed myself some joy. I had not felt joy in awhile. I had not felt pleasure, of any sort, in awhile. I did not realize the movements that my fingers were making until I suddenly came back into myself. My hand was ever so close to the buttons on her top, and some of her beautiful chest was exposed.

I suddenly stopped all my movements, and analyzed the situation. I was currently on top of my young companion, kissing her like I was a diseased man and she was my cure. Her skimpy top was somewhat undone, and her face was bright with a strange glow. I felt strange power going back and forth between us. It was so tangible, although it could not be seen.

The feeling was strange enough for me to snap back into reality. Something was terribly off with the situation, and I was battling my needs to figure out what it was. The gentleman in me would not let this continue without some understanding and assurance that this was what Kagome truly wanted. I simply could not understand, and although parts of me did not want to.... that made the rest of me want to know all the more.

"Lady Kagome..." I began as I suddenly hopped up from my place above her. I took a moment to relish in what I could have had, before I grabbed her hand, and hauled her up off the ground. When my fingers came in contact with her skin, I felt weird...strangely attached to the girl. As if I only wanted to pull her further to me, rather than further away.

"Something is not right...surely you can feel it also?" My gaze landed on her, and I was somewhat surprised to see that the girl looked as if she were going crazy, as if she were trying to restrain herself.

"Yes, I feel it as well Miroku." she whispered breathlessly. I watched with a fascinated gaze as she fought off something. She looked almost as if she were in pain. But, I did nothing to help her, wanting to see how she continued to act.

"It is so embarrassing.... to say...but Miroku you must get away from me...as far as you can." I watched as she painfully tried to step away from me, which only made me grab her waist and pull her closer.

"Why? What is going on with you, Kagome? I should appreciate an answer. You are in pain."

"I-I..."

"Speak the truth Kagome." I warned. I've known her long enough to see a lie forming in her mind.

"I'm suddenly attracted to you...freakishly attracted. And, it's hard to control."

"I don't understand," she whispered. Instead of giving her an answer, I looked at her pain filled eyes, as she struggled with the strange...force that was doing this to her. I made an instant decision, and kissed her, once again feeling the power pounding within my veins.

"Why?" I whispered, "Are we suddenly so attracted to each other. Not that I did not find you appealing before, Lady Kagome…" I found myself struggling for the words that would not sound too offensive.

"I know what you are saying. It was never like this. Perhaps a spell? Perhaps, Naraku…"

"No. It is not that. I would know if it were him. This strange power I feel when I touch you, is deeper than that. Much deeper than that shallow lord."

She frowned, "You're right. The force that suddenly draws me to you is deeper than that. I still don't understand. Just wish it were yesterday, or the day before that. When I was still at home. No offense to you, Miroku, but while I was away, I felt nothing for you. It was only when I got back, and Inuyasha was away, and when you touched me."

"And, you've touched me a million times…"

"So, why the change?" I completed for her.

OoOoOoO

Later on…

The stars twinkled slowly, and for a moment they all seemed to blur together. They were so beautiful, but they were so distant. Miroku lay on his back, gazing up at them. Thinking. Today, he had done a terribly wonderful thing. He had kissed…nay connected with an untouchable. Kagome was, if nothing seemed to be untouchable.

She was Inuyasha's, without even realizing it. She could not be touched, and what was worse, she did not want to be touched. Until today. But, even today it was not as if she truly wanted to be touched.

Some type of power was controlling her, and he could feel it. It was toying with her. To any other person, her explanation of power would seem ridiculous, but Miroku understood. If a monk and miko could understand one thing, it was the importance of power.

So, the truth was, Kagome did not want him, the powers controlling her were. As much as he did not want to, Miroku would have to set her free. Miroku would have to help her overcome these sudden powers that were given to her. Because, there may be something or someone trying to once again break up the team.

"And, a torrid sexual relationship between Inuyasha's innocent woman, and the lowly, dirty minded Houshi would certainly break the group apart." I whispered bitterly. I was not allowed to even be in the presence of the innocent Kagome, the others feared I would corrupt her. I can never be with her.

I must free her…although I do not know how.

It is very sad really.

Because, I have not felt this way towards another since Sango.

I have not felt this way since before the war with Naraku.

I have not felt so good since before I lost my kazanna.

To let go of a woman that I do not even have yet.

To forget a feeling that I cannot forget because it is not proper.

What a situation!

It's very sad really.

End of chapter

I know. I know. This should be a lemon. I reread the story and came to that same conclusion, but I'm not completely sure if I want to write one.

I'm not really even sure of the difference between any of the citrus fruits…lemons…limes…mangos…what is with the fruit analogy?

Right now, everything is pretty much suggestive…so I've got time to decide. No graphic stuff until later or never.

And! No fruits of any kind…for now.

Your Captain!

PS…. I do have a comma fetish.

PPS Thanks for the reviews! Keep telling me what you think. And the difference between fruits…
