"Kagome's Puppy Troubles"
By Xio the Dog Demoness
Xio: Hi everyone!
Minnie: Xio's so happy you guys are okay with the Sesshy/Kuri pairing.
Xio: The focus of the story's on Kagome and InuYasha, but Sess and Kuri will end up with a lemon too. I'm thinking of a Sango/Miroku lemon, but I'm not so good with them. I'm probably gonna try, at least, but it won't be this chapter.
Minnie: And you call yourself a hentai…
Xio: Hey, I said I'd try… It's just that it's easier with InuYasha and Sesshomaru… -drool-
Minnie: She's doing it again… -sigh-
Xio: I'll do something a little different this chapter. I'm answering a review up here. Why? The answers are needed before the story.
Review: Dragon Man 180: They won't be allowed to go easy on the one they challenge. Their instincts wouldn't allow it. Don't worry though, InuYasha'll get it. Also, I will take care of the situation with Rin in the next chapter or so. Good questions and suggestions.
Xio: My lemons may not be that great… Don't be too upset… Enjoy the story! Ja Ne.
Disclaimer: If I owned them, don't you think you would have seen Kuri in the show at least once by now?
WARNING: This is the lemon chapter guys. No reading unless you're old enough or you're not gonna get me in trouble for this. I'd rather not lose my account…
SECOND WARNING: Sesshomaru will definitely be OOC. I won't have him act emotionless during the second lemon.

Point Of View
------------------------------Last time on Kagome's Puppy Troubles------------------------------
Kagome and Kuri stood in the middle of the clearing, when they were covered in golden light. When the light faded, Kagome and Kuri were inuyoukai, with humanoid form. The first thing you noticed is that both had silver dog ears on their heads. They both had tails as well, shaped like Koga's but longer and silver. Their tails reached down to their shins and were fluffy yet sleek. Kagome had silver hair with pink streaks, but Kuri's hair was silver with black streaks. Their hair went down to about mid-back. Kagome had green stripes on her face, wrists, hips, and ankles, and pink on her tail, where Kuri had blue stripes on her face, wrists, hips, and ankles with black stripes on her tail. (A/N: Like when she changed to her larger dog form before.) They both had natural light pink eye shadow. Their nails had grown into claws. Both had pink spheres on their foreheads, but Kagome's had a bow and arrow inside while Kuri's had angel wings on the inside. Both inuyoukai wore wearing simple white kimonos, but where Kagome's had cherries, Kuri's had jasmine blossoms.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
InuYasha and the rest looked on in shock as the jewel began glowing a bright pink. Two beams shot from the glow, forming two eerie featureless glowing pink inuyoukai. The glow died down to reveal the two inuyoukai's appearances. The two held the jewel in their hands as five blue shafts of light streaked out from it and spread through the sky. The jewel lost its color and shattered to dust.
InuYasha stared at the two youkai that had emerged from the jewel. "Kagome…? Kuri…? Is that you?"
Kagome looked at him with a smirk. "Use your nose, that's what it's there for!" she remarked with a grin.
InuYasha gave a good sniff. 'Cherries… Spring rain…? It's her!' "Kagome, what happened in the jewel?" he asked gruffly, trying to hide the fact that he was worried for her safety, but failing miserably. Kagome could see the relieved light in his eyes.
Shippo took a good look at her and jumped into her arms. "The green stripes look good on you Mommy." Kagome smiled and cuddled her adopted pup closer.
Rin ran to Kuri. "Kuri, is that you?"
Kuri smiled. "It's me Rin. I'm not a little puppy anymore." Suddenly Rin glomped Kuri's tail.
"It's so soft and cuddly!" squealed Rin with a happy smile. Kuri just smiled in return and wrapped her tail lightly around Rin. 'I feel like her mother… I want a child…' Kuri thought to herself.
Sesshomaru watched the two with a hidden smile. 'They look like mother and daughter. And Kuri doesn't smell as bad as some of the females trying to mate me… Jasmine and night… It suits her perfectly…'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kagome, well, we go into heat tomorrow, and I want you to know how you're gonna act. Inuyoukai challenge potential mates to test their worthiness and to see if they would help make strong pups. There are two forms of challenge: the chase and the fight. You will instinctively choose one once you come into heat. InuYasha will either have to beat or draw with you, or he will have to catch you. If he fails your challenge, you can challenge him until he succeeds, but your instincts aren't gonna allow you to go easy on him, or allow you to mate with him until he does succeed. Once you're out of heat, you can mate with him, but you won't be able to mate during your heat unless he is successful in either of your challenges. If he can succeed in one challenge though, you can mate as many times as you want."
Kagome looked worried. "So if he doesn't win, we can't…"
Kuri sighed. "You can't have pups until he successfully completes one of your challenges."
Kagome looked hard at Kuri. "What happens if he wins?"
Kuri blushed heavily as Kagome looked at her. "Well, if he wins… You two will go somewhere private, and well, you'll mate…" Kuri blushed harder as Kagome took on a shocked look, complete with cherry red blush.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh yeah, wonderful conversation… That would be really comfortable, asking Mr. Emotionless about my new youkai senses… Please Kuri, you were an inuyoukai before the jewel. Couldn't you please help me out?" Kagome gave her friend the infamous puppy-dog eyes, complete with pout and flattened ears. Her tail was even hanging down. Kuri sighed in defeat.
"Okay, what do you need to know?"
------------------------------This time on Kagome's Puppy Troubles------------------------------
Chapter Thirteen: The First Day
Kagome looked at Kuri. "So, I can smell emotions?"
"Yes. You should instinctively know what the emotion is. Try to identify this one." Kuri concentrated on the happiness she felt with Rin.
-sniff- -sniff- "Um… It smells… Kinda light, really… Happiness?" said Kagome. Kuri smiled and nodded. "Another please!"
Kuri concentrated on how she would feel if she was separated from Kagome and everyone else. (A/N: Yeah, Kagome, right…)
-sniff- "Sad, but not exactly so… Lonely, right?" Kuri nodded. They did a few more before quitting.
"So, I can hear for miles around, smell for a little farther, and see better than ever before… It's hard to believe…" Kagome looked in awe of her own claws.
"I know what you mean… I thought I'd be in dog form forever… But now I have a humanoid form! It's something most lower demons, like I was, always dream of…"
"So Kirara would like this change?" asked Kagome.
"I don't know… There are a few lesser demons that wouldn't change for anything…"
After Kuri taught Kagome everything she could of her new demon senses, they went back to camp. It was still very dark, so they crawled back into their spots and tried to go back to sleep. InuYasha cracked an eye open and looked at Kagome. 'She'll be in heat tomorrow… I have to ask her if I can try to complete her challenge… Or she might hate me when we mate…' (A/N: Oh so confident…) With that thought, InuYasha easily landed from his branch and leaned towards Kagome. Kagome's ears twitched as he landed and followed his movements, a clear sign of her wakefulness to one who knows such ear movement patterns so well. "Kagome?"
"Hmm? What is it InuYasha?" With her question she tightened her hold on Shippo, but not so tight that the little kitsune would be uncomfortable.
"I, I know that you'll go into heat tomorrow… I wish to accept the challenge you'll make, if you'll allow me to do so."
"You wish for us to be mates, fully?" Kagome inquired.
"I do." (A/N: I can't help it, I'm giggling here… dum, dum da dum…)
"You may accept my challenge. I'm hoping on your victory…" Kagome realized how that sounded and blushed. InuYasha smirked cockily. "I mean because I love you, not because I want to do that!"
"Sure…"
"If it weren't for the fact that everyone's trying to sleep I'd S-I-T you into the ground!" Kagome hissed. InuYasha merely smirked more. Kagome became serious. "You know I can't go easy on you. You'd better be ready for me tomorrow if you're gonna succeed in either challenge…"
"Which are you choosing? Are you going to run, or fight?" he asked, becoming serious as well.
"I want the race. I don't want to fight you. I'd feel bad if I hurt you," Kagome replied.
"Which do you think Kuri will pick?" asked InuYasha suddenly.
"I'm still awake you know!" hissed the agitated inuyoukai. Kagome stifled a giggle. 'I hope they don't find out that inuyoukai challenge potential mates only if they have feelings for the other before their heat… Hmm, I wonder what Kagome will do when InuYasha goes into his heat…' Kuri had to hold back giggles. 'Guy inuyoukai are a lot worse about heat then girls are… They're like hyper Mirokus… Only one thing on their minds and limitless energy to do it…' Kuri couldn't hold it in, she began giggling softly.
"What are you laughing about?" asked InuYasha gruffly.
"What Kagome will do when it's your turn to go into heat." Kuri grinned evilly. Kagome stared at InuYasha in shock. 'The males go into heat too? Could it really be bad enough for Kuri to giggle and grin like that…?' InuYasha began to blush from the stare he was receiving from Kagome.
Across from camp, Sesshomaru fought back a smirk to keep them from realizing he was awake. 'A male inuyoukai in heat is a very dangerous thing to all that is female… We won't have sex unless they wish it, won't actually mate unless we want them to be our mates, but we all grope, offer, stare at various body parts, or at the very least think about it… I'm strong enough that I can keep it down to thinking, but my half-brother…' (A/N: For clarity, I am saying that the mating is where you mark your mate as yours or make love to your mate, sex is just sex.)
Several feet away from Sesshomaru, Jaken began squirming in his sleeping spot. "Snore…bugs…want…snort…bugs…" Kuri swiveled an ear towards him and fought the laughter. "What I wouldn't give for Kagome's tape recorder right now…" she whispered lowly to herself. Kagome nodded in agreement with an evil smirk. Drool began pooling out of the toad's mouth.
"That is disgusting…" whispered Kagome. Kuri just looked at Jaken with a deadpan face.
"No wonder he doesn't have a mate…" muttered Kuri with a shiver of revulsion. Kagome agreed, but then looked curiously at Kuri.
"How can you tell if they've mated or not?"
"Easy, it's an unmistakable smell… If we come across a mated pair, or, ah, one of us mates tomorrow, you'll be able to tell."
"Aha! I knew you liked someone!" Kuri muttered about evil hentai so-called friends with a heavy blush. "Oh gee, I wonder who could it be…" said Kagome with a false 'I-honestly-don't-know' voice.
"Yeah, sure you wonder…"
"I wonder how you could be attracted to him. He has a heart of ice," muttered InuYasha.
"Maybe you're not seeing the whole picture," responded Kuri. She turned over, carefully cuddling Rin to her and draping an arm around the young girl's waist, and acted like she was asleep. Kagome and InuYasha soon nodded off, leaving Sesshomaru and Kuri the only ones awake.
'Maybe you're not seeing the whole picture? What an insightful statement… But why does she feel that way? I have done nothing to make her feel any differently… Unless she thinks of Rin with that statement… Or Kohaku, for that matter.' Sesshomaru opened his amber eyes and rested them on Kohaku. 'Yes, Kohaku was an easy example that I'm not so cold as InuYasha seems to think… And I'm sure she has noticed that I treat Rin as my daughter…' Sesshomaru's thoughts turned to Kuri herself. 'She likes Rin, and Rin likes her as well… She treats Rin as she would her own pup, and she can be respectful when she chooses to be…' thought Sesshomaru, remembering her thanks after saving Kohaku. 'She also smells okay and doesn't want me for money or power, at least, not that I have seen… I think I'll see if she'll allow me to give her a courting mark…' He stood up and walked over to Kuri, watching as she slowly looked up at him. "Yes?" she asked quietly.
"Would you mind if I gave you a courting mark?"
"You are interested in me?" He nodded. "When did it start?"
Sesshomaru sighed briefly, thinking about the question. "I think it began when you threw me through the Shadow Tunnel… Your ability and loyalty interested me, and I wanted to find out more about you. Once I joined you and the rest of your group, you puzzled me, intrigued me… I began to think more of you than I have thought of any female, and me feelings for you grew with your change, when I saw how you treated Rin as your own child, which no other female youkai has done."
Kuri grinned impishly for a moment. "I think this is the most you've spoken since I've met you," she teased. Sesshomaru growled.
"I'll allow you to make the mark, but only if I may do the same."
"You are interested in me as well," stated Sesshomaru. Kuri nodded slightly, cheeks shaded lightly pink. "When did your interest begin?" Kuri looked at him, contemplating her answer.
"I became interested when you saved Kohaku, but… I truly began falling for you when I saw how much you really cared for Rin, and how well you treated her…" Sesshomaru looked to her, silently impressed with her answer. 'Most females are interested in my wealth or power…' He walked to her.
"I would like to make the mark now." In reply, Kuri easily sat Rin back down, and stood up. She tossed her silvery moonlit hair back and left her neck bare to Sesshomaru's gaze. He placed his palm on her neck and it glowed blue. Once he removed his hand, a picture of Sesshomaru in his demon form remained, his courting mark.
"What is it?" she asked curiously.
"It is I, in true form." 'I will have to see him in it sometime,' Kuri decided to herself. Sesshomaru brushed his hair from his neck as Kuri placed her own palm over it, concentrating on her mark. Once to blue light faded, she removed her hand, showing her courting mark, a large winged dog. It was herself in demon form, but with the wings of an angel. (A/N: Let's say it's instinctive to know what your true demon form is. Oh, the wings? 'InuTenshi') Sesshomaru went back to his spot and went to sleep, Kuri following suit soon after, leaving Kirara to her silent guard.
The next morning the two female inuyoukai woke and stretched, carefully settling their young ones in their places, and giving them blankets to snuggle to. Both of them could smell the spice of their heat already on them, and feel the urges it brought on. 'Ugh, this is exactly how Miroku thinks, I'm sure of it!' thought Kagome sadly, looking at InuYasha like he was a piece of meat. She quickly tore her eyes off him, though the peaceful expression of his sleeping face imprinted into her memory, not to mention his masculine, earthy smell, like a deep, ancient forest on a warm, sunny day. She found that scent strangely arousing today, and Kuri looked at her friend on smelling the honey scent. "Control yourself a little longer or they'll wake up," hissed Kuri quietly in her ear. Kagome nodded but her throat went dry as she realized just how badly she did want InuYasha to wake up. Kuri bit her lip at the smell of Sesshomaru's scent and fought to control herself. 'It's so hard to control the urges he awakens in my heat… he smells great, like waterfalls and lightning… Adding to the fact I found him attractive before the heat…'
"Let's take a bath before the madness starts, shall we?" asked Kagome quietly, trying to take her mind off her hormones. Kuri nodded in agreement and Kagome grabbed her bag. They snuck off to the hot springs.
---------------------------------------At the Hot Spring---------------------------------------
Kagome and Kuri got into the spring with a sigh of relief. "Ahhh, this water feels heavenly!" cried Kagome joyfully.
Suddenly a demon appeared before the two bathers. 'Just a humanoid bear demon,' thought Kuri calmly. He looked straight at Kuri. "You will be my mate," he said with a growling tone. In response to the challenge Kuri's eyes turned blood red.
"I don't think so, you lowly bear scum! You aren't worthy of becoming my mate!" Snarling a battle-cry, Kuri leapt out of the water and attacked the bear with her poison claws. They glowed the same red as in the jewel and she easily pushed them through the bear's chest. He fell to the ground, dead, before he could blink. The acidic poison quickly dissolved the remains, leaving nothing but a faint smell. The red slowly seeped out of Kuri's eyes. "Let's finish our bath and get out of here…" she said. Kagome nodded in agreement.
---------------------------------------At the Campsite---------------------------------------
A little while after the two had left for the spring, InuYasha woke. 'I won't be able to catch her without a plan…' he thought to himself. 'And the stakes are too high to mess this up.' He got out of his tree and went looking through the area, becoming familiar with the territory. After a little while of running west from the camp, he came upon a cliff. Looking to both sides he realized it was a perfect enclosure. 'Perfect. If I can, I'll try trapping her here.' He smiled to himself. 'I'll have my Kagome yet.' InuYasha smiled as he thought of the time ahead. 'Her instincts will tell her to finish out her heat with me too… How good can it get? Three days of her…' InuYasha gained a Miroku-esque grin at the thought.
---------------------------------------At the Hot Spring---------------------------------------
The two quickly scrubbed, rinsed, and dried off, trying to finish before something else came along to see them nude. (A/N: Don't think I don't see you drooling out there. Yeah, I'm talking to you! Hey! Get your hands out of your pants mister! Do that somewhere else! -evil grin-)
"Your tail's poofed out like a fuzzy caterpillar, Kagome!"
"Well then, tell me how to un-poof it!" Instead of telling her, Kuri demonstrated by de-frizzing the tip of Kagome's tail. Kagome followed suit on the rest of her tail, leaving it as sleek and smooth as before. "Thanks Kuri. I'd hate to go around with a poofy tail…" The two got dressed in some training kimonos of Kagome's (A/N: We'll say she got some more sometime after the sword), brushed their hair and tails, and looked at their reflections in the spring. Kagome grinned at her new look. "I'd have never imagined I'd ever become a youkai…" she said happily.
"You know, that kimono really goes with your new stripes, Kagome," remarked Kuri, looking at the pink over shirt and pants appraisingly. "The black stripes accent your more feminine features too… Trying to look good for InuYasha…?"
Kagome growled at Kuri, but it wasn't a very threatening growl for the fact that Kagome knew Kuri was joking. "You know this one's the one Sango got me for my birthday." Kagome smiled after looking at Kuri. "The black outfit with blue stripes looks good on you… I figured it would." Kuri looked down at it with a slight smile. The sky blue stripes matched Kuri's natural stripes perfectly and were in the same places as the black ones on Kagome's outfit, above the waist and on the hips and ankles, exactly where Kagome and Kuri's stripes would be if they could be seen. The sleeves were short enough to show their striped wrists.
"I guess we're both gonna look good for the challenge… Who goes first?" asked Kuri with a smirk. "We don't want to get in each others way after all."
"Umm, I'll challenge InuYasha first. You get to challenge Sesshomaru after." Kuri blushed.
"Yeah… I hope he accepts my challenge…" 'I'm sure he'll understand what it means for me to challenge him after all…'
"What challenge did you pick, Kuri?" asked Kagome curiously.
"I decided since I'm not accustomed to this new body of mine yet, I'm gonna do the chase. It'll be more challenging for him, and I'll look better whether or not he catches me. Besides, I can't win a fight against a powerful youkai with nothing more than poison claws and my enhanced speed and strength." Kagome smiled and the two inuyoukai talked a little longer before heading back to camp.
---------------------------------------At the Campsite---------------------------------------
Kagome and Kuri returned to camp to find the camp up and bustling. Sango had already started the fire for breakfast. Kuri jumped into a tree in camp and avidly kept her eyes closed to keep her instincts under control. Kagome was just about to get the ramen out of her pack before her eyes met InuYasha's from the east side of camp. She dropped the pack, and her eyes began to flash before becoming full red. InuYasha looked at her as she stood within arms reach. "Catch me if you can, InuYasha…" said Kagome, eyes still locked on his, before she took off, heading west without even noticing that he had hidden his scent. InuYasha took off after her with a confident smirk.
---------------------------------------The First Challenge---------------------------------------
Kagome ran, twisting and zigzagging through the trees, ears focused behind her where she could hear InuYasha just keeping pace. She ran confidently with the knowledge that he wasn't getting any closer, but kept a close check on his position. So closely her demon instincts kept her focus on him, she didn't notice as the cliff walls appeared on either side. She ran on, faster when he sped up, slower when he relaxed his speed. Suddenly she shot off, speeding ahead of the hanyou. He became nervous that she had realized the trap and was trying to get there in time to clear the cliff. He ran faster.
True Kagome's Point Of View
The true Kagome behind the demonic instincts realized this was almost surely a trap, but her instincts were in control. She was actually glad for this because they didn't think ahead… They merely kept tabs on InuYasha's place. Kagome smiled to herself with the realization that he had actually thought the challenge through, even as her instinct driven body ran farther and faster into his trap. She smiled at the cliff wall in front of her once she had reached it, knowing InuYasha was near, but not hearing or smelling him. 'He must have really planned this thing out. How unlike him…'
InuYasha's Point of View
'She reached the edge. Now's the true test of skill. I have to sneak up on her.' InuYasha didn't so much as breathe as he inched closer, closer… 'Just a little farther and she's mine!'
-SNAP-
Kagome's inu ears swiveled to the sound and she turned her head.
Normal Point of View
Kagome's head turned to see the deer step on the twig, directly across from InuYasha's position. He wasn't going to get another chance in this place and he knew it. He leapt and grabbed the unaware Kagome around her waist and clutched her to his chest. "I win," he growled huskily in her ear, and smirked at the shiver it caused. Kagome's eyes slowly began to turn back to her normal honeyed hue as her instincts released their tightened hold. "I promised to tell Kuri when the challenge was over so she could make hers," said Kagome quietly. "After that… I'm all yours…" Kagome let off a howl, telling Kuri of InuYasha's victory in inuyoukai language, before she and InuYasha went somewhere private.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xio: I have to do this first.
Minnie: Don't hurt me, I didn't tell her to do it!
Xio: Patience is a virtue you know! -Runs from a mob of angry readers with pitchforks-
Minnie: Mmm, chocolate pudding! -
Xio: -yelling from far away- Don't you dare touch that, it's mine!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------At the Campsite---------------------------------------
After Kagome and InuYasha ran off, Sango stared. "Do you think we should follow?"
Kuri about fell from her tree. "NO! I mean, everything's okay… It's just that Kagome's in heat right now…" Sango looked up at Kuri.
"Then we have to keep InuYasha away from her! She was trying to run from him. Kirara!" Kirara bounded to Sango's side.
Kuri sweatdropped. "It's inuyoukai custom to challenge a potential mate for their worthiness to mate with them… That's what Kagome's doing. Leave them alone." Sango nodded slowly and went back to tending the fire.
"I can't believe it! She finally has clean blood and she would dirty it with that half-breed mongrel!" -WHACK- -THUD- -WHACK WHACK WHACK- -THWAP- -BAM- The annoying little toad was hit by several acorns from Kuri's tree, Sango's Hiraikutso, Miroku's staff, and a large rock from Sesshomaru's area. The attack was finished with a rather strong Fox Fire from Shippo, leaving Jaken scorched and blackened. Kuri's gaze was lowered, her honey eyes hidden from view by her bangs, but her smirk was easily visible. After a few moments, Kuri dropped out of the tree and hopped into the forest.
"Where's Kuri going Lord Sesshomaru?" asked Rin from his side. Sesshomaru looked down to her.
"She is probably hunting breakfast." Sure enough, Kuri emerged from the foliage but a little while later carrying a large deer. She skinned it and wordlessly handed it to Sango before returning to her tree, all the while keeping her eyes averted from Sesshomaru. 'If I look at him, I'll challenge him. I have to wait until Kagome's signal.'
'Why isn't she challenging me? I can smell the spice of her heat upon her, yet she doesn't so much as look at me… Perhaps it has to do with her departure this morning…' Sesshomaru watched her for a moment, before closing his eyes and looking away.
"Breakfast is ready," said Sango softly. Kuri looked at her for a moment, but looked away. 'If I eat, I'll be slower during the run…' Shippo, Rin, Kohaku, and Miroku rushed up and accepted their share. Kirara waited beside Sango until she was also handed a piece. Sesshomaru ignored the deer as well, and Jaken followed his example.
A long howl was heard from the direction Kagome had ran. Kuri, InuYasha won. You're up! Kagome howled out to Kuri. Kuri looked up with a large smile. She gracefully leapt from the tree and stood before Sesshomaru. Looking him in the eye with a blood red gaze she grinned. "If you want me, come get me…" She raced eastward. Sesshomaru smirked, causing Jaken to begin praying, and sped after her.
===========================FIRST LEMON===========================
---------------------------------------With InuYasha and Kagome---------------------------------------
Our couple, meanwhile, had found a nice, deserted cave with a stream nearby. It was dry, and around it was plenty of food and water. InuYasha grinned. 'Perfect for a few days of mating…' he thought with a lusty look towards his mate-to-be. Kagome shivered in anticipation. InuYasha stopped and turned to his love. "Kagome, I didn't get a chance to tell you how good you look in that outfit." He gave her another hungry look before he pounced on her for a ravishing kiss. She responded passionately, battling his tongue for dominance. Their tongues moved from her mouth to his as he removed her outer shirt and tossed it to the ground, revealing the skintight black undershirt. She pulled his outer shirt away and dropped it beside hers. InuYasha began to lift the hem of her undershirt. Her scent flared, thoroughly saturated with the honey scent of her arousal, even as they broke the kiss for air. He tore off her shirt, seeing her pale skin glowing in the summer air. He ran his claws lightly down her sides and she moaned in pleasure. He quickly removed his own undershirt and Kagome forced herself closer to him, her breasts crushed against his chest. Kagome gave him another moan as he ran his hands down her sides to her waist. Kagome's tail snaked around InuYasha's waist as she began rubbing his ears. InuYasha groaned and hardened under her touch. Kagome loosened InuYasha's pants and he let them fall, untying her sash to let hers do the same. InuYasha smirked at the sight of her in her bra and panties. 'Pink like her outfit…' Kagome trailed her claws lightly along his abdomen and chest, reveling in the pleasured shudders she received and the musky scent of his arousal. InuYasha ran his hands up through her hair to her new inu ears. He took them in his hands and began rubbing them like she did his so often. She moaned and heat shot through her. Her instincts deprived her of her natural modesty. 'So hot… I'm burning for his touch…' she thought as she feverishly tore off her bra and panties, leaving herself completely naked to InuYasha's eye. Her tail coiled around her waist as InuYasha looked hungrily at her, drinking in the sight of her from head to toe, before removing his last garment and casting it aside. He was bare to her, and for the first time she could see just how well endowed he was. He made his way back to her and left a burning trail of kisses from her jaw to the middle of her chest. She fisted her hands in his snowy hair as he flicked his claw against one of her nipples. He took it into his mouth and suckled like a pup, growling his approval of her mewling. The feel of his growl made her gasp. He slid his tongue over the tip then nibbled it, relishing as she moaned his name in pleasure. He released it only to latch onto her other breast. He gave it the same treatment before he found himself on his back, Kagome on top of him. "My turn." She grinned impishly at him as she grabbed him and squeezed lightly. He groaned in pleasure. "Oh Kamis…" Kagome rubbed her tail against his side and began pumping InuYasha's manhood, slowly, drinking in his approving sounds. She began kissing his jawline, then trailing down his neck, pausing to lick her courting mark, and down his chest. She swirled her tongue briefly in his belly button before continuing down to his member. InuYasha had watched her lustily until she lightly kissed the tip of him, then lapping up the drops of precum he had released. He closed his eyes and growled out his pleasure. She grinned and took him into her mouth. InuYasha's hands traveled to the top of her head, holding her in place. Kagome swirled her tongue around the tip of his manhood. At this InuYasha began pumping himself into her mouth, Kagome adapting to the movement and bobbing her head up and down on him. Just before his release he stopped and withdrew himself, Kagome giving him a confused look at his action. "I want the first time to be inside you," he answered to her unasked question. Kagome nodded. InuYasha flipped her over so that he would be on top. He licked down her abdomen to her flower, nearly drunk from her heady scent. He lowered his lips to her opening and planted little heated kisses on it. Grinning slightly, he ran his tongue over it, appreciative of the mewls she gave voice to, as well as an arousing growl. Her hands again found their way to his silvery mane as he lapped at her bud. She moaned his name loudly as he dipped a claw into her, bucking her hips at the feel of him inside her. He slipped in a second, not pausing in his licks, as he felt her walls begin to shudder. Her eyes rolled back into her head and she cried his name as she felt her first orgasm. He lapped up her juices, loving the taste of her. Kagome couldn't take much more of his torture. "InuYasha, I need you inside of me. Please InuYasha…" she gasped. InuYasha came back up, his manhood at her entrance. He paused, unsure and afraid he might hurt her, but she made the decision for him by bucking her hips up and taking him in. InuYasha grunted as he slid inside of her, her walls slick from her earlier orgasm. He broke through her barrier but was surprised to hear no cry of pain. He stopped moving anyways. "Did I hurt you?" he asked with a little worry. "No… I felt it, but it didn't really hurt…" After a few moments of no movement, she scowled at him and pushed her hips up, forcing him deeper inside of her. She mewled at the feel and InuYasha took the hint to begin moving. He began to move slowly, but she growled impatiently at the pace. "I'm a demon, I won't break…" Her tone softened. "Let go InuYasha. I can take anything you give me, and I want both of us to enjoy this." He responded to her request by speeding up, she keeping time with every thrust of his hips. She moaned and mewled, giving growling purrs as he pushed deeper into her with every move. He grunted as her walls again began to shiver, muscles contracting, pulling him in and squeezing his member tightly. She howled out his name to the sky as she felt her second climax. Her juices flowed over his tip, bringing him over the edge. His howls of her name joined hers before he bit into the junction of her neck and shoulder; her still reeling from the force of her orgasm, and she favored his mark with one of her own. Both gave a tired smile as the mating marks and courting marks both glowed and became permanent. Kagome snuggled into InuYasha's side before giving into her exhaustion and falling asleep, her mate following soon after.
========================END LEMON=======================
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xio: I hope that wasn't too bad… It was my first descriptive lemon…
Minnie: It shows.
Xio: Eh heh heh… Well, I am still a virgin you know… I really don't know much about the subject… Except what I've read of course…
Minnie: Hentai…
Xio: Self-proclaimed hentai my friend. Well, back to the story.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------The Second Challenge------------------------------------
Kuri ran with her scent masked, leaping over boulders and fallen trees. She could hear Sesshomaru gaining, so with a scary grin she sped up, running towards the smell of running water. (A/N: Minnie: Does running water really smell different? Xio: I say it does because it doesn't have time to grow that moldy mossy stuff.) A few minutes led Kuri to a large river. Sesshomaru watched with wide eyes as she dived in and swam with the current. He followed from the side until it became apparent he'd have to follow to win. 'And this Sesshomaru always wins.' He dove in and began to catch up. Seeing that her water chase wasn't working, Kuri leapt out of the water and ran to the right. She used all her speed to get far enough ahead he couldn't see her, then jumped from tree to tree heading eastward again. What Kuri didn't realize was that Sesshomaru had taken to the air to follow her.
True Kuri's Point of View
'Where is he? I can't believe my instincts alone could have outwitted him, and I definitely didn't plan anything… He should be able to follow the water smell…' Kuri saddened even as her instincts drove her further into the forest depths. She sprang out from the trees to find a clearing with a lake and a large, dark cave entrance. Kuri sniffed around for Sesshomaru. 'Wild pears, strawberries… fish from the lake… herbs… a deer… rabbits… but no Sesshomaru?' She gasped in surprise as something suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled her up, knocking the breath out of her. "I always get what I want, dear Kuri…"
Normal Point of View
The crimson slowly bled from Kuri's eyes as her instincts admitted Sesshomaru's victory. "You wanted me?" she asked teasingly. Sesshomaru looked at her with a lidded gaze.
"If I hadn't wanted you, I would have let you run on without a chase…" Kuri smiled. "You found a perfect place to run to, my mate," said Sesshomaru with a hint of a smile. "I hope you like it, seeing as you'll be here awhile." Kuri merely shivered, knowing she'd be his alone for the next three days. "Do you like it?" she asked suddenly.
He looked at her. "It has shelter, food, water, and I believe there is a hot spring in the cave. It is adequate for the remainder of your heat."
Kuri looked at him. "That's not what I meant. I meant the situation. How I just came into heat and we just started courting yesterday."
"I am perfectly fine with the situation."
She stuck her tongue out. "So serious…"
"I am normally a serious person."
"But now's not the time for seriousness Sesshy, now's the time for play," she purred with a lusty look towards him and a seductive grin. Her grin grew as she smelled his arousal.
"You realize if you play with me you'll lose?" he replied with a cocky smirk.
"Oh, but in losing I win a far greater prize… If you're not too busy being serious to play with me…" she said with an alluring grin. Suddenly she had an evil thought. She shot him a grin as she walked to the cave. "I'm going to take a nap," she called to him, hiding a smirk. He growled.
"You believe that you can get away so easily?" He smirked at her. "I shall make love to you until you cannot walk."
Kuri turned back and grinned. "Oh really? Can you back it up? It'll take more than you might think just to wear me out for tonight, let alone tomorrow."
"Good. If you have the stamina this might be an interesting few days after all." Sesshomaru smirked. "Though I doubt you'll be in any condition for more in the morning."
==========================SECOND LEMON==========================
"You just keep thinking that," Kuri retorted, before heading into the cave. Sesshomaru followed at a leisurely pace. He walked up behind her and grabbed her, turning her in his arms to face him. He bent down smashed his lips against hers for a fiery kiss. She gasped as his tongue swept across her lower lip, allowing him access to her mouth. She moaned when his tongue stroked hers, and she responded fervently. His tongue coaxed hers to follow back into his mouth, where Kuri eagerly explored. Her tongue brushed his fangs and she smiled into the kiss as he hardened against her. They broke for air and Kuri began stripping right in front of him. She debated for a second before throwing her bra behind her and sneaking a look back quickly. 'Bulls-eye!' The bra was hanging off his head but he was too focused on Kuri's strip to remove it. She resisted a chuckle but her tail wagged enough to give her away. He said nothing and Kuri was surprised. She untied her sash and began to slip it down, before she felt Sesshomaru's hands sliding it down for her. She turned her head to give a questioning look, and he just grinned and trailed his claws down her sides as he pulled her pants further. She shivered. "Sessho…" Kuri's aroused honey scent filled the cave. She kicked her pants away and he drew her panties down. Suddenly she looked at Sesshomaru and pouted. "Here I am completely naked and you haven't removed a thing. Well, we'll have to change that, won't we?" She began removing his swords, placing them respectfully against a cave wall, which gave him a good look at her pale creamy rear. She grinned as his arousal smell became even stronger. She slowly leaned back up and began removing his haori. She let it fall as she contented herself removing the rest of his clothes. She untied his sash and allowed him to slide his pants and underclothes off for himself. He did so and Kuri let her eyes rove his body, smiling seductively the whole time. His tail at this time was curled on the floor, so, careful not to hurt it, she lay on the cave floor and sprawled out seductively, cuddling into his tail, and earning a raised eyebrow from Sesshomaru. She just grinned mischievously at his look and began stroking it. Her reward for this was a growling purr and the strengthening of his scent. Her own tail began to wag beside her. "So, you like my tail?" he asked. "Very much so, it's so fluffy and soft…" Looking at her lying there, he decided to give her a taste of her own medicine. He kneeled beside her tail and stroked it the same way she was stroking his. With a shuddering gasp, she stopped moving. He had slid his hand up to the base of her tail and began scratching lightly. Her scent grew even sweeter as he smirked at her reaction. Her response was a mix between a growl and a whimper as he stopped scratching and stood up, still smirking at her. She got up too. Noticing his mischievous look at her, she stared at him. "What are you up to?" she asked, cocking her head to the side in the famous curious puppy pose. Her eyes twinkled as he began to chuckle. "That's definitely a first for me… I've never heard you laugh before. You should do it more often… It's sexy," she said with a mischievous grin. "Perhaps I will with you around." She just smiled in response, before squealing as his tail quickly wrapped around her waist and dragged her up against him.
"You were planning that!" she accused with a playful huff.
"And if I was?" he replied with a quirked eyebrow.
"Then I'll just have to get you back."
"I'm waiting."
Kuri began rubbing him all over with her tail, smirking when she felt him shudder over his stomach. She removed her tail and proceeded to give him a tummy rub, grinning when he began his rumbling contented growl and his musky arousal scent flooded the air. Kuri grinned evilly and said in a sing-song voice "I just found your weak spot!" Sesshomaru just growled in annoyance. "Your stomach's such a bad place for a weak spot…" she purred, grinning as she thought of all the things she could do with such knowledge. She was broken from her thoughts as he began stroking her sides. She practically whimpered when brought his hands to her breasts and began fondling them. He licked his courting mark he had placed last night and was satisfied with her moan of delight. He sucked and nibbled it for a bit, before Sesshomaru stopped his attention on his mark to lightly push Kuri to the ground, using his tail to set her down gently. Sesshomaru turned his attention to her chest. He took one of her breasts in his mouth, torturing it with his teeth and tongue, while rolling the other between his forefinger and thumb, occasionally flicking his claws over it. He swapped the two, enjoying her mewling greatly. Kuri fisted her hands in his silky locks. Sesshomaru's tail ran down her sides, occasionally flicking between her thighs, making her flush with need. Kuri was shocked when his tail was replaced with his lips, kissing her flower and making her burn with desire. Sesshomaru slowly lapped at her, as she mewled and squirmed under his mouth. He found her button and gave it a slow lick, smirking to himself as she cried out his name. He suckled it a bit, before bringing one clawed finger to her opening, and inserting it into her. She cried out as he began to thrust it inside her, joining it with a second and making her nearly cross-eyed from the new sensations. He assaulted her bud in time with the thrusts of his fingers. Kuri couldn't take anymore, and she screamed his name as she experienced her first climax. Kuri slowly regained enough of her senses to realize she hadn't done as much as she wanted to. She pushed him over and sat on his waist. "Sesshy… I want a turn," she cooed with a grin. Sesshomaru just stared as she moved lower, trailing her tongue down his front as she did so. She paused at his belly button to swirl her tongue around it, and dip it in. His scent grew stronger, and Kuri fought the urge to continue lapping at his stomach. She continued her trail until she reached the his manhood. She looked up for a second, to meet the golden gaze of her mate-to-be. She shot him a desiring look before looking back down. She lapped the precum that had already spilled, and kissed his tip. He groaned out in pleasure as she took him into her mouth and began a pattern of suction, nips, and licks. His hands came to the crown of her bobbing head as if to hold her down. He began pumping into her mouth, and groaned loudly as his release came. She looked him straight in the eye as she swallowed his seed down, and licked her lips after. He began hardening again. Noting the look in his eye, and feeling impatient herself, she crawled off of him. She kneeled as she watched him get up, then allowed herself to be guided back on her back. "It may hurt, love," he said, giving her a tender look. Kuri gazed for a second, transfixed. It amazed her how different he was in this sacred act than at any other time. She smiled, and nodded to him. "What kind of demon could I possibly be if I couldn't handle a little pain?" she said, but the look in her eyes softened her scornful words. He positioned himself at her entrance, and thrust himself quickly into her. She winced, but the pain was not that great, and she found it soon replaced by a feeling of fullness to the point of overflow. She twisted a little trying to find a more comfortable position, but mewled at the feeling it caused. Sesshomaru began to pump inside her, slowly at first but more quickly as she began to meet him for every thrust. "Sesshy… Please, Sessho, faster!" she gasped out. At her plea, he sped his pace more, growling and grunting at every move. Kuri mewled and gave purring growls as she felt the stirrings of her second orgasm. She howled out his name as she came, the sound echoing through the cave. Her walls tightened and squeezed his member almost painfully, and caused him to reach his own climax. She whimpered in pleasure as he bit the junction of her neck and shoulder, leaving his claiming mark, and at his bite she left her own. Both lapped the small amount of blood that came after and watched as they became permanent, along with the initial courting mark.
===========================END LEMON=========================
Kuri snuggled into Sesshomaru's tail. She yawned, tired from the lack of food, chase, and 'exercise' after. "Sesshy," she began tiredly, "would you mind if I adopted Rin?" Sesshomaru looked at his new mate and smiled.
"I was planning on doing the same thing soon. I would be quite pleased if you adopted her."
"I love you, mate," mumbled Kuri, before falling asleep in Sesshomaru's arms.
"I love you too."
Xio: What can I say? I just hope they aren't too bad.
Minnie: Or that no one tries to get your account canceled for them.
Xio: Well, I'll be upset if it happens, but I'll just go to media miner or adult fanfiction I suppose…
Minnie: Thanks for being patient while she wrote this chapter.
Xio: Yeah, sorry it took awhile… I wanted this to be good. It still might be a little corny though… And I know I needed a better vocabulary… Maybe I should read some cheesy romance novels…
Minnie: A little corny?
Xio: Shut up Minnie…
Minnie: Fine! -pouts-
Xio: Now that I've gotten her out of my hair, here's my Reviewer Corner! Ayame (Thanks but I'm too lazy to change it. Lol), Chibi-Kayko, Kaoru-890, Meow the chibi neko (Nooo! Not the chibi eyes! Who can resist their awesome power?), Kuroi Kaze Kitsune, The Fire Goddess, Dragon Man 180 (you're up at the top), Nikki, Sammy, Kagome, EternalSailorDarkness (well, here's the lemon.),
Blurred Love (I'm so glad you like the pairing), me, AoA-Kagome-AoA (thanks so much!), luna-moonkitty (thanks for the support and glad you like their new look), dragonmaster01 (can't wait to see it), DestroyerDRT, Shadow-mai, Goddess-Hope, and Sesshoumarugrl. Thank you everyone for reading and reviewing. Hope you like the new chapter. It's 15 pages, but that's adding my little talk and the scenes from last chapter.
Here's a new one for the Wall Of Flamers!
KetsuekiTenshi 2004-05-30 4 Signed sigh sowie, butta..me no likeE! u d0 evereE thing way 2o quik.
KetsuekiTenshi 2004-05-30 2 Signed ok, i dunt releE get the whole thing wid Kagome talking or understanding Kuri and i think dat dash kinda well...dumb? but ish kew. imma go on tooh da nxt chapter, k den, bye!
=I Say= I'm glad you had the courage to review signed in. You're the first flamer to do so. Unfortunately I am studying French, not Moron, so I can't decipher half of what you've written. What I did get: I do realize that I go too fast sometimes, I will admit that willingly, but for goodness sake, I'm just a fanfiction writer! I never claimed to be a professional! And I wanted Kuri and Kagome to understand one another because that ability was central for the plot. You don't like it? Too bad. It's my story, not yours! I don't care if you like it or not. I also don't care if you understand it or not. So just go back and keep writing your little contradictory poems. Thanks everyone for listening to my little rant. Well, Ja Ne!
By Xio the Dog Demoness
Xio: Hi everyone!
Minnie: Xio's so happy you guys are okay with the Sesshy/Kuri pairing.
Xio: The focus of the story's on Kagome and InuYasha, but Sess and Kuri will end up with a lemon too. I'm thinking of a Sango/Miroku lemon, but I'm not so good with them. I'm probably gonna try, at least, but it won't be this chapter.
Minnie: And you call yourself a hentai…
Xio: Hey, I said I'd try… It's just that it's easier with InuYasha and Sesshomaru… -drool-
Minnie: She's doing it again… -sigh-
Xio: I'll do something a little different this chapter. I'm answering a review up here. Why? The answers are needed before the story.
Review: Dragon Man 180: They won't be allowed to go easy on the one they challenge. Their instincts wouldn't allow it. Don't worry though, InuYasha'll get it. Also, I will take care of the situation with Rin in the next chapter or so. Good questions and suggestions.
Xio: My lemons may not be that great… Don't be too upset… Enjoy the story! Ja Ne.
Disclaimer: If I owned them, don't you think you would have seen Kuri in the show at least once by now?
WARNING: This is the lemon chapter guys. No reading unless you're old enough or you're not gonna get me in trouble for this. I'd rather not lose my account…
SECOND WARNING: Sesshomaru will definitely be OOC. I won't have him act emotionless during the second lemon.

--Scene Change--
Point Of View
------------------------------Last time on Kagome's Puppy Troubles------------------------------
Kagome and Kuri stood in the middle of the clearing, when they were covered in golden light. When the light faded, Kagome and Kuri were inuyoukai, with humanoid form. The first thing you noticed is that both had silver dog ears on their heads. They both had tails as well, shaped like Koga's but longer and silver. Their tails reached down to their shins and were fluffy yet sleek. Kagome had silver hair with pink streaks, but Kuri's hair was silver with black streaks. Their hair went down to about mid-back. Kagome had green stripes on her face, wrists, hips, and ankles, and pink on her tail, where Kuri had blue stripes on her face, wrists, hips, and ankles with black stripes on her tail. (A/N: Like when she changed to her larger dog form before.) They both had natural light pink eye shadow. Their nails had grown into claws. Both had pink spheres on their foreheads, but Kagome's had a bow and arrow inside while Kuri's had angel wings on the inside. Both inuyoukai wore wearing simple white kimonos, but where Kagome's had cherries, Kuri's had jasmine blossoms.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
InuYasha and the rest looked on in shock as the jewel began glowing a bright pink. Two beams shot from the glow, forming two eerie featureless glowing pink inuyoukai. The glow died down to reveal the two inuyoukai's appearances. The two held the jewel in their hands as five blue shafts of light streaked out from it and spread through the sky. The jewel lost its color and shattered to dust.
InuYasha stared at the two youkai that had emerged from the jewel. "Kagome…? Kuri…? Is that you?"
Kagome looked at him with a smirk. "Use your nose, that's what it's there for!" she remarked with a grin.
InuYasha gave a good sniff. 'Cherries… Spring rain…? It's her!' "Kagome, what happened in the jewel?" he asked gruffly, trying to hide the fact that he was worried for her safety, but failing miserably. Kagome could see the relieved light in his eyes.
Shippo took a good look at her and jumped into her arms. "The green stripes look good on you Mommy." Kagome smiled and cuddled her adopted pup closer.
Rin ran to Kuri. "Kuri, is that you?"
Kuri smiled. "It's me Rin. I'm not a little puppy anymore." Suddenly Rin glomped Kuri's tail.
"It's so soft and cuddly!" squealed Rin with a happy smile. Kuri just smiled in return and wrapped her tail lightly around Rin. 'I feel like her mother… I want a child…' Kuri thought to herself.
Sesshomaru watched the two with a hidden smile. 'They look like mother and daughter. And Kuri doesn't smell as bad as some of the females trying to mate me… Jasmine and night… It suits her perfectly…'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kagome, well, we go into heat tomorrow, and I want you to know how you're gonna act. Inuyoukai challenge potential mates to test their worthiness and to see if they would help make strong pups. There are two forms of challenge: the chase and the fight. You will instinctively choose one once you come into heat. InuYasha will either have to beat or draw with you, or he will have to catch you. If he fails your challenge, you can challenge him until he succeeds, but your instincts aren't gonna allow you to go easy on him, or allow you to mate with him until he does succeed. Once you're out of heat, you can mate with him, but you won't be able to mate during your heat unless he is successful in either of your challenges. If he can succeed in one challenge though, you can mate as many times as you want."
Kagome looked worried. "So if he doesn't win, we can't…"
Kuri sighed. "You can't have pups until he successfully completes one of your challenges."
Kagome looked hard at Kuri. "What happens if he wins?"
Kuri blushed heavily as Kagome looked at her. "Well, if he wins… You two will go somewhere private, and well, you'll mate…" Kuri blushed harder as Kagome took on a shocked look, complete with cherry red blush.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh yeah, wonderful conversation… That would be really comfortable, asking Mr. Emotionless about my new youkai senses… Please Kuri, you were an inuyoukai before the jewel. Couldn't you please help me out?" Kagome gave her friend the infamous puppy-dog eyes, complete with pout and flattened ears. Her tail was even hanging down. Kuri sighed in defeat.
"Okay, what do you need to know?"
------------------------------This time on Kagome's Puppy Troubles------------------------------
Chapter Thirteen: The First Day
Kagome looked at Kuri. "So, I can smell emotions?"
"Yes. You should instinctively know what the emotion is. Try to identify this one." Kuri concentrated on the happiness she felt with Rin.
-sniff- -sniff- "Um… It smells… Kinda light, really… Happiness?" said Kagome. Kuri smiled and nodded. "Another please!"
Kuri concentrated on how she would feel if she was separated from Kagome and everyone else. (A/N: Yeah, Kagome, right…)
-sniff- "Sad, but not exactly so… Lonely, right?" Kuri nodded. They did a few more before quitting.
"So, I can hear for miles around, smell for a little farther, and see better than ever before… It's hard to believe…" Kagome looked in awe of her own claws.
"I know what you mean… I thought I'd be in dog form forever… But now I have a humanoid form! It's something most lower demons, like I was, always dream of…"
"So Kirara would like this change?" asked Kagome.
"I don't know… There are a few lesser demons that wouldn't change for anything…"
After Kuri taught Kagome everything she could of her new demon senses, they went back to camp. It was still very dark, so they crawled back into their spots and tried to go back to sleep. InuYasha cracked an eye open and looked at Kagome. 'She'll be in heat tomorrow… I have to ask her if I can try to complete her challenge… Or she might hate me when we mate…' (A/N: Oh so confident…) With that thought, InuYasha easily landed from his branch and leaned towards Kagome. Kagome's ears twitched as he landed and followed his movements, a clear sign of her wakefulness to one who knows such ear movement patterns so well. "Kagome?"
"Hmm? What is it InuYasha?" With her question she tightened her hold on Shippo, but not so tight that the little kitsune would be uncomfortable.
"I, I know that you'll go into heat tomorrow… I wish to accept the challenge you'll make, if you'll allow me to do so."
"You wish for us to be mates, fully?" Kagome inquired.
"I do." (A/N: I can't help it, I'm giggling here… dum, dum da dum…)
"You may accept my challenge. I'm hoping on your victory…" Kagome realized how that sounded and blushed. InuYasha smirked cockily. "I mean because I love you, not because I want to do that!"
"Sure…"
"If it weren't for the fact that everyone's trying to sleep I'd S-I-T you into the ground!" Kagome hissed. InuYasha merely smirked more. Kagome became serious. "You know I can't go easy on you. You'd better be ready for me tomorrow if you're gonna succeed in either challenge…"
"Which are you choosing? Are you going to run, or fight?" he asked, becoming serious as well.
"I want the race. I don't want to fight you. I'd feel bad if I hurt you," Kagome replied.
"Which do you think Kuri will pick?" asked InuYasha suddenly.
"I'm still awake you know!" hissed the agitated inuyoukai. Kagome stifled a giggle. 'I hope they don't find out that inuyoukai challenge potential mates only if they have feelings for the other before their heat… Hmm, I wonder what Kagome will do when InuYasha goes into his heat…' Kuri had to hold back giggles. 'Guy inuyoukai are a lot worse about heat then girls are… They're like hyper Mirokus… Only one thing on their minds and limitless energy to do it…' Kuri couldn't hold it in, she began giggling softly.
"What are you laughing about?" asked InuYasha gruffly.
"What Kagome will do when it's your turn to go into heat." Kuri grinned evilly. Kagome stared at InuYasha in shock. 'The males go into heat too? Could it really be bad enough for Kuri to giggle and grin like that…?' InuYasha began to blush from the stare he was receiving from Kagome.
Across from camp, Sesshomaru fought back a smirk to keep them from realizing he was awake. 'A male inuyoukai in heat is a very dangerous thing to all that is female… We won't have sex unless they wish it, won't actually mate unless we want them to be our mates, but we all grope, offer, stare at various body parts, or at the very least think about it… I'm strong enough that I can keep it down to thinking, but my half-brother…' (A/N: For clarity, I am saying that the mating is where you mark your mate as yours or make love to your mate, sex is just sex.)
Several feet away from Sesshomaru, Jaken began squirming in his sleeping spot. "Snore…bugs…want…snort…bugs…" Kuri swiveled an ear towards him and fought the laughter. "What I wouldn't give for Kagome's tape recorder right now…" she whispered lowly to herself. Kagome nodded in agreement with an evil smirk. Drool began pooling out of the toad's mouth.
"That is disgusting…" whispered Kagome. Kuri just looked at Jaken with a deadpan face.
"No wonder he doesn't have a mate…" muttered Kuri with a shiver of revulsion. Kagome agreed, but then looked curiously at Kuri.
"How can you tell if they've mated or not?"
"Easy, it's an unmistakable smell… If we come across a mated pair, or, ah, one of us mates tomorrow, you'll be able to tell."
"Aha! I knew you liked someone!" Kuri muttered about evil hentai so-called friends with a heavy blush. "Oh gee, I wonder who could it be…" said Kagome with a false 'I-honestly-don't-know' voice.
"Yeah, sure you wonder…"
"I wonder how you could be attracted to him. He has a heart of ice," muttered InuYasha.
"Maybe you're not seeing the whole picture," responded Kuri. She turned over, carefully cuddling Rin to her and draping an arm around the young girl's waist, and acted like she was asleep. Kagome and InuYasha soon nodded off, leaving Sesshomaru and Kuri the only ones awake.
'Maybe you're not seeing the whole picture? What an insightful statement… But why does she feel that way? I have done nothing to make her feel any differently… Unless she thinks of Rin with that statement… Or Kohaku, for that matter.' Sesshomaru opened his amber eyes and rested them on Kohaku. 'Yes, Kohaku was an easy example that I'm not so cold as InuYasha seems to think… And I'm sure she has noticed that I treat Rin as my daughter…' Sesshomaru's thoughts turned to Kuri herself. 'She likes Rin, and Rin likes her as well… She treats Rin as she would her own pup, and she can be respectful when she chooses to be…' thought Sesshomaru, remembering her thanks after saving Kohaku. 'She also smells okay and doesn't want me for money or power, at least, not that I have seen… I think I'll see if she'll allow me to give her a courting mark…' He stood up and walked over to Kuri, watching as she slowly looked up at him. "Yes?" she asked quietly.
"Would you mind if I gave you a courting mark?"
"You are interested in me?" He nodded. "When did it start?"
Sesshomaru sighed briefly, thinking about the question. "I think it began when you threw me through the Shadow Tunnel… Your ability and loyalty interested me, and I wanted to find out more about you. Once I joined you and the rest of your group, you puzzled me, intrigued me… I began to think more of you than I have thought of any female, and me feelings for you grew with your change, when I saw how you treated Rin as your own child, which no other female youkai has done."
Kuri grinned impishly for a moment. "I think this is the most you've spoken since I've met you," she teased. Sesshomaru growled.
"I'll allow you to make the mark, but only if I may do the same."
"You are interested in me as well," stated Sesshomaru. Kuri nodded slightly, cheeks shaded lightly pink. "When did your interest begin?" Kuri looked at him, contemplating her answer.
"I became interested when you saved Kohaku, but… I truly began falling for you when I saw how much you really cared for Rin, and how well you treated her…" Sesshomaru looked to her, silently impressed with her answer. 'Most females are interested in my wealth or power…' He walked to her.
"I would like to make the mark now." In reply, Kuri easily sat Rin back down, and stood up. She tossed her silvery moonlit hair back and left her neck bare to Sesshomaru's gaze. He placed his palm on her neck and it glowed blue. Once he removed his hand, a picture of Sesshomaru in his demon form remained, his courting mark.
"What is it?" she asked curiously.
"It is I, in true form." 'I will have to see him in it sometime,' Kuri decided to herself. Sesshomaru brushed his hair from his neck as Kuri placed her own palm over it, concentrating on her mark. Once to blue light faded, she removed her hand, showing her courting mark, a large winged dog. It was herself in demon form, but with the wings of an angel. (A/N: Let's say it's instinctive to know what your true demon form is. Oh, the wings? 'InuTenshi') Sesshomaru went back to his spot and went to sleep, Kuri following suit soon after, leaving Kirara to her silent guard.
The next morning the two female inuyoukai woke and stretched, carefully settling their young ones in their places, and giving them blankets to snuggle to. Both of them could smell the spice of their heat already on them, and feel the urges it brought on. 'Ugh, this is exactly how Miroku thinks, I'm sure of it!' thought Kagome sadly, looking at InuYasha like he was a piece of meat. She quickly tore her eyes off him, though the peaceful expression of his sleeping face imprinted into her memory, not to mention his masculine, earthy smell, like a deep, ancient forest on a warm, sunny day. She found that scent strangely arousing today, and Kuri looked at her friend on smelling the honey scent. "Control yourself a little longer or they'll wake up," hissed Kuri quietly in her ear. Kagome nodded but her throat went dry as she realized just how badly she did want InuYasha to wake up. Kuri bit her lip at the smell of Sesshomaru's scent and fought to control herself. 'It's so hard to control the urges he awakens in my heat… he smells great, like waterfalls and lightning… Adding to the fact I found him attractive before the heat…'
"Let's take a bath before the madness starts, shall we?" asked Kagome quietly, trying to take her mind off her hormones. Kuri nodded in agreement and Kagome grabbed her bag. They snuck off to the hot springs.
---------------------------------------At the Hot Spring---------------------------------------
Kagome and Kuri got into the spring with a sigh of relief. "Ahhh, this water feels heavenly!" cried Kagome joyfully.
Suddenly a demon appeared before the two bathers. 'Just a humanoid bear demon,' thought Kuri calmly. He looked straight at Kuri. "You will be my mate," he said with a growling tone. In response to the challenge Kuri's eyes turned blood red.
"I don't think so, you lowly bear scum! You aren't worthy of becoming my mate!" Snarling a battle-cry, Kuri leapt out of the water and attacked the bear with her poison claws. They glowed the same red as in the jewel and she easily pushed them through the bear's chest. He fell to the ground, dead, before he could blink. The acidic poison quickly dissolved the remains, leaving nothing but a faint smell. The red slowly seeped out of Kuri's eyes. "Let's finish our bath and get out of here…" she said. Kagome nodded in agreement.
---------------------------------------At the Campsite---------------------------------------
A little while after the two had left for the spring, InuYasha woke. 'I won't be able to catch her without a plan…' he thought to himself. 'And the stakes are too high to mess this up.' He got out of his tree and went looking through the area, becoming familiar with the territory. After a little while of running west from the camp, he came upon a cliff. Looking to both sides he realized it was a perfect enclosure. 'Perfect. If I can, I'll try trapping her here.' He smiled to himself. 'I'll have my Kagome yet.' InuYasha smiled as he thought of the time ahead. 'Her instincts will tell her to finish out her heat with me too… How good can it get? Three days of her…' InuYasha gained a Miroku-esque grin at the thought.
---------------------------------------At the Hot Spring---------------------------------------
The two quickly scrubbed, rinsed, and dried off, trying to finish before something else came along to see them nude. (A/N: Don't think I don't see you drooling out there. Yeah, I'm talking to you! Hey! Get your hands out of your pants mister! Do that somewhere else! -evil grin-)
"Your tail's poofed out like a fuzzy caterpillar, Kagome!"
"Well then, tell me how to un-poof it!" Instead of telling her, Kuri demonstrated by de-frizzing the tip of Kagome's tail. Kagome followed suit on the rest of her tail, leaving it as sleek and smooth as before. "Thanks Kuri. I'd hate to go around with a poofy tail…" The two got dressed in some training kimonos of Kagome's (A/N: We'll say she got some more sometime after the sword), brushed their hair and tails, and looked at their reflections in the spring. Kagome grinned at her new look. "I'd have never imagined I'd ever become a youkai…" she said happily.
"You know, that kimono really goes with your new stripes, Kagome," remarked Kuri, looking at the pink over shirt and pants appraisingly. "The black stripes accent your more feminine features too… Trying to look good for InuYasha…?"
Kagome growled at Kuri, but it wasn't a very threatening growl for the fact that Kagome knew Kuri was joking. "You know this one's the one Sango got me for my birthday." Kagome smiled after looking at Kuri. "The black outfit with blue stripes looks good on you… I figured it would." Kuri looked down at it with a slight smile. The sky blue stripes matched Kuri's natural stripes perfectly and were in the same places as the black ones on Kagome's outfit, above the waist and on the hips and ankles, exactly where Kagome and Kuri's stripes would be if they could be seen. The sleeves were short enough to show their striped wrists.
"I guess we're both gonna look good for the challenge… Who goes first?" asked Kuri with a smirk. "We don't want to get in each others way after all."
"Umm, I'll challenge InuYasha first. You get to challenge Sesshomaru after." Kuri blushed.
"Yeah… I hope he accepts my challenge…" 'I'm sure he'll understand what it means for me to challenge him after all…'
"What challenge did you pick, Kuri?" asked Kagome curiously.
"I decided since I'm not accustomed to this new body of mine yet, I'm gonna do the chase. It'll be more challenging for him, and I'll look better whether or not he catches me. Besides, I can't win a fight against a powerful youkai with nothing more than poison claws and my enhanced speed and strength." Kagome smiled and the two inuyoukai talked a little longer before heading back to camp.
---------------------------------------At the Campsite---------------------------------------
Kagome and Kuri returned to camp to find the camp up and bustling. Sango had already started the fire for breakfast. Kuri jumped into a tree in camp and avidly kept her eyes closed to keep her instincts under control. Kagome was just about to get the ramen out of her pack before her eyes met InuYasha's from the east side of camp. She dropped the pack, and her eyes began to flash before becoming full red. InuYasha looked at her as she stood within arms reach. "Catch me if you can, InuYasha…" said Kagome, eyes still locked on his, before she took off, heading west without even noticing that he had hidden his scent. InuYasha took off after her with a confident smirk.
---------------------------------------The First Challenge---------------------------------------
Kagome ran, twisting and zigzagging through the trees, ears focused behind her where she could hear InuYasha just keeping pace. She ran confidently with the knowledge that he wasn't getting any closer, but kept a close check on his position. So closely her demon instincts kept her focus on him, she didn't notice as the cliff walls appeared on either side. She ran on, faster when he sped up, slower when he relaxed his speed. Suddenly she shot off, speeding ahead of the hanyou. He became nervous that she had realized the trap and was trying to get there in time to clear the cliff. He ran faster.
True Kagome's Point Of View
The true Kagome behind the demonic instincts realized this was almost surely a trap, but her instincts were in control. She was actually glad for this because they didn't think ahead… They merely kept tabs on InuYasha's place. Kagome smiled to herself with the realization that he had actually thought the challenge through, even as her instinct driven body ran farther and faster into his trap. She smiled at the cliff wall in front of her once she had reached it, knowing InuYasha was near, but not hearing or smelling him. 'He must have really planned this thing out. How unlike him…'
InuYasha's Point of View
'She reached the edge. Now's the true test of skill. I have to sneak up on her.' InuYasha didn't so much as breathe as he inched closer, closer… 'Just a little farther and she's mine!'
-SNAP-
Kagome's inu ears swiveled to the sound and she turned her head.
Normal Point of View
Kagome's head turned to see the deer step on the twig, directly across from InuYasha's position. He wasn't going to get another chance in this place and he knew it. He leapt and grabbed the unaware Kagome around her waist and clutched her to his chest. "I win," he growled huskily in her ear, and smirked at the shiver it caused. Kagome's eyes slowly began to turn back to her normal honeyed hue as her instincts released their tightened hold. "I promised to tell Kuri when the challenge was over so she could make hers," said Kagome quietly. "After that… I'm all yours…" Kagome let off a howl, telling Kuri of InuYasha's victory in inuyoukai language, before she and InuYasha went somewhere private.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xio: I have to do this first.
Minnie: Don't hurt me, I didn't tell her to do it!
Xio: Patience is a virtue you know! -Runs from a mob of angry readers with pitchforks-
Minnie: Mmm, chocolate pudding! -
Xio: -yelling from far away- Don't you dare touch that, it's mine!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------At the Campsite---------------------------------------
After Kagome and InuYasha ran off, Sango stared. "Do you think we should follow?"
Kuri about fell from her tree. "NO! I mean, everything's okay… It's just that Kagome's in heat right now…" Sango looked up at Kuri.
"Then we have to keep InuYasha away from her! She was trying to run from him. Kirara!" Kirara bounded to Sango's side.
Kuri sweatdropped. "It's inuyoukai custom to challenge a potential mate for their worthiness to mate with them… That's what Kagome's doing. Leave them alone." Sango nodded slowly and went back to tending the fire.
"I can't believe it! She finally has clean blood and she would dirty it with that half-breed mongrel!" -WHACK- -THUD- -WHACK WHACK WHACK- -THWAP- -BAM- The annoying little toad was hit by several acorns from Kuri's tree, Sango's Hiraikutso, Miroku's staff, and a large rock from Sesshomaru's area. The attack was finished with a rather strong Fox Fire from Shippo, leaving Jaken scorched and blackened. Kuri's gaze was lowered, her honey eyes hidden from view by her bangs, but her smirk was easily visible. After a few moments, Kuri dropped out of the tree and hopped into the forest.
"Where's Kuri going Lord Sesshomaru?" asked Rin from his side. Sesshomaru looked down to her.
"She is probably hunting breakfast." Sure enough, Kuri emerged from the foliage but a little while later carrying a large deer. She skinned it and wordlessly handed it to Sango before returning to her tree, all the while keeping her eyes averted from Sesshomaru. 'If I look at him, I'll challenge him. I have to wait until Kagome's signal.'
'Why isn't she challenging me? I can smell the spice of her heat upon her, yet she doesn't so much as look at me… Perhaps it has to do with her departure this morning…' Sesshomaru watched her for a moment, before closing his eyes and looking away.
"Breakfast is ready," said Sango softly. Kuri looked at her for a moment, but looked away. 'If I eat, I'll be slower during the run…' Shippo, Rin, Kohaku, and Miroku rushed up and accepted their share. Kirara waited beside Sango until she was also handed a piece. Sesshomaru ignored the deer as well, and Jaken followed his example.
A long howl was heard from the direction Kagome had ran. Kuri, InuYasha won. You're up! Kagome howled out to Kuri. Kuri looked up with a large smile. She gracefully leapt from the tree and stood before Sesshomaru. Looking him in the eye with a blood red gaze she grinned. "If you want me, come get me…" She raced eastward. Sesshomaru smirked, causing Jaken to begin praying, and sped after her.
===========================FIRST LEMON===========================
---------------------------------------With InuYasha and Kagome---------------------------------------
Our couple, meanwhile, had found a nice, deserted cave with a stream nearby. It was dry, and around it was plenty of food and water. InuYasha grinned. 'Perfect for a few days of mating…' he thought with a lusty look towards his mate-to-be. Kagome shivered in anticipation. InuYasha stopped and turned to his love. "Kagome, I didn't get a chance to tell you how good you look in that outfit." He gave her another hungry look before he pounced on her for a ravishing kiss. She responded passionately, battling his tongue for dominance. Their tongues moved from her mouth to his as he removed her outer shirt and tossed it to the ground, revealing the skintight black undershirt. She pulled his outer shirt away and dropped it beside hers. InuYasha began to lift the hem of her undershirt. Her scent flared, thoroughly saturated with the honey scent of her arousal, even as they broke the kiss for air. He tore off her shirt, seeing her pale skin glowing in the summer air. He ran his claws lightly down her sides and she moaned in pleasure. He quickly removed his own undershirt and Kagome forced herself closer to him, her breasts crushed against his chest. Kagome gave him another moan as he ran his hands down her sides to her waist. Kagome's tail snaked around InuYasha's waist as she began rubbing his ears. InuYasha groaned and hardened under her touch. Kagome loosened InuYasha's pants and he let them fall, untying her sash to let hers do the same. InuYasha smirked at the sight of her in her bra and panties. 'Pink like her outfit…' Kagome trailed her claws lightly along his abdomen and chest, reveling in the pleasured shudders she received and the musky scent of his arousal. InuYasha ran his hands up through her hair to her new inu ears. He took them in his hands and began rubbing them like she did his so often. She moaned and heat shot through her. Her instincts deprived her of her natural modesty. 'So hot… I'm burning for his touch…' she thought as she feverishly tore off her bra and panties, leaving herself completely naked to InuYasha's eye. Her tail coiled around her waist as InuYasha looked hungrily at her, drinking in the sight of her from head to toe, before removing his last garment and casting it aside. He was bare to her, and for the first time she could see just how well endowed he was. He made his way back to her and left a burning trail of kisses from her jaw to the middle of her chest. She fisted her hands in his snowy hair as he flicked his claw against one of her nipples. He took it into his mouth and suckled like a pup, growling his approval of her mewling. The feel of his growl made her gasp. He slid his tongue over the tip then nibbled it, relishing as she moaned his name in pleasure. He released it only to latch onto her other breast. He gave it the same treatment before he found himself on his back, Kagome on top of him. "My turn." She grinned impishly at him as she grabbed him and squeezed lightly. He groaned in pleasure. "Oh Kamis…" Kagome rubbed her tail against his side and began pumping InuYasha's manhood, slowly, drinking in his approving sounds. She began kissing his jawline, then trailing down his neck, pausing to lick her courting mark, and down his chest. She swirled her tongue briefly in his belly button before continuing down to his member. InuYasha had watched her lustily until she lightly kissed the tip of him, then lapping up the drops of precum he had released. He closed his eyes and growled out his pleasure. She grinned and took him into her mouth. InuYasha's hands traveled to the top of her head, holding her in place. Kagome swirled her tongue around the tip of his manhood. At this InuYasha began pumping himself into her mouth, Kagome adapting to the movement and bobbing her head up and down on him. Just before his release he stopped and withdrew himself, Kagome giving him a confused look at his action. "I want the first time to be inside you," he answered to her unasked question. Kagome nodded. InuYasha flipped her over so that he would be on top. He licked down her abdomen to her flower, nearly drunk from her heady scent. He lowered his lips to her opening and planted little heated kisses on it. Grinning slightly, he ran his tongue over it, appreciative of the mewls she gave voice to, as well as an arousing growl. Her hands again found their way to his silvery mane as he lapped at her bud. She moaned his name loudly as he dipped a claw into her, bucking her hips at the feel of him inside her. He slipped in a second, not pausing in his licks, as he felt her walls begin to shudder. Her eyes rolled back into her head and she cried his name as she felt her first orgasm. He lapped up her juices, loving the taste of her. Kagome couldn't take much more of his torture. "InuYasha, I need you inside of me. Please InuYasha…" she gasped. InuYasha came back up, his manhood at her entrance. He paused, unsure and afraid he might hurt her, but she made the decision for him by bucking her hips up and taking him in. InuYasha grunted as he slid inside of her, her walls slick from her earlier orgasm. He broke through her barrier but was surprised to hear no cry of pain. He stopped moving anyways. "Did I hurt you?" he asked with a little worry. "No… I felt it, but it didn't really hurt…" After a few moments of no movement, she scowled at him and pushed her hips up, forcing him deeper inside of her. She mewled at the feel and InuYasha took the hint to begin moving. He began to move slowly, but she growled impatiently at the pace. "I'm a demon, I won't break…" Her tone softened. "Let go InuYasha. I can take anything you give me, and I want both of us to enjoy this." He responded to her request by speeding up, she keeping time with every thrust of his hips. She moaned and mewled, giving growling purrs as he pushed deeper into her with every move. He grunted as her walls again began to shiver, muscles contracting, pulling him in and squeezing his member tightly. She howled out his name to the sky as she felt her second climax. Her juices flowed over his tip, bringing him over the edge. His howls of her name joined hers before he bit into the junction of her neck and shoulder; her still reeling from the force of her orgasm, and she favored his mark with one of her own. Both gave a tired smile as the mating marks and courting marks both glowed and became permanent. Kagome snuggled into InuYasha's side before giving into her exhaustion and falling asleep, her mate following soon after.
========================END LEMON=======================
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xio: I hope that wasn't too bad… It was my first descriptive lemon…
Minnie: It shows.
Xio: Eh heh heh… Well, I am still a virgin you know… I really don't know much about the subject… Except what I've read of course…
Minnie: Hentai…
Xio: Self-proclaimed hentai my friend. Well, back to the story.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------The Second Challenge------------------------------------
Kuri ran with her scent masked, leaping over boulders and fallen trees. She could hear Sesshomaru gaining, so with a scary grin she sped up, running towards the smell of running water. (A/N: Minnie: Does running water really smell different? Xio: I say it does because it doesn't have time to grow that moldy mossy stuff.) A few minutes led Kuri to a large river. Sesshomaru watched with wide eyes as she dived in and swam with the current. He followed from the side until it became apparent he'd have to follow to win. 'And this Sesshomaru always wins.' He dove in and began to catch up. Seeing that her water chase wasn't working, Kuri leapt out of the water and ran to the right. She used all her speed to get far enough ahead he couldn't see her, then jumped from tree to tree heading eastward again. What Kuri didn't realize was that Sesshomaru had taken to the air to follow her.
True Kuri's Point of View
'Where is he? I can't believe my instincts alone could have outwitted him, and I definitely didn't plan anything… He should be able to follow the water smell…' Kuri saddened even as her instincts drove her further into the forest depths. She sprang out from the trees to find a clearing with a lake and a large, dark cave entrance. Kuri sniffed around for Sesshomaru. 'Wild pears, strawberries… fish from the lake… herbs… a deer… rabbits… but no Sesshomaru?' She gasped in surprise as something suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled her up, knocking the breath out of her. "I always get what I want, dear Kuri…"
Normal Point of View
The crimson slowly bled from Kuri's eyes as her instincts admitted Sesshomaru's victory. "You wanted me?" she asked teasingly. Sesshomaru looked at her with a lidded gaze.
"If I hadn't wanted you, I would have let you run on without a chase…" Kuri smiled. "You found a perfect place to run to, my mate," said Sesshomaru with a hint of a smile. "I hope you like it, seeing as you'll be here awhile." Kuri merely shivered, knowing she'd be his alone for the next three days. "Do you like it?" she asked suddenly.
He looked at her. "It has shelter, food, water, and I believe there is a hot spring in the cave. It is adequate for the remainder of your heat."
Kuri looked at him. "That's not what I meant. I meant the situation. How I just came into heat and we just started courting yesterday."
"I am perfectly fine with the situation."
She stuck her tongue out. "So serious…"
"I am normally a serious person."
"But now's not the time for seriousness Sesshy, now's the time for play," she purred with a lusty look towards him and a seductive grin. Her grin grew as she smelled his arousal.
"You realize if you play with me you'll lose?" he replied with a cocky smirk.
"Oh, but in losing I win a far greater prize… If you're not too busy being serious to play with me…" she said with an alluring grin. Suddenly she had an evil thought. She shot him a grin as she walked to the cave. "I'm going to take a nap," she called to him, hiding a smirk. He growled.
"You believe that you can get away so easily?" He smirked at her. "I shall make love to you until you cannot walk."
Kuri turned back and grinned. "Oh really? Can you back it up? It'll take more than you might think just to wear me out for tonight, let alone tomorrow."
"Good. If you have the stamina this might be an interesting few days after all." Sesshomaru smirked. "Though I doubt you'll be in any condition for more in the morning."
==========================SECOND LEMON==========================
"You just keep thinking that," Kuri retorted, before heading into the cave. Sesshomaru followed at a leisurely pace. He walked up behind her and grabbed her, turning her in his arms to face him. He bent down smashed his lips against hers for a fiery kiss. She gasped as his tongue swept across her lower lip, allowing him access to her mouth. She moaned when his tongue stroked hers, and she responded fervently. His tongue coaxed hers to follow back into his mouth, where Kuri eagerly explored. Her tongue brushed his fangs and she smiled into the kiss as he hardened against her. They broke for air and Kuri began stripping right in front of him. She debated for a second before throwing her bra behind her and sneaking a look back quickly. 'Bulls-eye!' The bra was hanging off his head but he was too focused on Kuri's strip to remove it. She resisted a chuckle but her tail wagged enough to give her away. He said nothing and Kuri was surprised. She untied her sash and began to slip it down, before she felt Sesshomaru's hands sliding it down for her. She turned her head to give a questioning look, and he just grinned and trailed his claws down her sides as he pulled her pants further. She shivered. "Sessho…" Kuri's aroused honey scent filled the cave. She kicked her pants away and he drew her panties down. Suddenly she looked at Sesshomaru and pouted. "Here I am completely naked and you haven't removed a thing. Well, we'll have to change that, won't we?" She began removing his swords, placing them respectfully against a cave wall, which gave him a good look at her pale creamy rear. She grinned as his arousal smell became even stronger. She slowly leaned back up and began removing his haori. She let it fall as she contented herself removing the rest of his clothes. She untied his sash and allowed him to slide his pants and underclothes off for himself. He did so and Kuri let her eyes rove his body, smiling seductively the whole time. His tail at this time was curled on the floor, so, careful not to hurt it, she lay on the cave floor and sprawled out seductively, cuddling into his tail, and earning a raised eyebrow from Sesshomaru. She just grinned mischievously at his look and began stroking it. Her reward for this was a growling purr and the strengthening of his scent. Her own tail began to wag beside her. "So, you like my tail?" he asked. "Very much so, it's so fluffy and soft…" Looking at her lying there, he decided to give her a taste of her own medicine. He kneeled beside her tail and stroked it the same way she was stroking his. With a shuddering gasp, she stopped moving. He had slid his hand up to the base of her tail and began scratching lightly. Her scent grew even sweeter as he smirked at her reaction. Her response was a mix between a growl and a whimper as he stopped scratching and stood up, still smirking at her. She got up too. Noticing his mischievous look at her, she stared at him. "What are you up to?" she asked, cocking her head to the side in the famous curious puppy pose. Her eyes twinkled as he began to chuckle. "That's definitely a first for me… I've never heard you laugh before. You should do it more often… It's sexy," she said with a mischievous grin. "Perhaps I will with you around." She just smiled in response, before squealing as his tail quickly wrapped around her waist and dragged her up against him.
"You were planning that!" she accused with a playful huff.
"And if I was?" he replied with a quirked eyebrow.
"Then I'll just have to get you back."
"I'm waiting."
Kuri began rubbing him all over with her tail, smirking when she felt him shudder over his stomach. She removed her tail and proceeded to give him a tummy rub, grinning when he began his rumbling contented growl and his musky arousal scent flooded the air. Kuri grinned evilly and said in a sing-song voice "I just found your weak spot!" Sesshomaru just growled in annoyance. "Your stomach's such a bad place for a weak spot…" she purred, grinning as she thought of all the things she could do with such knowledge. She was broken from her thoughts as he began stroking her sides. She practically whimpered when brought his hands to her breasts and began fondling them. He licked his courting mark he had placed last night and was satisfied with her moan of delight. He sucked and nibbled it for a bit, before Sesshomaru stopped his attention on his mark to lightly push Kuri to the ground, using his tail to set her down gently. Sesshomaru turned his attention to her chest. He took one of her breasts in his mouth, torturing it with his teeth and tongue, while rolling the other between his forefinger and thumb, occasionally flicking his claws over it. He swapped the two, enjoying her mewling greatly. Kuri fisted her hands in his silky locks. Sesshomaru's tail ran down her sides, occasionally flicking between her thighs, making her flush with need. Kuri was shocked when his tail was replaced with his lips, kissing her flower and making her burn with desire. Sesshomaru slowly lapped at her, as she mewled and squirmed under his mouth. He found her button and gave it a slow lick, smirking to himself as she cried out his name. He suckled it a bit, before bringing one clawed finger to her opening, and inserting it into her. She cried out as he began to thrust it inside her, joining it with a second and making her nearly cross-eyed from the new sensations. He assaulted her bud in time with the thrusts of his fingers. Kuri couldn't take anymore, and she screamed his name as she experienced her first climax. Kuri slowly regained enough of her senses to realize she hadn't done as much as she wanted to. She pushed him over and sat on his waist. "Sesshy… I want a turn," she cooed with a grin. Sesshomaru just stared as she moved lower, trailing her tongue down his front as she did so. She paused at his belly button to swirl her tongue around it, and dip it in. His scent grew stronger, and Kuri fought the urge to continue lapping at his stomach. She continued her trail until she reached the his manhood. She looked up for a second, to meet the golden gaze of her mate-to-be. She shot him a desiring look before looking back down. She lapped the precum that had already spilled, and kissed his tip. He groaned out in pleasure as she took him into her mouth and began a pattern of suction, nips, and licks. His hands came to the crown of her bobbing head as if to hold her down. He began pumping into her mouth, and groaned loudly as his release came. She looked him straight in the eye as she swallowed his seed down, and licked her lips after. He began hardening again. Noting the look in his eye, and feeling impatient herself, she crawled off of him. She kneeled as she watched him get up, then allowed herself to be guided back on her back. "It may hurt, love," he said, giving her a tender look. Kuri gazed for a second, transfixed. It amazed her how different he was in this sacred act than at any other time. She smiled, and nodded to him. "What kind of demon could I possibly be if I couldn't handle a little pain?" she said, but the look in her eyes softened her scornful words. He positioned himself at her entrance, and thrust himself quickly into her. She winced, but the pain was not that great, and she found it soon replaced by a feeling of fullness to the point of overflow. She twisted a little trying to find a more comfortable position, but mewled at the feeling it caused. Sesshomaru began to pump inside her, slowly at first but more quickly as she began to meet him for every thrust. "Sesshy… Please, Sessho, faster!" she gasped out. At her plea, he sped his pace more, growling and grunting at every move. Kuri mewled and gave purring growls as she felt the stirrings of her second orgasm. She howled out his name as she came, the sound echoing through the cave. Her walls tightened and squeezed his member almost painfully, and caused him to reach his own climax. She whimpered in pleasure as he bit the junction of her neck and shoulder, leaving his claiming mark, and at his bite she left her own. Both lapped the small amount of blood that came after and watched as they became permanent, along with the initial courting mark.
===========================END LEMON=========================
Kuri snuggled into Sesshomaru's tail. She yawned, tired from the lack of food, chase, and 'exercise' after. "Sesshy," she began tiredly, "would you mind if I adopted Rin?" Sesshomaru looked at his new mate and smiled.
"I was planning on doing the same thing soon. I would be quite pleased if you adopted her."
"I love you, mate," mumbled Kuri, before falling asleep in Sesshomaru's arms.
"I love you too."

=I Say= I'm glad you had the courage to review signed in. You're the first flamer to do so. Unfortunately I am studying French, not Moron, so I can't decipher half of what you've written. What I did get: I do realize that I go too fast sometimes, I will admit that willingly, but for goodness sake, I'm just a fanfiction writer! I never claimed to be a professional! And I wanted Kuri and Kagome to understand one another because that ability was central for the plot. You don't like it? Too bad. It's my story, not yours! I don't care if you like it or not. I also don't care if you understand it or not. So just go back and keep writing your little contradictory poems. Thanks everyone for listening to my little rant. Well, Ja Ne!
