The First Time isn't Always Everything

Chapter 2

'Don't get up,' Kagome thought as she slowly rolled onto her back. 'I don't want to get up. It's Saturday. I shouldn't have to get up. I can sleep all day. It's not like I have anything to do. Don't get up, just don't get up.' But despite her mental encouragement, one blue eye half opened.

The orb was instantly met by the blinding light of the morning sun that streamed through a large window. She snapped her eye shut in response. 'Why did I do that?' she asked herself in exasperation. But with a small sigh, she cracked open one eye again. Once opened, she shut it, opening the opposite eye instead. Kagome continued in this pattern, one splitting open as the other closed shut.

After a few minutes of doing so, she let out a grunt, rolling onto her side and away from the window. She flung out her arm and was met by nothing but the cool expanse of silk sheets. Both of Kagome's eyes sprung open this time. She stared off at the other side of the large bed, noting blankly that it was quite empty. Judging by the temperature of the sheets, it had been empty for quite some time.

"He didn't?" she mumbled in shock as she raised her upper body from the bed. "He did! I can't believe it! He does this way too often," she continued.

Rolling out of the bed, she stretched her body momentarily. Looking around the room, she searched for her underwear amongst the random piles of discarded clothing. "Really, you would think that Mr. Perfection would have straightened all of this up by now," she again grumbled as she continued flinging about clothing. "Ah-hah!" Kagome triumphantly called out, holding up her lacy underwear in an outstretched hand.

Cocking her head to the side, she looked at the fabric in contemplation. 'You know,' she thought to herself, 'It really would be a waste to put these back on. I would just have to take them off to shower once again and it is not like I am going to be leaving in the next couple of minutes.' Nodding her head, she allowed the underwear to drop back to the floor. Instead, she grabbed the white sheet from the bed, pulling it off. Carefully, she wrapped the fabric around her body, tying it snugly so that it would not fall down as she walked. With a quick comb of her hair by her hand, she strode to the door.

"Now where could he be?" she asked as she began to walk slowly through the hall with her white, temporary dress trailing behind her. She paused for a moment, trying to remember exactly how to get around the large house. Despite her many visits, she could still not figure out where everything was. In reward, though, she could hear the soft clicks of a keyboard coming from down the hall. With a smile, she headed toward the sound, chuckling at herself for not thinking that Sesshomaru would most likely he in the study. 'He's the only one that I know that would willingly work on a Saturday.'

Kagome took a deep breath at the door before pushing it open. She was met with the sight of Sesshomaru, typing away at his computer at what seemed to be lightening speed. His long, silver strands were pulled back into a high pony-tail for once, complementing his delicate and well-structured facial features. His golden eyes stared hard at the computer screen, seeming to not notice her presence. The chiseled, defined chest was exposed to her hungry eyes, allowing her to greedily trace until the blue sleeping pants that were hung at his waist.

"Is there something I can help you with?" he asked her as he continued to type away, not even sparing her a glance.

"And is it your trademark to let your girlfriend wake up alone in bed on most days," she asked right back, placing her hands on her hips. "You know, it is not good for the self esteem to know that you have been left for work. Is your computer better than bed that I am?" Kagome teased with a smile.

At that, Sesshomaru stopped typing, titling his head to her with a raised eyebrow. "Hardly," he answered steadily. "Although my computer does not seem to have the stubborn streak that you possess."

Kagome laughed at his comment, her blue eyes sparkling. "I would hope so!"

The corners of Sesshomaru's mouth twitched as he moved to lean back in his leather chair. His eyes darted to the corner of the room. "Do you see the small brown box in the corner of the study?" he asked calmly.

Widening her eyes in amusement, she allowed her vision to divert from Sesshomaru to the direction in which he was speaking. "Yeah," she responded, quickly glancing back to Sesshomaru.

"Bring the box to me," he commanded, folding his hands in his lap.

Kagome clasped her hand together. "Oh, of course, your majesty!" she mocked lightly. "I forgot that your leg was cut off in the war," she continued as she grabbed the box and moved to Sesshomaru's side.

He quickly grabbed her by her waist, drawing her into his lap. His lips instantly caressed her ear as his arms wrapped themselves securely around her. "My leg might not have been saved in the war," he whispered seductively, "but to your advantage, other…valuable assets were spared." Kagome bushed instantly, melting into his embrace as he kissed her ear. "Now open the box, Kagome."

Complying, she began opening the flaps and tissue paper of the small box. Sesshomaru leaned back again, coolly watching her reactions and emotions as she sat on his lap. His expressionless eyes effortlessly masked the arrogant satisfaction that he felt when her enchanting blue eyes widened at the contents. Her head whipped to him, midnight strands tumbling through the air with her movement. There was still color in her cheeks and her pink lips were slightly parted from her sharp intake.

"You actually did it?" Kagome asked breathlessly.

"I usually complete my arrangements. I am not one to back down upon my word once it is given. Is this not what we agreed on?" Sesshomaru responded in a bored tone, as if she should have known this before hand.

Kagome blushed even more, lowering her eyes, unable to keep his heated gaze. "I know," she whispered. "It's just… It's hard to believe. This book is more personal than anything I have ever done. I mean it's our story, you and I." She smiled, running her hand over the leather cover in a loving caress. He had actually fastened a copy of their encounter, and their journey to a relationship. She raised her eyes to meet his once again. "It's beautiful. Thank you," she said, leaning towards him to place a tender kiss to his lips.

Sesshomaru's mouth dropped to her neck, placing open mouth kisses to the flesh as she moaned softly. "Think nothing of it, but there is more," he muttered against her. Letting out a giggle, Kagome shuffled through the box once again.

"Keys?" she asked, pulling out a small keychain. "What are these… Hey! Wait a minute! These are my keys!" Pulling away from his mouth, she glared at Sesshomaru. "Where did you find these?"

Sesshomaru smirked. "I borrowed them from you yesterday. I thought that you would be more grateful to have them returned to you," was his arrogant response.

With a huff, she squirmed in his arms. He frowned, tightening his hold on her. But, Kagome moved more, managing to slip from his hold. She jumped to her feet, turning herself to face him. "You took my keys?" she asked, narrowing her eyes slightly.

"If you insist. However, I feel that it was more of a temporary borrowing," he answered, watching her carefully.

"Why did you do that? I thought that I lost them! You could have told me that you had them!"

"Would you have stayed the night if you would have had your keys?" he asked, looking at her blankly.

Kagome huffed. "I don't know!" she cried out. "Maybe I would have if you had asked me. But why did we have to come here? What is so wrong about staying at my apartment?" she asked, placing the hand with the keys on her hip.

Sesshomaru shrugged lightly. "I do not approve of it," he said simply.

"Oh, allow me to apologize! Is my humble apartment not good enough for the great Sesshomaru?" she mocked, tossing her hands above her head. "Would I have to buy a mansion for you to consider spending the night at my place? Since when did you get even shallower than before? You never seemed to have a problem with its appearance before."

"I am not shallow, I merely have excellent taste," Sesshomaru returned calmly and rationally. "I have chosen you, haven't I? Would you degrade yourself enough to refer to yourself as a low-class woman? Although I do feel that your apartment is rather…meager for my taste that is not the reason as to why it lacks my approval."

Kagome froze, shocked by his words. Her wide, blue eyes blinked a few times but that was all of the movement that she made. She was worried that if she moved, Sesshomaru's confession would disappear and she would realize that it was just a dream. She stared at him for a few moments before taking a deep breath. "Then what is wrong with it, Sesshomaru?" she asked softly, hopefully.

"I do not feel that it is secure enough to protect you."

Her eyes immediately softened, touched by his sign of affection. It was not often that Sesshomaru was this open about his feelings. "Are you worried about me?" she asked with a slight smile.

"Perhaps," he answered shortly with a slight frown.

Her body relaxed. "Sesshomaru," she began, "you don't have to worry. I have been living there for six years and nothing has ever happened to me."

"Just because nothing has occurred does not mean that nothing ever will," he reasoned with hardening eyes.

"There is nothing wrong with the place. All the locks are as sturdy as ever. I will be fine," she claimed.

"You do not have to necessarily be in the apartment for something to happen. Your neighborhood has not exactly been prided on its safeness."

"Sesshomaru, I'm serious here…"

"It is hard to take your seriously in your current state of dress, Kagome," he replied, roving his eyes over her body.

With a blush, Kagome pulled the sheets closer to her body for protection. "You are avoiding the subject here," she reminded him.

"Very well, then allow me to continue. The area in which you live, although not the worst, is not ranked incredibly high. You are a single female with a rising popularity. These factors make your likeliness for some form of attack higher than most others. I do not like the idea of you being there."

Kagome sighed. "Fine. Then I will get an alarm system. Is that acceptable?" she asked, loosening her posture. If Sesshomaru kept this up, she would cave. 'Damn him and his persistence.'

Sesshomaru rose from his seat, standing tall before her. "It is a temporary solution. However, like I said before, attacks can also occur outside of your apartment." He began to stride closer to her. "I feel that a more permanent solution is needed."

"You want me to move, don't you?" Kagome asked softly as she gazed up into his intoxicating golden eyes. His gaze consumed her so much that she was only half paying attention to what she was saying. "And I suppose that you already have somewhere in mind?"

"I might," he answered with a smirk, wrapping his arms around her waist and drawing her against his body. "But that is not important right now. We can discuss that later. All that matters is your protection," he finished smoothly, knowing that it would make her melt. 'I must say, that was a miraculous job, even for one such as me,' he thought triumphantly.

"Yeah, later," Kagome agreed as she dropped the keys and book from her hands and wrapped them around Sesshomaru's neck, tugging slightly on it to pull him down to her.

With a growl, Sesshomaru complied, taking her mouth with his eagerly. Once his lips met her moist mouth, another primal growl ripped from him, causing Sesshomaru to tilt his head to encourage the kiss to deepen. Satisfied with her positive response, he began to trace his tongue over her lips, impatient to delve into the depths of her mouth. Kagome understood and opened for him, allowing Sesshomaru to fill her mouth with his invading appendage. She could not help the moan that slipped from her lips.

Sesshomaru wasted no time. Quickly, he pulled her tighter against him, sliding one hand down her body until it rested on her thigh. She shivered at his sensual touch but did not miss the slight squeeze on her thigh. In response, she lifted her legs effortlessly, hooking them around Sesshomaru's waist as best as she could with the constricting sheet. He began to walk with her attached to him, making sure that their heated kisses were never broken for more than a second.

They fumbled down the hall, slowly making their way to Sesshomaru's bedroom. But their journey was often temporary sidelined from their impatience to get closer to the other. Sesshomaru managed to press Kagome to the way, pushing her up slightly. He pushed against her, rubbing his growing erection against her through the thin barriers of pants and sheets. He would also break his hold from her lips, moving stead to taste the smooth flesh of her neck and exposed collar bone. Only her intense pleads would spur him into pulling her fully to him and continue the journey down the hall.

Once in the room, he wasted no time in laying her down upon the bed. Instantly, he pulled away Kagome's temporary clothing, exposing her bare and enticing body to his eyes. Growling approval and desire, he lowered himself onto her body, using his hands and lips to explore all of her. Kagome responded similarly, roaming her hands down his exposed back, pleased when he shuddered with pleasure. When he hit a practically sensitive area, she bucked her hips against his, whispering, "Please, Sesshomaru," huskily.

Smirking against his lips, he was about to enter her when the melodic ringer of Kagome's phone sounded. 'Of course,' he thought. 'After all, this is what always happens in these situations, ne?'

Shocked, Kagome began to pull back. But with a snarl, Sesshomaru began to pull her back to him. "Do not answer it, Kagome," he warned.

"But Sesshomaru," she weakly protested while half-moaning, turning her head to the ringing phone. "It could be important."

"Leave it," he answered, moving his hand to play with a breast. "They will leave a message. Focus on this now."

Biting her lip to conceal her moan, she quickly grabbed the phone. "Consider this payback," she explained, "for the time you left me one second from an orgasm because your phone rang." With that, she flipped open the phone, saying "hello" while keeping her gaze on Sesshomaru.

Pursing his lips and narrowing his eyes, Sesshomaru began to pull away from her. However, Kagome hooked her legs about his hips, preventing him from leaving. She shook her head and moved her free hand to rake across his back.

"Yeah," she said into the phone. "No, nothing much…..nothing, why?"

Kagome continued to subdue the angry Sesshomaru, this time running her hands through his scalp and pulling the ponytail from his hair, allowing the long strands to caress over both of their skin.

"Sure, that sounds good…Ok, I will see you then…Uh-huh…Bye!"

Sesshomaru tore the phone from her hands, tossing it onto the floor. His eyes were still murderous and he appeared to be slightly shaking from strain. Softening her eyes, she wrapped her arms around his, placing apologetic kisses to his body. While she did so, she pulled with her legs, encouraging him to enter her.

His head tilted down, glaring into her eyes as she caressed him. "Who was on the phone?" he asked angrily.

She smiled coyly, "Inuyasha."

"Bitch," he hissed.

"No, Kagome. But I am your Kagome," she whispered seductively. "Besides, you are the only Tashio that would ever be able to touch me in such a way."

"No one else," he whispered fiercely before taking her lips hungrily.

TBC…

Note: The bedroom scene has been edited by quite a bit...for the unedited version, follow the link in my profile.

A/N: Well there is another installment. Let me know how it was. I am not sure of the ending, but it will do for now. I might change it later.

Anyway, someone asked me how long this story will be. Honestly, I have no idea. I don't think it will be as long as the other, but I am guessing it will be between 10-20 chapters.
