Author's Notes: LOL! Man I love you guys! I was nearly dying of laughter and gratitude when I read the first set of reviews. Thanks so much guys! :P You made my day! And that's saying something since it's 12:40 in the morning.  I'm sorry these chapters have been taking longer and longer to come out.  It's the end of the school year, my last year in High School and it's been hectic.  But today (6/18) was my last day (THANK THE STARS) so I will have more time to write. I made this chapter a few pages longer, just for you guys!!! Enjoy.

Sex and Drugs

Chapter 6:  Sexual tension, Kagome's addiction?

Warning: This chapter contains lime content. Readers under 17 not allowed!

Inuyasha walked down the eerily silent and oddly dark corridor in an unknown, large house. Everything around him was marble.  He vaguely wondered where everyone was before shrugging it off and continuing down the hallway.

A faint, golden glow flickered at the end of the corridor that cast deep, dark shadows behind him.  Warily, he walked into the room, which he recognized as his bedroom, and blew out a long, deep sigh of relief. There was only Kagome laying on the king size bed wearing a suggestive smirk with a single candle on the old wooden table next to the bed.

Inuyasha grinned as he took in her scent.  He walked slowly over to where she lay and sat down next to her knees without saying a word.  He felt her legs wrap around his torso and a rumble started deep within his chest as she gave his shoulders a gentle squeeze.  All the tension from the day melted away under her ministrations, her magic fingers kneading away at a tight knot.

"That's right, angel. Right there. Right there. Mmm, that's the spot."

He grabbed her hand as it crept over his right shoulder and turned it upward to give her wrist a searing, chaste kiss. Heat began to tingle throughout his body as he pulled his love around so that she straddled his lap before giving her a hard, passionate kiss without mercy. She took it willingly. She sat down and applied pressure on his groin, he groaned.

"Ewe! Mommy and Daddy are doing It again!"

"That's gross!"

Inuyasha's head snapped up at the two strangely identical voices and spotted two little boys, twins, with silver hair and amber eyes.

"N-Nani!?" He choked out in surprise.

"What's the matter, love? It's just our two little ones coming in to say nighty night." Kagome cooed in his ear.

"NANI!?"

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"AHHHH!"

THUMP

Inuyasha woke up with such a start he promptly fell out of his bed.  His body was drenched in a cold sweat and as he inhaled with ragged breaths he clutched his thumping heart with a clawed hand. It felt like it would burst from his chest.

"Holy shit! What a nightmare!"

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

The day was Sunday, meaning no chores.  The four friends had taken advantage of the glorious, sunny day by sleeping late and wallowing in the sun.

Kagome eyed Inuyasha as he let out a huge yawn and wiped the tear from his eye. Was I dreaming? She wondered. Or did he really kiss me?  She continued to watch as he yawned again then plopped down on the ground to sit. Perhaps I was delusional. It was three in the morning, after all.

"What's the matter? Didn't get enough sleep? You only slept in until noon." She asked out of spite, trying to provoke some kind of conversation, even if it was an argument.  He shrugged and yawned again.  If I wasn't dreaming and if I wasn't delusional then he obviously thinks it isn't worth mentioning. I wonder what he's thinking?

The corners of Inuyasha's mouth quirked upwards just a bit as his eyes twinkled with mischief. Probably something perverted knowing him. Kagome tilted her head to the side and thought again. No, that's giving him too much credit.  He's probably not thinking at all. She grinned.

"Wanna go for a swim?" He asked randomly.

"What?"  Kagome eyes him suspiciously.  "I'm not going skinny-dipping with you." She added tersely.

"Keh. I didn't ask you to, angel. I asked if you wanted to go for a swim in the lake."  He pointed down the path surrounded by trees.  In the distance Kagome saw a faint glimmer, the glimmer of the sun on water. She immediately tensed.

"Eh, I think I'll pass. Thanks, though."

"What? Why!? It's a bazillion degrees!" He asked, annoyed. Kagome frowned at his obvious foul disposition.

"I can't swim. I've never been able to." [an: I know she can! But this is my story and I can write it as I please! Nyah!]

"Whaddya mean you can't swim?" He turned his head to face her.

"I…can't…swim. I almost drowned during swimming lessons. I vowed to never go in water deeper than my neck since then." She explained nonchalantly, though behind her façade Kagome felt an old fear.

"What a bunch of bullshit." He said before standing up and stretching.

"My, my, my. Someone's acting as if he was just told he was to be neutered." Kagome said, bitter irritation evident in her voice.

"Don't start with me today, bitch. I'm not in the mood."

"Wow? Really!? I would never have guessed!" She said with obvious sarcasm. "Don't call me a bitch."

"Keh." There was a pregnant pause. "Suit yourself then." Kagome watched with annoyance as he stalked down the path towards the lake. After fifteen paces he stopped and turned to her with a grin on his face, then yelled out,

"When will you give into my charms, angel, and let me bed you?"

Kagome rolled her eyes with disgust.  "When you stop being an ass."   He laughed then continued walking. "He has more mood swings than a woman going through menopause." She mumbled.

Kagome stood up and was about to walk away when she noticed that he had stopped walking again and was apparently listening for something. His ears twitched towards the direction of the sound, something she found very alluring. She cursed herself for even thinking it.

"What is it?" She asked.  He silenced her by putting a finger to his lips. He started walking back.

"There's a car coming up the road towards the dojo."  As he reached her she noticed his bad mood had returned.  He grabbed her arm roughly and all but dragged her back towards the dojo.

"Ow! Stop, Inuyasha! You're hurting me!" Kagome complained.  The grip on her arms lessened somewhat but he still walked on in silence.  "Inuyasha! Stop! What the hell do you think you're doing!?"

He stopped.  "Do you trust me?" He asked almost too earnestly, his mood changing once more.

"What?"

"I said, do you trust me?" He asked irritated. "What's the matter? Do you need a hearing aid?"

"I heard you just fine, jerk." She paused. "I…I guess so. I've only known you for about a month."

"Good enough.  Hop on."  He bent down and motioned for her to jump on his back.

"What?" She laughed.  "You want to give me a piggyback right? After you just bad-mouthed me?" She laughed harder.

"Damn it all to hell, angel.  Some bitch just got out of that car and she sounds and smells, if I'm smelling correctly that is, just like you, only a hell of a lot meaner." Kagome remained silent, taking in what he said.  "You're taking too damn long!" He grabbed her roughly and put her on his back before leaping into the air at a dangerous speed.  Kagome screamed… loudly.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"What's that awful sound!?" Sango asked while smacking away the hand that was creeping down her backside.

"I don't know." Miroku said while rubbing his offended hand. "Whatever it is, it needs to be put out of its misery." He said while opening the screen door to greet their guest.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

After the initial shock wore off Kagome began to enjoy the freedom she felt while flying through the air.  Granted, she wasn't truly flying, only leaping into the air, but it was the most glorious and free feeling she had ever felt.

She laughed into Inuyasha's ear and buried her face into his soft, silver hair.

Inuyasha grinned.  He knew there was a reason for this feeling of foreboding, but at the moment, with the girl giddy with laughter on his back, he just didn't care.  He jumped into the forest canopy above, and with amazing agility he jumped from tree limb to tree limb, reveling in the feeling of speed, flight, excitement, and a little bit of something else.

His feeling of euphoria didn't last long. As the dojo came into view he frowned, almost growled.

There she was, Kagome's physical replica, a little older perhaps. In expensive designer clothing she yelled at the taxi driver and looked down upon him with haughty disdain.

When she finally took notice of them bounding through the trees Inuyasha knew he wouldn't like her. Call it instinct if you will.  There was just something about her eyes that weren't deep, warm, and kind like Kagome's. No, they were shallow, cold, and they held no emotion at all.

What hell has been unleashed upon us? He thought as they came to a halt in front of the tall woman who gave them a saccharine smile.  It was then that he noticed that Kagome was very tense and her heart was beating much too quickly.

"Kagome! How simply smashing to see you! It's been a while!"  The falsely sweet lady awkwardly walked over to Kagome, her high heels getting stuck in the gravel driveway.  She nearly pulled Kagome off Inuyasha's back making him lose his balance and topple over to the ground.  She quickly pulled Kagome into a bone crushing hug and pushed her away again just as fast. "Oh, you've grown up so fast! You're a little pudgy on the sides, though. Hm, pity, your physique has such potential; it's too bad you let it go to waste." Kagome frowned, not saying anything.

Inuyasha growled menacingly. Sango sent him a knowing smirk that made Miroku frown.

"Who the hell are you!?" Inuyasha asked, his face set into a snarl.

"Oh how very impolite of my sister. She never did have any manners, so you must excuse her for not introducing me. I'm Kikyo Higurashi, Kagome's older sister." Inuyasha snorted derisively as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"What are you doing here, Kikyo?" Kagome finally spoke up.  Her voice was barely above a whisper, it was filled with pain.

"I'm on vacation, sister dear! The modeling agency was most reluctant to let me go, though, so I mustn't stay for more than a couple weeks. They wanted me to do a new line for Calvin Klein." Kikyo paused and took in their less than interested facial expressions. "They simply didn't want anyone else!" She continued earnestly. "They nearly begged me to stay. Poor delusional things, they just don't understand how overworked I am!"

Kagome stared at her sister blandly while twirling a lock of hair with her fingers.

"Kagome! Stop twirling your hair! That's why you have so many splint ends! Now I understand why your hair has such a stringy appearance." She tsked disapprovingly. "So now, which room is mine?" She walked towards the dojo and snapped her fingers at Inuyasha as she passed. "Be a good lad and get my things. I do hope this dilapidated building has air conditioning" She added as an afterthought.

"I'm sorry to say that there are no rooms available." Sango said. Kagome looked as though she could have kissed her.

"Oh, that's alright. I'll sleep in Kagome's room. She won't mind sleeping on the floor, will you Kaggy-chan?" Kagome groaned at the embarrassing childish name. "After all, a famous model such as me cannot sleep on the floor, it would ruin my posture. But Kagome on the other hand, whose posture is already ruined, won't mind at all." She walked into the dojo with everyone staring after her.

"Is it just me or did that… woman… just insult my best friend a total of six times in two minutes?" Miroku asked.

"She's a fucking bitch, that's what she is. And I say that as an insult." Inuyasha growled.

"Inuyasha! That's Kagome's sister! Say you're sorry!" Sango smacked him upside the head. He let out an enraged "HEY!".

"No, don't bother. She is a bitch." Kagome said.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"What are you doing here, Kikyo?" Kagome asked as she walked into her bedroom.  All of Kikyo's clothes were draped on the bed and chairs, completely covering every inch of space.

"Which shoes should I wear to supper tonight, Kagome?"

Kagome ignored her sister's question. "You didn't answer me. What are you doing here?" She asked again.

"Nor did you," Kikyo said sweetly. "Answer my question and I'll answer yours."

"The black ones." Kagome replied exasperated, pointing to a pair of black pumps.

"Still hopeless when it comes to fashion I see." Kikyo said while reaching for the red shoes instead.

When Kikyo didn't say anything after a minute Kagome let out a low growl of frustration. "Answer me, Kikyo, and cut the sweet sister crap! I am not an idiot!"

"Pity," She replied staring at her younger sibling.  The smile vanished from her face. A wicked and twisted grin replaced it. "Father sent me of course!"

Kagome felt the fear wash over her.  Her heart starting pumping madly. He knows! She thought, scared. He knows where I am! But how?!

"It's obvious that you are far to headstrong, stubborn, and disobedient to come home on your own accord. So he sent me to fetch you," She paused to look at Kagome with a seriousness Kagome had not thought she possessed. "by any means necessary." She added.

Kagome felt as if she were drowning.  The fear she felt stole her breath until she was greedily gasping in short, quick breaths of air.  There was a certain coldness, and ruthlessness in Kikyo's eyes that Kagome had not seen since her mother died.

It was a cold night, Kagome remembered.  The winds howled ferociously through the trees and made the walls of the house groan. Father was angry again, far angrier than Kagome had ever seen him before. He was yelling at her mother, saying some words to her that Kagome didn't understand, like 'slut', 'whore', and 'affair'.

Kagome tried to hide, but there was no place in the house that she could seek asylum, the yelling echoed off of every wall, into every room.  She remembered her seven year old self crying out for her sister, thirteen year old Kikyo, but Kikyo just watched as their father pushed their mother around. 

He had backed her into the wall, spit in her eyes, and slapped her across the face numerous times. She cried and pleaded, begging forgiveness. Forgiveness for what? Kagome wondered back then.  Now she knew and understood.

Kagome's mother tried skirting around the enraged man, but he wouldn't let her by. He pushed her again violently, and called her a prostitute.  She lost her balance and tripped over the rug. She fell down the open stairwell and into the basement; there was a sickening crunch on the cement ground. And then was silence.

Kagome cried and ran over to the stairs, almost tripping on the same rug in the process. She practically flew down the stairs to her mother's still body. One look at her told Kagome that her once sweet, kind, and generous mother was dead. Her neck had snapped back and had turned 180 degrees. 

Kagome, in shock, looked back up the stairs and into her sister's eyes. They were cold… and as hard as ice.

"She deserved what she got." Kikyo had said in a strangely calm voice. And then she turned and walked away.

Ever since that terrible evening the relationship between them, and the relationship between her and her father had come unhinged. Kikyo became cold and distant. When she was sixteen she signed a contract with a modeling agency. Her father became a drunk after Kikyo left and it got steadily worse over the weeks, months, and years. The verbal abuse was so terrible and when he was really drunk he slapped, punched, kicked, and tried to feel her up.  It was the most miserable eight years of Kagome's life.

Kagome was only just learning how to trust and live again. But now that Kikyo had come back, she felt like she was dead all over. Will I ever get better? Kagome wondered, stony faced, as she walked out of the room.

Sango watched Kagome as she left her bedroom and walk down the hall. Sango frowned, not really understanding what the heck was going on between the two sisters. The screen door downstairs slammed shut and Sango peered out her bedroom window. Kagome was walking down the same path she and Inuyasha had taken earlier that day.

As Kagome walked out of sight Sango contemplated whether or not she should follow her, and make her talk. There was something about that girl that made her secretive to all. She didn't even tell Miroku her troubles, and weren't they supposed to be best friends? There wasn't a soul in the world that Kagome would willingly open up to. No, that's not right. She recalled.  There was one person that she told her secrets to. There was one person, rather, one hanyou she could trust. Inuyasha.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Inuyasha paced the length of his bedroom, growling. Never in his life had he ever felt more pathetic, weak, and vulnerable as he did now. Not even when he was human! There were just too many complications at the moment.

First of all, there was last night. Kagome knew "his time of the month", but he knew he could trust her, that was a given. Secondly, there was the fact that he had given into temptation and had kissed her.Kami, I kissed her!  He felt warmth spread throughout his lower region as a familiar ache took place.

But she shied away from him after that, and today she didn't bring it up once! She's pretending it never happened!

And lastly there was Kikyo, the ultra-bitch. He thought, loathingly.

Inuyasha chewed on a claw, wondering what he should do, when he smelled Sango approaching. All thoughts vanished from his mind as she appeared in the doorway, with a frown on her face.

"She's upset, you know," Sango leaned against the doorway. "About her sister coming uninvited?"

"Who, angel – er - Kagome?" Inuyasha asked confused.

"Nooooooo," She said sarcastically. "Miroku had a surgical sex change without anyone EVER knowing so he could sleep with lesbians! Then his non-existent sister, who also had a sex change done, stopped by for a visit!"

"Fuck you, Sango." Inuyasha said bitingly. "And that's not so unbelievable, Miroku having a sex change done to sleep with lesbians. It's his favorite fantasy." Sango gave him a disgusted look. "Don't ask me how I know." He added gravely.

"That's revolting! Go talk to her!" She said abruptly.

"What? Why me!? You're a girl! You go do that – that "girl talk" crap!" When Sango said nothing he continued. "You know! Go paint each others' nails while talking then have pillow fights in your bras and panties!"

"My Kami are you the stereotypical male! You are such a pig!"

"Keh!"

"Listen to me, Inuyasha. Kagome and I are friends, but I notice whenever we talk your name is always brought up. About how great a guy you truly are, when you're not making perverted noises or comments, and how much she's come to really like you! She needs a good friend right now, and you're that good friend! Miroku, I'm sure, doesn't know half the things you do! Call it instinct if you will. And me? We've only just begun to get to know each other."

Inuyasha's pride and ego inflated dramatically. Maybe he still had a chance with her after all? Maybe he could still make her his – his angel. Inuyasha felt breathless at the thought. Sango's continued reprimand brought him back to reality.

"Furthermore, she trusts you above anyone else! And she cares for you! So stop being a stubborn jackass and go find her! Inuyasha! Are you even listening to me?"  Sango took of her shoe and threw it at his head.

"OUCH! You bitch!"

"Go fetch her, moron! She went down the path you two took earlier." She pointed out the window towards the path. When she took off her other shoe in warning Inuyasha ran for the stairs. Sango threw well, and she threw hard.

He ran out the front screen door, just narrowly avoiding a hard object thrown by the evil tempered Sango.  He grumbled and mumbled as he sniffed the air to see exactly where Kagome had gone. He needed to make her feel better, not just to appease the ferocious Sango, but because there was an overwhelming desire to make her feel better.

Inuyasha walked slowly down the path, Kagome's scent mixing in with every other scent in the forest, of animals, of pines, et cetera.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

The view was beautiful. And the dock was isolated and lonely. The blood red sun that was slowly dipping below the horizon cast a warm glow over the lake's water, making it an ethereal appearance.

Kagome was pleased to find a dock protruding out into the lake like a peninsula. She also took notice of the absence of all life forms. For once, she was happy for the lack of company, yet she couldn't figure out why she was lonely. Lonely, yet happy? It didn't make sense. She didn't know what to feel anymore.

She dangled her feet in the cool water, thankful for some relief from the unrelenting heat of a summer's day.

Her encounter with Kikyo left her with bad memories, repressed memories that were brought to the surface.

Looking around, Kagome saw a large boulder sticking out from the ground. It was just about half her height and it was covered with moss. Broken beer bottles and cigarette butts littered the soil around it. And Kagome remembered.

On her birthday three years ago some of Kagome's "friends" thought it would be interesting to take her to a secret place, a place that no one else knew about.  It was in the middle of the woods, miles away from the Shrine.

Kagome went with them, thankful to be out of the house. To her, being in the middle of no where in the middle of the night was far less scary than being stuck in the house with her father.

They took her there in secrecy; they blindfolded her and promised her that what they had planned would be loads of fun.

When they took the blindfold off Kagome found herself staring at a broken down hut with a giant rock next to it. They all went inside the hut and sat in a large circle. One of the three girls was shuffling around in a paper bag. She took out a bottle of whiskey and some tiny bags filled with white crystals.

"What is that stuff?" Kagome had asked.

"It's really great stuff called Crystal Meth." Another girl replied.

"Isn't that drugs? That crap can kill you guys! What're you doing with it?" She asked terrified. What had she gotten herself into?

"Not if you smoke it. Listen, we crush up the crystals, make joints, and smoke 'em, but we don't suck in the fumes, see? So we can't get hurt!"

Kagome was naïve back then. She didn't truly understand the dangers of crystal meth. She smoked one out of peer pressure and immediately felt herself in a state of euphoria.

After she got home that night she was violently ill.  She had never felt worse in her life. The headache was terrible. She cried from the pain, and she vomited all over the floor multiple times. The rest of the night seemed to last forever. Every time she looked at the clock there seemed to be three different times, instead of just one, and more than once she thought she saw snakes in her bed, and spiders crawling on her skin. She was hallucinating.

When she woke up at noon the next day Kagome vowed to never smoke or do any drugs ever again. When she fetched the paper later that day she nearly fainted. The headline on the front page read,

Teen Dies from Crystal Meth Overdose

After that day Kagome had only one friend. Miroku. No friend, no true friend, would pressure her into taking drugs or making her do something she didn't want to. And they had. They weren't true friends.  Kagome never spoke to them again after that.

Kagome woke from her reverie with a start as two strong hands planted themselves firmly on her shoulders. Startled, she grabbed a wrist with both hands and flipped the intruder over her shoulder and into the water, a move she learned in a defense class.

The intruder came to the surface sputtering and spitting out water.  Kagome's jaw dropped. She recognized those features! Silver hair, dog ears, lean, muscular physique? Inuyasha!

"Oy! What the fuck did you do that for!?" He yelled while swimming back to the dock. Kagome was beside herself with laughter.

"Gomen! Gomen, Inu – ha ha – yasha! I thought – ha ha – you were some – ha ha – psychopathic pervert!" Kagome said between laughs.

"I could be, ya know. I could lay you on your back, frisk you all night long… listen to you moan and groan my name, your sweaty-"

"HENTAI!" She interrupted him. She threw her shoe. It hit him in the head and sank to the bottom of the lake.

"OUCH! WHAT IS IT WITH GIRLS AND THROWING THEIR SHOES?" He roared, Kagome laughed before sitting back down on the dock and splashing some water at him with her foot.

A moments silence passed, Kagome watched Inuyasha float across the surface of the water.

"Why don't you come in and join me, angel?" Inuyasha asked after a few minutes of her staring.

"What? No, Inuyasha, I already told you I can't swim. And the water looks really deep." She sighed regretfully. How she would love to be able to go in there and cool off.

"You don't have to swim, angel, just hang on to me," Kagome gave him a wary look. "I won't try anything… promise." He added quickly.

"I dunno, Inuyasha…" Kagome hesitated.

"Fine. If you don't want to, then fine. I won't make you do something you don't want to." He said casually. 

Something inside Kagome snapped. A true friend wouldn't make me do anything I didn't want to. Kagome smiled, feeling happiness spread from head to toe. She motioned for Inuyasha to come to the dock. He swam over to her and looked at her questioningly.

"Promise you won't let me go?" She asked cautiously. He smiled and Kagome felt another wave of happiness spread throughout her body.

"I won't ever let you go, Kagome." He said seriously, and then paused for a moment before adding, "Think of it as a private swimming lesson."  Kagome watched as he held onto the dock with one hand and held the other out to her. "Just ease yourself in, angel, and hold on to me. I won't let ya fall."

Kagome slowly eased herself into the water, Inuyasha wrapping his free arm around her waist as she let go of the dock. She shivered slightly from the coldness of the water and Inuyasha's hand lightly brushing against the skin of her stomach. Don't start thinking like that now. She told herself crossly.

Once Kagome had both arms wrapped around his neck and her legs wrapped around his torso he let go of the dock and began swimming towards the center of the lake. She felt somewhat fearful, but she trusted Inuyasha, he wouldn't do anything against her will.

"There now, feel better?" He asked. She nodded. "Good, now can you let up on the vice grip around my neck? It's fucking hard to breathe!" He wheezed as she began laughing.

Time seemed to have stopped after that. Inuyasha swam around with Kagome clinging to him in a death grip. After a while though Kagome released his neck (for the most part) and began to feel more and more comfortable.

For the most part they were mainly silent, not daring to speak in case they got into another argument and ruined everything. Ruin everything? Ruin what exactly? Kagome thought incredulously.

A tiny part of Kagome felt… like… well, she didn't know what it felt like. It was a new feeling, one that she wasn't accustomed to, one that she definitely never felt before, even with her ex-boyfriend, Hojo. Man, that relationship was a mistake.

She felt her lips curl ever so slightly as she looked at her surroundings. The dark sky was beginning to take over the red and golden glow emitted from the waning sun. The lake sparkled under the moon that was starting to rise and crickets could be heard in the distance.  It was a feeling of contentment, Kagome realized. It was a feeling of trust, security, and warmth. Something she should have had growing up, but didn't.

The smile on her face vanished as she felt his golden eyes bore into her. She turned her head and shuddered involuntarily at the powerful look he gave her. She was in a trance, there was something so alluring, so wonderfully… forbidden… about his eyes that she just couldn't look away. She had to look away. I have to look away! Kami, Kagome! Just look away! Kami, no!

The trance was broken as Inuyasha looked away, almost ashamed. "Gomen, Kagome. For k-"

But Kagome wouldn't let him apologize. She found that she didn't want him to apologize, and she didn't even know what he was going to apologize for [but she had an idea]! She rested her head on his shoulder completely taking him by surprise.

As the girl nuzzled his neck with her face Inuyasha felt his body temperature rise a few degrees and he grinned. Angel? Slowly but surely, you will be mine. You will be mine.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"You are not looking at what I think you're looking at…right?" Miroku cowered beneath Sango's heated glare. He hastily shoved the magazine under his bed mattress and then smiled back guiltily at his precious.

"Why my lovely Sango! Whatever are you talking about?" He said without shame. To his utter terror Sango stalked over to her prey, pushed him off the bed [he landed with a loud thump on the floor] and pulled out the magazine which had colorful, photo quality images, with black bars in certain areas.  

Miroku laughed nervously as a tick appeared above Sango's left eye and deadly red flames showed up all around her. She stood about five feet away from him, livid as a wooden board, and within a second she stood two inches away from his face. She snapped the magazine in front of him, clearly awaiting his poor excuse of an explanation.

"You see, my lovely, lovely, lovely Sango…. I've recently begun to study the arts – heh heh – and as nude subjects are often used I thought I could brush up on my anatomy, hence the reason behind the…er… magazine."

"I don't think this," Sango pointed to a very large and very fake pair of breasts on page three. "Is part of her original anatomy!" She whispered to him in a deadly calm voice.  Miroku gulped. A raging Sango he could handle, a fuming Sango he could handle. A Sango with a giant boomerang looming over him dangerously he could even handle, but a calm Sango… now that was something to worry about.

"Sango, my love, you don't honestly think that that magazine is mine, do you?" Sango narrowed her eyes wickedly. "Inuyasha let me borrow it for a bit of light reading!"

"First its art, now its light reading. Your excuses are becoming more and more pathetic under the spotlight, Miroku." She said in the same whispering, dulcet tones as before. He gulped again.

Within seconds slightly high pitched yells echoed throughout the halls of the dojo. "PLEASE! I SWEAR! I ONLY HAVE IT FOR THE ARTICLES! SPAAAAAARE MEEEE!"

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"And then she looks at me and she says, she says 'I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee! Won't my mommy be so proud of me! I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee – uh oh! – it stung me!'" Kagome nearly fell over with laughter and Inuyasha wiped the tears from his eyes.

The two of them stumbled into the dojo and up the stairs while singing the song Kagome learned as a child.

"I'm squishing up my baby bumble bee, won't my mommy be so proud of me! I'm squishing up my baby bumble bee – uh oh! – I made a mess!" They sang in unison. They walked through the halls, arms linked, singing at the top of their lungs, banging into walls when one of them tripped. They were acting as if they were drunken teenagers coming home from a wild party. "I'm lickin' up my baby bumble bee! Won't my mommy be so proud of me! I'm lickin' up my baby bumble bee – uh oh! – I feel nauseous!"

They roared with laughter at the end of the line and literally fell into Inuyasha's bedroom with a crash. Inuyasha pulled Kagome up from the ground, took her arms and began dancing while she continued to laugh and sing. "I'm pukin' up my baby bumble bee! Won't my mommy be so proud of me!  I'm pukin' up my baby bumble bee – uh oh! – the toilet is overflowing!"

"OH SHIT!" Inuyasha yelled as he tripped over a chair. He grabbed Kagome, who squealed, just before going down and landing on the floor. They stayed on his floor laughing hard until the both of them were wheezing and gasping for air.

Inuyasha was first to notice their compromising situation as he was the one that was half on and half off of Kagome. The seriousness of the situation sank in and for the umpteenth time that day he felt heat travel to his loins; he moved slightly uncomfortable, all too aware of the location of the growing bulge inside his pants on Kagome's body. He raised that area off of her so she wouldn't feel it. What can I say? I'm one fucking horny sonofabitch.

When Kagome finally noticed how they had landed all laughter and mirth had dissipated. Her eyes grew wide, but surprisingly she felt no fear. Inuyasha was looking down at her with the same serious expression he had had earlier, and she could feel the heat radiating off his body through his damp clothes.

He closed his eyes and made a move to get up, a slight frown [or of pain?] on his face. Kagome felt a loss and rejection the moment he began to rise, and knew then she didn't want him to leave just yet. I have to know! So she wrapped her arms around his neck and prevented him from moving.

Then he smiled, and leaned in slowly, tantalizingly slowly until they were but a breath away, then he hesitated.  Kagome growled slightly and closed the gap between them, reassuring him that's what she wanted.

It was as sweet as she remembered… no, it was much sweeter. 

His firm lips brushed against hers a few times. He tried as hard as he could not to ravish her, not to take her then and there. He was more than ready, and that scared him. He sensed her nervousness and seriously considered backing off, moving away, saving her from the pain that he would leave her with once he left her for a new piece of fresh ass. Because that's all it ever was to him, just sex. It was always just sex; every girl that he had ever dated was just for sex. He could never become close to another girl. Not after the last time anyway. And that's all it is this time. Just sex. Just a good fuck. Kami, I really hope that's all it is.

But he didn't back away like he should have. Because at the exact moment these thoughts were going through his head she decided to bite his lip lightly. He groaned and lost all patience with himself as he ravished her mouth, begging for entrance, and then exploring it with his tongue.

He broke away and breathed heavily in her ear before nibbling Kagome's earlobe with his canines. He felt her shudder, then squirm beneath him, a new spicy scent filling his nostrils. He breathed it in deeply and continued the exploration of her neck, leaving hot, wet trails with his tongue, while firmly planting one hand on her hip and the other one on the side of her body between her arm and her chest. He dared not touch anything else.

Kagome gasped sharply at the wondrous new feeling of ecstasy. She was being consumed by this powerful new feeling, this white hot desire that seemed to course through her veins like a drug. A drug to which would become her addiction.

Kagome squirmed again from the rising heat between her legs and then let her hands roam around his back, memorizing every muscle, and loving how they moved beneath her fingers.

And then she moaned, loudly, as he gently cupped a breast through the fabric of her wet shirt, while searching for her mouth to drown out the moan escaping from it. She kissed him again and still the heat between her legs rose, and… what was that that just brushed against her inner thigh?

She arched beneath his touch as a hand began to slide under her shirt, over her stomach, and under her bra. He rubbed the taut nub in circles, enjoying the way it hardened beneath his fingers. She bit back a moan and continued to squirm before finally bending one of her legs between his and accidentally brushing against something large, and something hard. He groaned and started planting more kisses on her neck before descending to her neck line.

Kagome felt the pressure in her pelvic region increase as he lightly pushed his erection against her wetness, a low rumble beginning deep within the cavity of his chest.

Kagome was panting now. And as all rational thought became fuzzy, and her vision blurry she realized that this was the turning point in her life and in her relationship with Inuyasha. And she was afraid that if she didn't stop this now, there would be no turning back in another minute or two.

"Inu-Inuyasha, onegai. Stop, onegai! I can't!" She whimpered beneath his touch, her breast falling victim to his hand, his hot mouth descending lower and lower to the valley between her breasts. She whimpered again and he stopped abruptly before looking at her from beneath half-lidded, glazy eyes.

She watched as they slowly came into focus, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. She felt his weight lift from on top of her as he rolled over onto the floor next to her, grunting in frustration. Sheepishly she kneeled, leaned over him and pecked him on the lips before standing up and walking to the door, all too aware of her own evident arousal, and his.

She paused at the doorway, turned to look at him, and quietly whispered, "Thank you," and the left.

Once out of earshot Inuyasha growled in frustration. Angel, you will be the end of me. Kami, a month without fucking was so worth it though.

Author's Notes (again): Holy crap! That lime was so hard to write!  I don't even know why! I spent nearly an hour on two paragraphs! UGH!

Lol: sigh Did you know that you're a hypocrite? I quote, "dis story iz gettin crappier! there were more details in da first three chaps. u just lost urself a fan grl. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" If you don't like the story then why do you keep coming back to read the new chapters? And you say there were more details in the first three chapters. Did you know that quantity does not equal quality? Apparently you didn't because the last two chapters have received more reviews than all the others. And, by chance have you ever read any of Charles Dickens' works? Probably not since you have the grammar of a two year old, you wouldn't understand it. Anyway, I could write like Charles Dickens and include paragraphs and paragraphs and paragraphs of details about a clock ticking, but then that would be boring. Personally, I love Charles Dickens but I HATE how there are so many details. So I try to make as few details as possible without losing too much in the plot and structure of my story. That is how I write. It is my style.  Just like adding a ton of details is part of Charles Dickens' style. We all have our own style of writing. No one has a right to criticize someone for how he/she writes. Now, I could go on and on and on about how terrible a flame this is, but that would be boring and, personally, it isn't worth my time. Flame again when you're more worthy. I give this flame a 2.5/10, which is more than generous. Oh, and by the way… do I really care if I lost a "fan grl"? Not really. I write for the pleasure of writing, not to please others. That's an added bonus. Ciao.

kheylala709: Don't worry, you'll get fluff between them. You must be patient. It's not like Kagome can be nearly raped one night, be traumatized for the next 24 hours, then hump the nearest, hottest hanyou in sight grin These things take time.

darkeneddreams07: lol, why don't you have an account!? Go sign up, silly! :P You want a lemon for the monkey person? … I'm not sure if I can do that ; But I can do a lemon for Miroku and Sango, and later on I can do one for Inuyasha and Kagome… sound good? And I can't kill Kikyou… yet. She's got an important role, however evil and vile and sickening and mean and ewwy (lol) it may be!!!!

Psycho-Sk8er-Girl: Awe, thank you! I'm honored! blush Don't worry, Kikyou will ALWAYS be a bitch in ALL of my stories… and Inuyasha WILL beat up Kagome's dad. That's a given. nods twice Hell yeah!

Natsukiko : HA HA!  Sorry!!  I apologize! But sometimes a cliffy is the best way to go! It makes you wanna come back for more, ne?

shippouchan17: Will he take Kikyou over Kag? NEVER!  BUT… you will have to wait and see what happens….

live the rainbow: Lol, I'm scared.  I'm going to be hunted down like prey by a person who's login name is LIVE THE RAINBOW!? Lol, that is kinda creepy. :P :P :P :P :P

drake220: Over-the-top is exactly what I wanted Kikyou to be. I despise Kikyou with every fiber of my being. And no, there will not be a love triangle… well, not willingly. hint hint cough cough Major sneezeforeshadowingsneeze :P

Divine-Red-Crayon: rofl! Your review sent me into hysterics! Yes, I do believe we would get along just nicely evil glint in eye You never heard of macking before? Hm, shrugs must be a New Jersey thing….

gatogirl1: No, she wouldn't want Kagome to be raped. That is not in Kikyou's true nature (no matter how shallow I made her in this story). Yes she is working for Kagome's dad. And you will just have to find out whether or not she knows about Kagome and her father's "intimate" history.

Shae: No Kikyou will not steal Inuyasha. That will NEVER happen in one of my stories. And I will always update. I will always finish my stories unless I absolutely loath it and cannot write it anymore. This story will be finished, and once school ends for me and I graduate high school (June 24th! WOO!) then I will have more time to write and chapters will come out sooner!

RED HAT: ACK! How can you even SAY that!? cringes convulses falls over dies Never, ever, mention Kagome and Fluffy together!  Not to me! cries hysterically I'm an Inuyasha and Kagome fan ALL THE FREAKIN' WAY!  cries TO say that to me is a crime! I sentence you to twenty years of writing Inuyasha and Kagome lemons! And I sentence you to another twenty years of writing Naraku and FLUFFY lemons!  cringes Now that is something to cringe about.

Slvrstarlight: …………… Chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips? Pretty please? Then I'll add more to the other story!

foxylilraven : Shippou won't be in this story. sigh As much as I love Shippou he just won't fit in a story made for adults. It's too angsty, perverted, and soon-to-be-lemony. A little kitsune can't really fit in. He would just be a nuisance.

Sumechick15: Don't worry. I didn't think it was pronounced Some. I actually pronounced it as Soo-meh…close enough. :P

Inuyasha's Kagome: Well, I'm not entirely sure if Kagome is a virgin or not. Never really thought about it. Her dad never raped her. So that's that. BUT, who's to say she never had a serious relationship? In all the other stories she's very innocent, naïve, et cetera, but the way I've depicted her makes her out to be the exact opposite… only, she's not perverted like Inuyasha. So, hmm… I guess I'll have to think about it. That changes everything. It truly affects (effects? I can never remember which) the lemon I'm planning to write.  As for the drugs.  Drugs will not have a huge role in this story, more of a minor role… you'll either have learned about it this chapter (since I'm writing responses to reviews before the actual chapter) or next chapter.
