Wet


Bright blue eyes glowed with happiness as her light foot falls made their way towards the hot springs that graced her home. It wasn't often that Kagome Higurashi found herself alone and she was planning on taking full advantage of it.

Shippo had returned to the kitsune school to change out the scrolls he had borrowed. While he had been offered room and board he had refused to leave her side and instead borrowed scrolls to keep up with his learning. She had tried her best to convince him that it was fine for him to stay at the school yet it seemed her kit had inherited her stubbornness despite the fact that there was no blood between them.

Rin was helping Kaede with the daily chores and learning at the same time. Sadly some of the villagers voiced their discomfort at having an unwed pregnant woman tend to their needs. Let alone one with a 'demon spawn' in her stomach.

Snorting, she opened the shoji door to the hot springs enjoying the way the warm humid air stirred around her as she shut the door behind her closing off the cold winter air. The judgmental pricks.

Even so Rin was eager to step in and help Kaede, wanting to be like her mother, and she was loath to disappoint her daughter. Though if even one villager made a rude comment to her pup she would not hold her tongue.

Jaken was on a hunt for lavender tea, her current craving, after Sesshoumaru had returned from what she could only assume was freaking Hawaii with not only what she requested but a variety of fruit and meats the pup inside of her quieted down. Until just this morning at the wonderful hour of three am when it woke her up with a rather solid kick to her stomach demanding a tea that was only sold in villages near the coast due to it having to be imported.

Sesshoumaru himself had left the day before to handle some kind of dispute to the south of them, taking along Miroku and Kohaku. She knew it wouldn't be long until he returned, he was never gone for more then two weeks at a time. It was like he was worried she would go into labor at any second, honestly babies took more then four months to be ready to great the world, demon blood or not.

Setting her bathing items down she undid the ties of her three layered kimono, letting each layer fall to pool at her feet. She would deal with the many layers later, for now she just wanted to get into the warm water and let her body melt into it. She paused as she glanced down, a small frown on her lips as her gaze locked on her stomach. It was larger now, her pup growing at a rate faster then a normal human yet not as fast as a hanyou one.

She knew it was natural, part of the miracle of life yet it still made her self conscious. She had never had a very good opinion of herself and her ex husband had helped cement that. Mood souring at the thought of said man she shoved it down and moved to enter the beckoning waters, hoping to salvage what was left of her alone time.

She hissed as the hot water swallowed her to her shoulders, oh god it felt heavenly. It almost made her want to apologize to Sesshoumaru for calling it an unnecessary show of wealth.

Keyword, almost.

She mused it wasn't really his fault, he was a lord, he was used to such ornate shows of wealth. Even so he wasn't above roughing it in the woods, in fact Jaken had once told her they only spent a few months out of the year at the western stronghold. It was odd, if one had access to such luxuries during a time of such famine why did he prefer to roam the roads of Japan? She briefly wondered if it was the sense of freedom that it gave him? Jaken had once tried to explain the intricacies of youkai court to her and it seemed it was just as dangerous if not more so then human ones and it made her very happy to be a humble miko in a small village.

She wrinkled her nose as she began to wash her long locks. She could not imagine having to watch one's every word and action. Veiled threats and hidden jabs, just the thought of it annoyed her. She was not one to beat around the bush, if she had something to say she would, politics be damned.

It was no wonder Seshsoumaru stayed away as much as he could. Smiling at the thought of the western lord she shifted to rinse her locks. No matter how much one sought to unravel the mystery that was Sesshoumaru they would never truly understand him.

Sure she knew some of his tells but just as soon as she thought she had him figured out he threw her a curveball. It was never boring with him around and it made the mundane routine that had become her everyday life wilt and give way to excitement and anticipation.

He was a great lord yet he was not above holding back her hair as she puked. He prided himself on his pristine appearance yet he had often let Rin cling to him, her hands dirty from picking herbs and flowers. He was rumored to loath humans yet here he was spending more and more time on the outskirts of a human village. He was a powerful demon, one feared by many, yet he was so gentle when he rubbed her back or patted Rin's head. He enjoyed his solitude yet he allowed Shippo to trail after him and pester him with questions.

Suddenly he was all she could think about, his long silky hair, his deep golden eyes, his low rumbling voice and his strong hands. Cursing she felt an oh so familiar heat pool in her stomach, an ache began to throb between her thighs.

Her cheeks flushed as she became aroused, again, she knew it was the hormones. Added in the fact that he was the only adult male around, it was only natural for her to develop these feelings...these longings.

It didn't make it any less annoying or embarrassing though.

She shifted, the ache between her legs growing, she would have to shove it down, try to calm her racing heart. Yet the longer she sat there the more vivid her fantasies became and she cursed under her breath, it would seem her body would not listen to her. It demanded something, anything, to relieve the ache that was in her very core. It had been denied far too long, building up over the last few months and it would be ignored no more.

Sighing she decided to give in, there was no telling when she would have another chance. She was home alone and she knew the water would dilute the scent of her arousal. While canine youkai had a superior sense of smell it had been proven time and time again that water was one of their few weaknesses.

Mind made up she let her imagination run free, one hand snaking under the water while the other moved to cup her full breast. A hiss escaped her as her nipples hardened, her breasts were so sensitive, they were filling with milk to feed her pup. Shocks of pure pleasure shot down her spine as she rolled a hardened peak between her fingers.

"Oh fuck!" It was a low hissed moan, her breathing increasing as she worked herself over. It wouldn't take long, her whole body was sensitive. Throwing her head back she let her eyes slide shut as she worked herself.

Normally golden eyes were tinged pink as elfin ears picked up every sound that fell from pink plump lips from down the hall. Claws dug into the wooden frame of the front door, his other hand clenched around the small bag in his grasp. Jaken had sent word that the small miko was craving a particular blend of tea and he had taken it upon himself to acquire it. Seeing as the village he found himself in was near the coast it only made sense.

He had been called upon to handle a dispute between two minor lords, each fighting over the same patch of land. It was annoying but he knew it was his duty to try to help defuse the situation before it became a war, the monk and Kohaku had accompanied him merely hoping to alleviate the sense of boredom that had settled over them after the fall of the spider hanyou.

Sadly for the two humans it was a matter that had been settled quickly with a few cold words and annoyed glares from the lord of the west. He had quickly left the village, leaving the two humans behind to seek out their own small jobs, after acquiring the tea the miko had requested.

So as he froze in the doorway he could only grit his teeth, his fangs biting into his lower lip, he knew if he were to make his presence known the miko would be embarrassed and that would stress her and the pup growing in her stomach. It would be best if he left and kept it to himself. It was with stiff movements that he turned on his heel to make himself scarce until he was sure she was done.

He would use the time to take his own bath, his feet leading him towards a frozen river nearby. Far enough to give her the privacy she so desired yet well within distance should anything take the chance to attack her.
