Chapter 13 Hot Flush

Kagome left the camp and released a breath she didn't know she was holding. 'What just happened? had I been turned on by the dragon lord? ' The sight heat that was slowly receding from the pit of her stomark was proof of that. Everything seemed to happen so fast. His masculine sent had over powered her and allowed her beast to rise up. Having the strong male pressed against her back made her fell protected, owned and complete. Realizing what she just thought she hunched over slightly, hand snapping to her forehead ruffling her bangs as she held it in place checking her temperature. She was hot and her cheeks felt as though stuck in a permanent blush. Something was not right! She felt an overpowering need to return to the male and rub her face all over him taking in more of his sent. Without realizing she had started to whimper and rub her legs together to create some much needed friction. Deciding something was wrong she looked in to Sango and Mirokus knowledge to see if anything like this had happened before. She wasn't normal and was a one of a kind 'maybe my two sides are battling one another and is burning me inside out?' flitting through her companions' memories and knowledge she came across the exact problem. But what she didn't understand was why it would be happening now! She worked it out to be prepared and she shouldn't be in heat for another two weeks! Nothing else matched her symptoms she was in her heat cycle which would last for three days! ' If I have dinner with Ryūkotsusei tonight I'm sure to try to mate him!' just the thought of him over her overpowering her, bathing in his sent, made a wave of arousal pass through her. Clenching her legs together, she started to breath deep trying to calm herself. She thought over all the possibilities for tonight. 'He said no mating! Do I trust him with that, even if I push him? I could just not go but what would he do to Kirara? I cant give myself to that will lead to one thing the way his mind was thinking.' She didn't particularly like the idea of being stuck with a male as self centered as Ryūkotsusei and a pup that would undoubtedly end up the same way. ' Ill have to try and mix some herbs to create a repressing tea Midoriko taught me' with that Kagome took off to where she had left her meat.

Arriving back in the village she saw Renia and Yori laughing together. She gave her meat to the village men who's eyes widened at her catch and went off to clean and skin the meat and separate it up. Never loosing eye contact with Renia and Yori she slunk into the shadows behind a hut. She didn't want to disturb them just as they were getting was about to walk off when they walked past her still chatting and laughing. Kagome froze thankfully they didn't see her. Just as they were about to round a corner a voice piped up rather loudly "mama why are you hidd..humm" Kagome clamped her hand over her pups mouth and scurried round the side of the hut before Yori looked back. Kagome held Shippo for a moment then glanced back around the hut to check Renia and Yori had gone. Sighing she slowly released Shippo who climbed on to her shoulder. "What's the mater mama you looked like you had someone chasing you? Is it because you smell funny?" Kagomes breath hitched 'Shippo can smell my heat? But its not meant to be able to be smelt by pups especially my own?' she new something was up her unnatural heat and the fact her pup could smelt it meant something was wrong. Realising Shippo was still waiting she answered him " I just wanted to give Yori and Renia some time alone" satisfied the kit looked round "You didn't find Kirara then?" at his dejected face she hastily replied "Oh I did! she'll um... be back by morning!" Shippo opened his mouth to query why she wasn't here. But when he turned to ask his mother, he only saw a glimpse the ends of Kagome raven hair disappearing into the miko hut.

In the enclosed space of the hut caused the heat in Kagomes body to escalate. She rummaged through herbs trying to find the herbs to create the repressing tea. The heat was so much that her vision became blurred and caused the herbs to become messed and scattered on the floor. Finally finding the herbs needed she turned and poured water into a small kettle and put it over the already lit fire to boil. The heat from the fire seemed cool against Kagomes skin. She could hear her beast moaning and howling for a male in the back of her head. The need was so great she feared for any of age male that might pass the hut. There was a strange sensation of wanting only Ryūkotsusei, this caused Kagome to pause and think about her predicament. Though she was in heat she still held on to consciousness and fought against her beast. If this had been a 'true heat' her beast would be free and rampaging for a male to sate her unending urges. ' I still have control but lust for that pompous ass of a dragon! He's done something all I can think of is his sent!' with a growl Kagome pushed herself off the wall that she had been leaning against and poured the boiling water on the herbs. Her growl grew louder as she thought of Ryūkotsusei and his smirk as she left his tent. Slowly sipping her tea she sighed as she instantly felt the effects of her heat receding. Looking over the mess she created she sighed and started sorting through the herbs. 'what am I going to do tonight if I go his sent will overpower me and I'm sure ill play right into his hands. Maybe I can sneak in and get Kirara out but I don't know where she is!' she sighed and through herself in to a seated position, head rested in her hands. Her pout slowly morphed into a evil smirk as she formed a plan in her head. "All I need is some dichwaterdoc' the evil smirk never left her face as she walked from the hut and headed toward the river. Many of the villagers who saw her felt sympathy for who ever was on the receiving end of such a look.
