Chapter 2:
Renkotsu was feeling extremely possessive all of a sudden as he carried Kagome bridal style in his arms, and though she protested at first, Kagome eventually gave up her attempts to break his iron grip about her small frame.
'This is kind of nice…Whoa! Where did those thoughts come from' Kagome thought in panic at the drastic turn her thoughts had taken.
Still she couldn't deny that she enjoyed the feeling of Renkotsu's warmth wrapping about her, making her feel safe and protected. She suddenly felt sleepy as the steady rhythm of his heart beat solidly against her ear and lulled her into a peaceful state. She allowed a soft contented sigh slip from between her pouty lips and unconsciously snuggled deeper into his touch and slipped into a light slumber. Renkotsu felt her body press into his and delighted in the slight friction her movement caused. He wanted desperately to kiss her luscious lips. Hell he wanted to taste more than just her lips. He wanted it all and the fact that he couldn't have her was what drove his hunger for her body and made him crave every inch of her even more.
'Kami, she's so warm and soft…I want to just…' He stopped his thoughts there for fear he may go through with his perverse thoughts and jump the unsuspecting miko curled up in his arms. 'She doesn't even know how much she affects me by simply being around.'
Renkotsu couldn't believe he had developed such a burning desire for Kagome. She happened to be the very miko he had despised just because she was Inuyasha's wench. At first it was hard to see past that, but when he saw her in the clearing, looking like a rabbit caught in headlights, he began to see her for who she really was: a damn sexy miko. Everything about her called to him and the way she carried herself screamed virgin. He knew he would take pleasure in taking away the last remnants of her childhood and that when the time came and he did seduce her, she would too.
Renkotsu licked at his suddenly dry lips and swallowed hard—a nervous gesture—as he kept his intent gaze upon the miko in his arms; the red fullness of her lips; the rise and fall of her breasts; the pale, creamy skin that stretched tightly along her collarbone; the delicate features of her face. He took in all of it like a thirsty man drinking his last gulp of water from a stream.
He had to have her; taste her; feel her.
The urge was so strong now, her sweet smelling fragrance of virginity and flowers so potent, ripe and intoxicating he nearly gave into his desire to touch her and make her his. He didn't however and settled for just brushing his fingers lightly through the sweet smelling ebony tresses of her thick dark locks. She only stirred slightly in her sleep when he touched her and he decided to become bolder, kissing her hairline and breathing her delicious scent into his lungs. He nearly lost control when she moaned slightly in her sleep and he felt the slight stirrings of an erection in his pants.
'Shit' he cursed silently in his head.
Renkotsu knew if he didn't put her down and got away from her soon, he would ravish her body without restraint. He was thankful when Jakotsu found a small clearing where they could set up camp. Once he had laid the sleeping form of Kagome down on the ground, he stepped several feet away and took a slow intake of the fresh air around him, clearing his mind of the sleeping miko's enticing scent. After Jakotsu had set up a campfire they sat back to rest and wait for approaching dawn, when they would set out again.
"Hey Renkotsu, I'm kind of hungry. I'm gonna search the woods some food. I'll be right back."
Renkotsu wanted to beg Jakotsu to stay back at camp and watch Kagome and the campsite, because he didn't trust himself alone with her, but there was nothing he could do but watch as Jakotsu's back receded into the darkness that edged their campsite. For a while Renkotsu managed to avoid gazing at Kagome's sleeping form, but temptation got the better of him and he stared anyway. His eyes followed every dip and curve of her luscious body and imagined his hands following the same path. Perhaps even his lips, his tongue, his teeth. These thoughts made him instantly hard again and he tore his gaze away from her body only to glue his gaze back to her for again; she was waking up.
'What am I gonna do? It was hard enough trying to behave myself when she was asleep and now I have to keep my desires at bay when she's awake' he thought in panic.
Kagome shifted so that she was supporting her upper body weight with her arms and curled her legs underneath her. She held her right palm to her temple and felt the telltale throbbing of a killer headache beating against the inside of her skull. At first she couldn't discern where she was at first and simply shook her head lightly to try and clear her mind and focus. She remembered seeing Inuyasha kissing Kikyo and professing his love to her while she stood there watching, leaving her friends and then…and then…
'Oh my Kami! I was kidnapped by Renkotsu and Jakotsu' she thought with utter dread and realization.
Kagome swept her sleep-clouded eyes across her surrounding hoping that this was all a dream and that all those things she remembered never happened. However when her eyes fell upon the form of Renkotsu near a campfire, her hopes plummeted.
'So much for being a dream' she thought as reality mad her sick to her stomach.
Though reality wasn't what was making her stomach growl like a ravenous beast. She blushed lightly as she realized she was hungry. She looked up and hoped that Renkotsu hadn't heard her stomach growl so loudly, though the logical part of her mind told he had not seeing as he was three feet away. She forgot her embarrassment when her gaze fell upon him from across the flickering flames of the campfire between them. He looked so sexy with the campfire playing across his features, causing the sloping line of his jaw and the rest of his face stand out in unbelievable starkness that startled her.
'He's so handsome…like a perfect statue. Makes me want to run my hands along his body and feel if he's real or just a perfect marble statue.'
Unfortunately for her, Renkotsu felt her gaze upon him and swiveled his intense dark gaze to meet hers over the campfire, and though there was a reasonable distance between them, she felt as if he were right there, breathing sweet words along her neck and making her shiver. Of course the intense stare down across the campfire didn't last long for her stomach brought her back to the reality of the matter that she was still hungry. She looked away, with a blush tinting her cheek a faint pink as she reluctantly tore her gaze from his.
When she looked up again the blush was still ever present as she asked silently, "Do you have anything to eat?"
Renkotsu was surprised to hear her question, but hid it well and simply reached into the inner folds of his haori and pulled out an exotic looking fruit. He however didn't make a move to come over to her and hand it to her instead he held it out, waiting for her to come and get it. He wasn't doing it to tease her or anything, he was just afraid if he got too close he would lose control. He didn't want that, at least that's what he told himself.
'It's safer for her this way' he thought as he waited for the miko to come over to him and take the fruit.
Kagome swallowed slightly, as if gathering up her nerve and stood, crossing the distance between them and reaching out for the offered fruit. She jumped back as she felt a small jolt leap through her body when her hand brushed his. He bit back a groan and just watched as she took the fruit and sat near him, though she wasn't that close; she was nearly a foot and a half away. Still he could feel that heat radiating from her body; sense her presence, her scent; it drove him to the brink of insanity just to be near her without touching her. He silently prayed that Jakotsu returned and intervened lest he give into his desires.
Kagome bit into the fruit silently and the delicious flavor exploded into her mouth, filling her pallet with juicy chunks of fruit and juice. She was enjoying the fruit so much that she hadn't realized that some of the juice had dribbled down her chin. Renkotsu noticed however and couldn't stop himself from leaning in and licking away the sweet juice. He wasn't paying attention to the fruit's juice however, but rather the sweet taste of Kagome's skin rolling across his tongue. Kagome gasped at his sudden actions, but barely had time to catch her breath before his lips were suddenly upon hers, his tongue tasting, teasing.
Kagome barely knew how to react as the pressure of his lips on hers made questions spark though her mind. All her questions were forgotten though, when he brought her body closer to his with his hand at the small of her back. She gasped when she felt the warmth of his hands seep through the fabric of her uniform shirt and was shocked beyond belief when she felt his tongue snake its way into her mouth; an unexpected yet warm intrusion. Without realizing what she was doing, her hand dropped the exotic fruit she was holding and went up to encircle his neck hesitantly. Renkotsu couldn't help but let out a groan of approval when she responded to him and the sound vibrated into her mouth and snaked it way down her spine. She shivered lightly and gave herself up to him, easing against him.
'This is wrong" her mind screamed, but she tucked that thought away and continued to enjoy Renkotsu's kiss.
Renkotsu brought both his hands up her sides and they roamed to the front of her uniform shirt, resting lightly over her breasts. She moaned lightly when he brushed the pads of his thumbs across her breasts and she felt a tightening sensation as the peaks became hard. The breath trickled out of her then and she pulled back, a bright blush painting her cheeks. He would have loved to have gone after her and finished his ministrations; fanned the flames of desire he had set within her into a wild fire, but he didn't get the chance because Jakotsu had returned.
"Hey Renkotsu I caught us some fish", Jakotsu cried waving his right hand in the air and raising the string of fish in the air with his left.
'Curse that idiot for his damned timing' Renkotsu thought.
Given more time he could've had what he desired and then some, but it was probably for the best. That didn't mean he had to like it though. He'd had his appetizer and now he wanted the meal. She was forbidden to him, untouchable; his forbidden fruit, yet he wanted a taste…no, needed one.
And he would have a taste.
Soon…very soon.
