Chapter 2 – Kagome's Frustrations
Kagome walked to the stream slowly. She attempted to rid herself of thoughts of Inuyasha along the way but they refused to leave her. The look on his face, the way he spoke her name. She reached the stream finally and removed her clothing. She was surprised that the water was enjoyable and not terribly cold.
She took out her razor and shaved her legs and armpits. It didn't matter to Kagome that no one in this era shaved. She refused to be hairy. She then washed her hair, massaging her scalp. She leaned back in the water and washed out the shampoo and conditioner from her hair. She took her body wash from her pack and lathered it into her washcloth. Slowly running the washcloth around her neck and upper back.
When she reached her breasts and brushed her wash cloth over her nipples shock waves of some unknown feeling went straight to her lower region. Finding that the feelings were enjoyable she did it again. Closing her eyes she imagined that it was Inuyasha touching her. Her hands traveled even lower, over her belly button and down to the place on her that had been aching for 2 days. She moaned out loud as the washcloth, slick with soap, glazed over her lips. Back up the washcloth came to fondle her breasts, Kagome couldn't believe how good it felt. She had never thought about trying this on herself until she saw Inuyasha doing it. Inuyasha…. Just the thought of him made Kagome brush the washcloth over her core again. Moaning out loud Kagome began running the washcloth up and down her slit. Pleasure of some unknown origin built up the pressure in her. She found that she was reaching for some unknown outcome. She moaned again, imagining Inuyasha touching her there instead. "Inuyasha.." She whispered as the pressure built. Just then, Kagome heard a growl come from her left.
She quickly submersed all but her head in the water and glanced to the side. Her eyes widened in fear at the figure standing on the opposite side of the stream. He was tall, formidable and his icy exterior would warn anyone that didn't know him that he was not someone to toy with. Kagome, fortunately or unfortunately knew him. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's frosty older brother stood there staring at Kagome. His thoughts were as usual his own. Nothing showed on his perfectly sculpted face. "What do you want Sesshomaru? Inuyasha is just over there" pointing to the opposite side of the river Kagome hoped that it would be deterrent enough to Sesshomaru that he would just leave. He did not. Instead he took a step forward and spoke. "Tell the half breed to leave my lands. I do not want to smell his foul stench on my lands." He paused and Kagome thought he would leave. Instead he continued to stare at her. She became increasingly uncomfortable as she could not discern his thoughts. She crossed her hands over her breasts and was about to speak when he beat her to it. "These lands are not safe enough for one such as yourself to be lewdly displaying your body. A lesser demon or human male may have taken what you were doing as an open invitation. I suggest you do such things in private next time." At that he left.
Kagome dunked her fevered body completely underwater and attempted to calm herself. She quickly got out of the water and toweled off. I can't believe he said that! How long was he watching?? Kagome's mind raced as she returned to the group.
Her stark appearance prompted Sango and Miroku to exchange questioning looks. They said nothing however. Inuyasha on the other hand, never one for subtlety, spoke up "Wench! What took you so long?" Kagome, not wanting a fight simply replied "I was relaxing Inuyasha. Now I'm tired so I think I'll just sleep ok?"
"Feh" Was his only reply.
Sesshomaru walked through the forest patrolling his lands like usual. He had left his ward and Jaken back at the camp for safety's sake.
Sensing his brother's wench he masked his yoki and approached her location with the intent to remove her from this life. How perfect. He thought. I can avenge my missing arm and weaken my brother with one stroke of Toki Jin. As he approached her location he realized that her destruction would be easier than he originally thought. He put his sword away and flexed his poison claws. She was bathing. He could smell the distinct smell of cherry blossoms as he approached the stream. He stepped from behind his cover and froze.
She was indeed bathing. She was rubbing a material lathered with soap over her neck. He clenched his fist as his eyes followed the soapy trail that trickled between her breasts. His body refused to move forward as he continued to stare. He watched her rub the cloth over her nipples and at the intake of her breath his own body reacted. Blood dripped, unknown, from his clenched fist as he continued to watch. His thoughts quickly turned from her destruction to something much more carnal. Her washcloth ran lower still to where he knew she would be tight and wet. His houri became constricting as he responded to what he was seeing. As she continued it became increasingly difficult to keep from approaching her. He knew from her clumsy attempts to pleasure herself that he was witnessing her first attempts at self gratification. Just then, as he was about to "help" with her lesson she spoke the one name he despised more than anything "Inuyasha."
Sesshomaru growled. Not so much at the name, but because it was at that point that the spell was broken and he realized what he was doing. Staring at a human with something other than hatred on his mind. He was disgusted with his body's reaction to a mere human. His growl, he realized, had been heard by his brother's wench. She quickly ducked under the water. To bad it was too late for the image of her breasts was already imprinted on his brain.
His mind drew back to his original reason for approaching her. For some reason, killing her was no longer on his mind. He felt though that to say nothing and just leave was to admit to her and himself that he had just been spying on her most private moment. He decided that the safest thing to do would be to warn her that next time, he would show her and the hanyou no mercy. "Tell the half breed to leave my lands. I do not want to smell his foul stench on my lands." He paused. Not sure if he should mention what he had witnessed. He stared at her body. He could clearly make out her form under the water although she must not realize it as she only covered her breasts. He realized at that moment how vulnerable she was and his beast roared to life.
He wanted her. He wanted to take her and then devour her until there was no evidence left of his indiscretion. The evidence of his desire was painfully restrained in his pants. More blood oozed from his clenched fists as his claws continued to draw his own blood. The pain brought his beast under control. He wanted to see her reaction to his knowing what she was doing earlier. . "These lands are not safe enough for one such as yourself to be lewdly displaying your body. A lesser demon or human male may have taken what you were doing as an open invitation. I suggest you do such things in private next time." Her widened eyes and the blush that reached below the water were almost his undoing. He found himself wanting to walk towards her and so before he could, he willed his body to leave the scene.
