Chapter 8: Kagome's Sexy Interlude
Kagome moaned as she slowly opened her eyes. Shippo was next to her, holding her hand as Sango placed a cool cloth on her head. "How are you feeling?" Sango asked.
"Ouch." She replied. Her lungs hurt like hell.
"Well, that's expected. You were squeezed pretty tight. Your ribs are purple." Sango said worriedly.
Kagome winced when she tried to sit up, and she asked for some water. Shippo handed her one of her water bottles. "What happened?" She asked.
"Sesshomaru saved you." InuYasha's cold voice cut in.
She turned to look at him. "Huh?" So he did come for her…
InuYasha gave her a cold, commanding look. "Kagome, what the hell is going on?"
Kagome moved her head to look at him, before moving her gaze to the sky. "Nothing is going on InuYasha. I don't know why Sesshomaru saved me – he hates humans, remember?"
InuYasha growled, standing up and towering over the Miko lying down in pain. "Then why the fuck did he claim you? And more to the point, what the fuck are you covered in, bitch?"
Kagome's vision shifted to the kimono that was open on top of her like a blanket. She could barely make out the top of the pattern of the Western Lands. Kagome sighed. "I don't know, InuYasha." Wasn't that the truth!
"Don't lie to me, wench!" He snarled back.
"I'm not!" She shouted, her words hissing as her lungs objected to the sudden inhale for extra breath.
"InuYasha, now is not the time for your attitude. Kagome is seriously hurt. Your brother did us a favor when he rescued Kagome. For now, let us rest and question his motives later." Miroku told the hanyou sternly.
InuYasha growled, before turning around and leaping into a tree to sulk. Sango turned to Miroku. "Miroku, could you leave for a moment? I want to put more salve on Kagome's wounds and check to see if the bruising went down."
Miroku sighed in disappointment. "Very well… I shall just go behind these trees…"
"And Shippo's going to keep you from peeping." She added without skipping a beat.
Shippo nodded, hopping after the monk whose head was down with tears in his eyes. "No trust…" He whispered.
"Oh, I trust him alright." Sango mumbled. "I trust him to touch my ass every chance he gets…"
This caused Kagome to laugh, before she winced. "Oh, Kagome! Please try to be still. Let me move your kimono and put some salve on it…"
Kagome smiled at Sango. "Non-sense, I just have to use some of my Miko powers."
Sango frowned at the younger woman. "Kagome-chan, you might not have enough energy…"
Kagome looked at her friend reassuringly. "If I don't, I'll just fall asleep. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Sango sighed. "Very well. I know better than to argue." Sango turned her head. "Shippo, you can let the lecher come out now."
Shippo and Miroku returned to find a glowing Kagome. A moment later, however, the glowing stopped, and Kagome was unconscious.
"Didn't stop her?" Miroku asked.
"It's pointless." Shippo said from his shoulder. "Oka-san is very stubborn. Besides, you know how she doesn't like us worrying over her."
Sango nodded, sitting next to her best friend. "Some rest will do all of us some good."
To that, Kilala meowed, and the three set about making camp.

(That idiot half-breed.) Sesshomaru seethed. He had been watching the group from a distance away, making sure that the Miko was fine. She was, after all, now his property.
In truth, the Demon Lord did not know what had come over him. He didn't know why he had given her that kimono. It had belonged to his mother, when she was alive, and Lady of the Western Lands. It was made of the finest silk and of a small fortune. However, when Sesshomaru spotted it, he felt almost compelled to give it to her. He knew what it would mean. Somehow, though, that thought appealed to him. His brother's rage only added to that satisfaction.
(Mine.) He purred, before turning away.

Aphrodite collapsed on her fluffy cloud. "This is ridiculous! I mean, come on!" She shouted in frustration.
A golden light shone in the corner of her eye, and she turned her head to view a quickly approaching Hermes. When the Messenger God reached her, he crossed his arms over his chest and smiled. "Hello there, Aphrodite."
The goddess sighed and sat up. "What is it now?" She asked.
The god with fluttering wings on his ankles let out a disappointed sigh. "Why do I never get a cheerful greeting?" He asked rhetorically. "I have a message from your father." He continued.
Aphrodite inspected her nails nonchalantly.
Hermes smirked, and continued. "He wishes to know why you are, and I quote, 'Meddling in the affairs of mortals in a land so far home.'" He put a deep tone in his voice to imitate the Thunder God.
Aphrodite glared at the floating man. "Tell my father that he has no right to pry, and that he meddles more that I." She rhymed.
Hermes shook his head. "You know he will not be pleased."
Aphrodite gave him a look.
"For my own curiosity, what are you doing here, exactly?" He asked, kneeling on the cloud to look at the lands of Japan below.
"If you must know, I am trying to play matchmaker with a stubborn Priestess and an arrogant Demon Lord so that they can save their stupid land." She growled, crossing her arms over her chest as she scowled.
Hermes laughed. "I do hope you tell me how this works out."
Aphrodite stuck her tongue out at the Messenger god. "The sooner you leave the sooner I can get back to work."
Hermes winked. "Feisty. Very well. Ciao!" He said, flying off the cloud and disappearing into a golden beam.
"Gods really are meddlesome beings…" Aphrodite cursed. "Now, what shall I do about those two stubborn mules?" She asked herself, leaning over the cloud down below not realizing how hypocritical she was.

Kagome awoke to the smell of food, and she tried to sit up. Kagome groaned, gaining the attention of the group as Shippo went over and helped her sit up and lean against a tree.
"How are you feeling, Kagome?" Sango asked, bringing over a bowl of Kagome's soup to her.
"Better." She answered with a smile. She looked down at herself, still covered in the silk kimono. She brought her hands out from underneath its warmth, petting the fabric before reaching out and taking the bowl. "Thanks, Sango. I'm starving." She said.
Shippo, seeing his mother better, started to show her some the drawings he had been working on while she was resting. Kagome smiled at her, working with her powers on her ribs. She decided to just try and dull the pain for now, so as not to pass out again. And it was working, for now.
Kilala came and sat in Kagome's lap, and the Miko readily responded to the mononoke's demand for petting. After all, Kagome did own the fire cat. Kilala meowed, waving both of her tails as her ears were massaged by Kagome, who was cooing at the cuteness of the thing.
Sango, who had been sitting next to her, started to shift nervously. "Um, Kagome-chan?" she asked.
Kagome looked up. "Yes Sango?" She responded.
"Do you, by any chance, happen to know why InuYasha's brother rescued you?"
"Half-brother!" They heard InuYasha correct from high up in a tree.
Kagome sighed, looking down at the kimono in her lap as she continued to pet the purring cat youkai. "I actually have no clue. Giving me the kimono, saving me from Naraku…" Kagome shook her head, a thought reaching her mind. "Of course. He just didn't want Naraku to get the Shard. Sesshomaru wants him destroyed just like the rest of us. That must be the only reason. He knew Naraku would be stronger with our Shards."
Whether or not that was to convince herself of Sango, it seemed to work. "That would make sense." Miroku added from a few feet away. Sango didn't push it, and for once no input came from InuYasha.
Kagome laid down again, Kilala in her lap and Shippo curled up beside her. "I'm going to take a nap, I'm still a bit tired."
Now InuYasha did have something to say. He jumped down from his hiding spot, pointing a finger where she lay. "Oh no, you don't! You've been sleeping most of the day! It's time to get up off your lazy ass and track us some Shards before that bastard does!"
"Sit." Kagome whispered, closing her eyes and turning away.
Sango and Miroku sighed, ignoring the string of colorful words coming from their frustrating friends as he was kissing the dirt.

Kagome slept trough the evening and night, waking up to the warm sun rays as they caressed her face. She yawned, stretching, and was relieved to find that there was hardly any pain, although she was horribly stiff.
She again turned her gaze to the kimono that was still draped over her. She stood, careful not to wake her sleeping son next to her. Kilala had returned to Sango's side last night, and Kagome moved to gather her bathing supplies. It felt like forever since she had been clean!
Shippo woke up as she stood, and looked up at her groggily. "Whe um yous goin mom ma…" He slurred.
Kagome smiled. "Shhh, it's ok. I'm all healthy, and I'm just going to take a bath. I'll be right back." She said.
Shippo nodded, dozing back to sleep. Kagome stood, grabbing her bows and arrows and walking away, being careful not to wake her friends.
Kagome smiled at the sight of the water. She breathed a sigh of relief and set her belongings down, slipping off her clothes and sinking into the warm water. That was the great thing about Feudal Japan – there were natural hot springs almost everywhere!
Kagome leaned against a rock, sinking down so that the water came up to her neck. The hot water did wonders to her sore body, and Kagome closed her eyes. It felt so good to relax for once…

Sesshomaru couldn't believe his luck. There she was, alone, naked, and unsuspecting…
He was a male. He couldn't resist…
88888888
Aphrodite's lips curled up into a smile. "Males… they always think with the wrong brain… though I personally see nothing wrong with that." She commented, getting comfortable to watch the show.
88888888
Kagome's senses tingled, alerting her that a strong demon was approaching. However, she knew that aura. Kagome's eyes snapped open. She made a move to get out, standing up in the now waist-high water, when there he was…
Kagome's breath caught in her throat. She always knew that Sesshomaru was the most attractive male she had ever seen, but right now… Kagome felt a rolling sensation in her lower stomach. She looked up at Sesshomaru's face, only to see his gaze now meeting her own but fixated somewhere lower...
Kagome's face became red so fast she thought she might faint from the blood rush. She quickly covered her chest before plopping back down into the water, looking down. Sesshomaru was pleased at this, and let a smirk grace his features. He himself had discarded his armor and haori for a bare chest and a white bathing haori pants. He slowly walked into the warm water, and he could almost feel the rising body heat from Kagome's embarrassed form. Any second now and that temper of hers would-
"Sesshomaru, what are you doing here?" She asked, still not looking up, her arms wrapped tight around her waist.
"I told you I do as I please, Miko. Make sure to remember that, I find myself repeating that too much."
Kagome's breath hitched in her throat as she was unsure whether or not to purify his ass to hell, or listen to him.
"This isn't right!" She spat, still not looking at him. "What if the others come-"
"You are mine now, Miko. I shall do with you as I please. And the half-breed is of no concern to this Sesshomaru."
Kagome blushed, trying not to laugh.
"What?" Sesshomaru snapped.
"You did it again." She said, giving up and letting loose a chuckle. "You referred to yourself in the third person again…" This time, Kagome laughed, but stopped when two fingers placed themselves under her chin. Her face was lifted up to look into the golden eyes of the TaiYoukai, and her eyes glazed over at how close they were. She couldn't help noticing, as her eyes traveled up, how much more muscular his chest was compared to InuYasha's, and that with only one arm!
She held her breath as he spoke, looking deep into her blue eyes. "Are you mocking this Sesshomaru?" He asked, raising an eyebrow delicately.
Kagome bit her bottom lip, Sesshomaru's eyes falling to her mouth. "Not at all." She answered.
Sesshomaru took a half step closer, so their bodies where almost touching, though Kagome's arms were still wrapped around her chest even though she now stood. Sesshomaru leaned closer to her. He brought his lips to her ear, his warm breath sending jolts of passion down Kagome's spine. "You're ribs are still somewhat bruised. You should take care of that." He said with a teasing tone in his words.
Kagome's stopped breathing for a moment. "I… umm…" Sesshomaru pulled back, his fingers still under her chin as he looked into her eyes.
"Thank you. For saving me, I mean." She spilled out, smiling slightly. "I want to repay you."
Sesshomaru glared down at the Miko. "That is unnecessary." He told her with authority.
"It is necessary, Sesshomaru." She said. Slowly, she raised her hands from her naked chest and placed them on what remained of his left arm. Her hands and his arm grew brightly for a moment, before she pulled away and smiled at her handiwork. "It didn't seem right, about you and your perfect-ness being without an arm." She smirked.
Sesshomaru looked down at his newly acquired appendage. He clenched his fist, smiling as it felt like his original arm. He turned to Kagome, suddenly completely aroused. Placing now both of his arms on either side of her head, he had her against the stones of the spring pressing her naked body with his own. Kagome tried to pull back, but he could tell by the scent of her arousal that she enjoyed this.
"You have given me my arm back." He told her, dangerously close to her lips.
"Um… yes…" Kagome breathed. She ran her tongue over her lips, Sesshomaru's eyes following the action. He pressed against her harder, and her mouth opened slightly in a pant.
"You are mine." He said.
Kagome brought her hands up to push slightly against his chest. "Wait, no! Hey, Sesshomaru! That remind me you arrogant prick of youkai! Sine when do you have the right to claim me?"
Sesshomaru bucked his hips against hers; his bathing pants the only thing between them as Kagome refused to let the moan escape her lips. "Since you have infatuated this Sesshomaru with your powers. You weave a spell around me that makes me think of nothing but you. You hold me prisoner. This is something that no woman, demoness or no, has done."
Kagome looked up at him, completely shocked. "What did you say?" She whispered.
"Wench, I told you I do not repeat myself!" He all but growled, grinding himself against her.
Kagome gave a gasp, before pushing against the TaiYoukai again. "Wait a minute, that can't be true! You hate me, you've tried to kill me, remember?" She threw at him. "What are you even doing? You're just messing with me, Sesshomaru! So that you can get my guard down and get to what ever it is that you want." She said glaring.
Her defiance made his inner demon rattle against its chains. It wanted the challenge, it wanted to tackle her and ride her till she couldn't stay conscious anymore. "You are wrong, Miko."
Kagome stopped pushing against his chest, and he slammed against her, nuzzling into her neck. "What do you mean, I'm wrong?" She barked out.
"You are wrong. How many times must I tell you I detest repeating myself!" He barked in reply, his control slipping faster than he imagined.
"Prove me wrong!" She said, pulling back to look into his eyes, her own blazing with fire. Sesshomaru took his new arm and hand, and grabbed the back of her neck, pulling her naked form flush against him.
"You're defiance makes my demon crave you." He said, holding her so tightly that it almost hurt. Her heart was beating quickly, her breath taken away at his boldness. There was no way this was the real Sesshomaru. I mean, come on, his name even means 'The Destroyer of Life'!
"You're intelligence in my Father's tomb surprised me. When you told InuYasha to pull out the sword and attempt to injure this Sesshomaru's pride, I knew I should be wary of you. Then when neither of us could pull it out, you, a mere human, did. However, I knew you were no mere human. My beast managed to do something that I had no allowed to happen since Father's death… it came loose. It wanted to claim you. That was the true reason that it transformed. After you were still alive from my poison attack, it knew that you were something… different."
Kagome shuddered at the husky tone in his voice. "Then why did you attack InuYasha?" She asked.
"Because the half-breed was defending you, and my Beast saw him as a challenger for you."
Kagome blushed, looking down her nose to his lips that were so close… so close…
"KAGOME!"
The Miko's eyes widened in fear as Sesshomaru's eyes became red with fury. (That damn filthy hanyou!) He raged.
Kagome's heart skipped a beat at his blood filled eyes, and did the first thing that came to mind. She brought both of her hands up to his face and pulled him in for a kiss.
Sesshomaru's beast was purring, and his eyes instantly returned to their golden hue.
"Go, quickly!" She told him. Without another word, he was gone.
InuYasha's enraged voice was getting closer. "Kagome, you bitch! Where are you-"
Kagome's scream rang through the air. "SIT!"
A loud boom was heard, before Kagome quickly dunked under the water and raised her powers to purify Sesshomaru's sent around her. She sprang out of the water, drying and dressing in her battle costume in record time. "Sit!" She shouted again when she heard him grumbling.
She gathered her belongings, tenderly folding the kimono before walking toward the hanyou with her bow and arrows.
She came to the red-clad hanyou who was deep in a hole, growling.
"I was taking a bath, you idiot!" Kagome told him, completely forgetting her injuries in favor of scolding the half demon.
"Feh, nothing I haven't seen before." He mumbled, sitting up.
Kagome's eyes blazed. "Sit!"
888888888
"Holy Hera, that was hot!" She breathed, fanning herself. "Tops to that, it was better than anything I could have come up with!" Aphrodite giggled.
