Blood Rain: GUESS WHO'S BACK, MUDDFUCKAZ!!

Black Ice: (grins) She's so happy. Her birthday—well, ours, 'cause we share the same birthday—was today, September 24th, and her friend Candace is becoming her friend again.

Blood Rain: Fuck yeah, baby! I was in a little ol' slump for a while, but don't worry about me, kiddies, 'cause I AM BACK! And here to stay, too! (Leans in to whisper) But Black Ice might be on her way.

Black Ice: (glares, but a little weakly) Yeah...she's back alright. Anyway, she did come back for a reason.

Blood Rain: Right, I sure did. Um..this chapter contains quite limey content, and we are not talking Englishmen (sorry! Dirty joke!). So...y'know, kiddies beware. It's actually borderline lemon, but mostly a teaser.

About an hour and fifteen minute later, once Kagome was no longer sopping wet—that was when Inuyasha thought he'd cream himself—and squared away into some lounging clothes, there came a knock at the door.

"God, I hope that's Nanako." Inuyasha whimpered, dutifully tearing his eyes away from Kagome's sleeping form to answer the door. She was positioned much too provocatively to be dreaming anything innocent, and numerous times did Inuyasha have to remind himself of his oath to Nanako.

He answered the door with a cautiously optimistic smile, which fell from his face when he saw Gingitsune smiling back at him.

"Damn!" He swore, and the neko huffed, offended.

"Hey, asshole, you're the one who invited me here."

"No, that's not what I meant, Tsune-chan." Inuyasha amended with a sigh, and they sat on the couch. "I just...I thought you were Nanako."

"Kagome's mother?"

"Yes..."

"If you hate Kagome so much, why haven't you just left her here by herself? She seems like a big girl to me."

"She is, trust me." Inuyasha mumbled absently, and Gingitsune stared at him weirdly. "Gingitsune, listen. She's...not the same. She used to be all...sickly. Wan and unattractive. But now...she's almost irresistable!" He revealed in a panicked whisper. Gingitsune laughed.

"Boy, won't Shippou be glad to know he was right."

"That is no longer an important issue, Gingitsune." Inuyasha said firmly. "A while ago, I promised Nanako I wouldn't feed from her."

"...So?"

"With me, feeding is synonymous with fucking!"

"Again, I fail to see the problem."

"She is half-human, Gingitsune. If I fuck her, I'll end up losing control and biting her. And if I do that, Nanako will kill me!"

"She won't even know." Gingitsune waved him off boredly, flipping on the television. Inuyasha groaned, smacking himself in the forehead and glaring at her.

"For one thing, there will be a distinctive mark on her neck and Nanako will know it was me. For another, the girl is clearly a virgin, and if I deflower her, Nanako will know it was me. Get it?"

"I still say you're making something out of nothing, but whatever you say, dude." Gingitsune shrugged. "Where is she?"

"Asleep." Inuyasha spat, as if the very word were venomous.

"Ah. And where's her mother and Shippou?"

"Who the hell even knows?!" Inuyasha exploded. "This is probably all some dumb-ass plot to set me up with that—that beast in there!"

"Beast?" Gingitsune snickered. "But I thought you said she wasn't "ugly" anymore."

"I mean sexually."

"..." Gingitsune scratched her head, confused. "Okay, now you got me. I thought you didn't have sex with her."

"I haven't, damn it!"

"Hey, don't take your frustrations out on me, buttmunch." Gingitsune huffed, crossing her arms. "I'll beat your monkey ass cross-eyed." Inuyasha sighed again, leaning on the girl's shoulder.

"Forgive me, Tsune-chan." He murmured, sounding genuinely apologetic. "I'm just not used to being attracted to two women at once...it would be so much less complicated if it were only you." She pinked a little, but stroked his hair as if he were her child.

"Ah, don't worry. I'm sure that soon, Kagome will be back to normal. Then you can reset your sights solitarily on me." She teased, then gasped lightly when she felt Inuyasha's cool tongue against her warm neck.

"Too late for that." He grinned lustfully at her, that same tantalizing gaze he had given her that day in the alley. However, Gingitsune got the feeling that he was only transferring his lust and sexual frustration from Kagome onto her, and strangely enough, she found that it hurt her feelings.

All of a sudden sheepish, Gingitsune pushed him away, staring sideways to hide the slight pain stretching taut over her felid features.

"Don't...do that, Inuyasha." She mumbled. He blinked at her, brows furrowed in boyish vexation.

"Did I do something wrong?" And she realized that he hadn't even been aware of his emotional transference—it was only subconscious! She initially expected that to make her feel better, but it only had the opposite effect of making her feel worse. He'd been telling the truth when he said he was attracted to them both; Gingitsune had been under the impression that it was another of his offhanded compliments.

"No." She said belatedly, having been too caught up in her thoughts to see he'd been waiting on an answer. "I'm just not feeling great. Royama-san gave us back those tests today and I tanked on it. It's just been on my mind for a while, that's all." Luckily for her, Inuyasha, being an egocentric male, was denser than he let on, or at least, it seemed that way. He laughed mockingly.

"Now that's priceless! The great Gingitsune, who brags about being the smartest person in the entire senior class, flunked a math test! HA!" Gingitsune chuckled, at first half-heartedly, but then it gradually got more genuine.

"Don't be so smug, asshole." She grinned. "You did worse than me." Inuyasha actually choked on his laughter and pouted.

"Well, that sucks..."

"What's so funny in here?" The tension in the room returned with a vengeance as the two looked at the yawning kyuuketsuki standing in the doorway of the bedroom.

"Hi, Kagome." Gingitsune waved congenially, despite the sudden wave of jealousy that roared within her. Kagome blinked, startled.

"You...know me?" Then she saw Inuyasha and laughed her new, naturally sultry laugh that made him want to stand at attention. "Oh, I get it! You must be dating the boy!" She clapped slowly and sardonically, while Gingitsune's face flared up.

"What?!"

"You're his girlfriend, aren't you? If so, I applaud you."

"Of course she's my girlfriend." Inuyasha snorted, crossing his arms, and Gingitsune stared at him wildly.

"WHAT?!"

"Well, duh, Tsune-chan. You're my friend who just happens to be a girl." Inuyasha shook his head, as if this was the most obvious thing in the world.

"That's always fun, am I right?" Kagome remarked lazily, plopping on the couch between the two. "So...any idea when my mother is to return? I'd also appreciate knowing who you people are."

"Well, I'm Gingitsune—I'm good friends with your human...or hanketsuki, whichever." Gingitsune smiled. "And I don't know when your mom's supposed to be back."

"Ah...interesting." Kagome smiled languorously, holding out her hand to be shaken. Gingitsune complied, continuing, "And this is Inuyasha, who, I guess, hates you or something."

"So sad." Kagome mock-lamented.

"Yeah, I know. But it's okay, because as far as I know, you hate him too!" Gingitsune beamed, and Kagome chuckled, flipping her hair out of her face.

"I like you, Gingitsune. You're my kind of girl." Inuyasha's jaw dropped and he whimpered a little.

Please don't tell me she prefers females...kinky, but useless to me!

As if reading his very mind, Kagome said with a small yawn, "Don't worry yourself, boy. Girls are cute and even fun sometimes, but I'd much rather a male." She gazed at him with smouldering eyes that trapped him within their shimmering depths. Gingitsune cleared her throat a bit, feeling extremely third wheel, and said loudly, "Um...so...Kagome, how long are you gonna be a full-blooded vampire?"

"Only for a few days." She shrugged. "Quite suckish, really—it's the reason Mother's trying to pawn me off onto a full-breed, so I won't have to at least look human anymore. I do love my father, and if he had even a drop of vampire blood in him, he would be pretty high in the power structure, but it's very unfortunate he was born a human."

"So what does your father do?" Inuyasha asked innocently, and Kagome laughed her sexy laugh again.

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

"Jeez, Inuyasha, get off the girl's case." Gingitsune rolled her eyes, and Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at her.

"Hey, damn it, I want to know!"

"And why is that, Inuyasha?" Kagome yawned, quirking an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I'd like to know that, too." Inuyasha glared at both of them and got up from the couch.

"You know what? I don't have to take this crap. You're awake now, so you can live until Nanako comes back. C'mon, Gingitsune, let's go."

"Why such the overreaction, Inuyasha?"

"Don't say my name." Inuyasha snapped at the pale girl, and Gingitsune shook her head, amused.

"Inuyasha, listen, you should stay here. Nanako will be pissed if she comes back and you're not. I, however, need to go home and study my furry tail off." Inuyasha stared in disbelief as she waved goodbye before leaving the apartment.

"Son-of-a..." He shook his head.

Outside the complex, Gingitsune was startled to see the pensive Houjou standing right outside, staring up at the sky.

"Houjou?" She blinked, touching his shoulder. It took a few moments for him to look at her and recognize her.

"Gingitsune. What are you doing here?"

"I just...I was visiting a friend—what are you doing here?"

"Same. Well, actually...I think I'm lost." He chuckled in self-deprecation. "Stupid of me, right?"

"Nah." She waved him off. "I do stupid things all the time. Who are you looking for?"

"I think I'm going to go home now, actually."

"Well, okay. You can walk with me if you want." Houjou smiled.

"I would like that." The two began walking, and he surreptitiously admired her shapely form, his thoughts taking a turn for the more perverted...

"Oh, cheer up, sulky boots." Kagome purred, grinning at him as he restlessly paced the room.

"Shut up!" He snarled, desperately wishing to discourage her sexual connotations in everything she said, but to no avail, especially since Gingitsune left.

"Why so pissy? I'm merely trying to cheer you up a little." She looked down curiously at her softly growling stomach.

"Look, bitch, the only reason I'm even here is because I'm trying to get in good with your mother. That's it. I don't even need you talking to me."

"...I'm hungry." She said, sitting up straight.

"Yeah? What do you want me to do about it?" Inuyasha mumbled, though he knew exactly what this entailed. He didn't know much about half-breeds, but he did know that they had near insatiable hungers for anything—and that meant anything—with blood. Suddenly, he was glad he'd sent Gingitsune away. He didn't want her exposed to anything a bloodthirsty Kagome might do.

"I want you to get me some food." She licked her lips, looking around thirstily.

"How about wait until your mom comes back or something? I ain't your babysitter."

"Fine, then I'll get some myself." Kagome bounded for the door, but Inuyasha grabbed her by the back of her shirt and pulled her back, glaring at her.

"I don't think so. I'll be damned if you go on a killing rampage under my supervision. Hell no." She hissed at him at first, then her acrid expression morphed into a seductive one. Kagome moved closer to him, moving her finger sensually along the curve of his set jaw.

"Okay...so let me feed from you." She grinned.

"I really don't think so." Inuyasha pushed her away from him, but Kagome would not be deterred. Her stomach growled even louder now and she whimpered, staring up at him with cutesy eyes.

"Oh, come on! It won't hurt, and I'm asking you nicely. I have to eat, don't I?"

"Yeah, but must it be now?" Inuyasha was beginning to get nervous from the increasingly predatory gleam in her eye. Even a full-breed, when he got hungry enough, would kill his own kind for sustenance, and not even they could last too long without it. "I mean...when's the last time you ate, anyway?"

"Last month." Inuyasha winced.

God, I couldn't survive.

"Well...uh...I'm sure Nanako has some raw meat in here or something..." Inuyasha gulped, backing into the kitchen. Kagome followed him, licking her lips hungrily.

"I don't want that."

"I—listen, trust me, I don't have enough blood in me to satiate you!" Inuyasha insisted, and it was true; that didn't mean Kagome wouldn't still get her fill of him, even if it resulted in his death. In a leap reminiscent of the fluid movement of a jaguar, Kagome tackled him to the ground, trying to get at his neck with her razor-sharp fangs.

Shit! I'm going to have to fight her now!

Inuyasha grabbed her by the hair and slung her across the kitchen, evoking an animalistic snarl from her. He clambered to his feet, panting and sweating, forced to ignore his unsought erection brought upon by the overpowering scent of Kagome's pheromones. Unfortunately for him, the raging kyuuketsuki caught sight of his unmistakable arousal and smirked deviously.

...Fuck.

Inuyasha grunted as he was abruptly backed into the wall, Kagome's chilling yet soft hands stroking his body.

"Then I'll just settle for your body." She breathed, running her fingers down his chest and shuddering emphatically when she touched his throbbing manhood. "No, you're definitely not a virgin." She licked her lips, slower this time than the last, and Inuyasha was powerless to stop his infinite attraction now.

It's nothing. She's just another female body I can take my satisfaction of, that's all. Personal emotions are not, have never been, and will never be part of this equation. It's just fucking. It's never been more than that.

Spurred by this "impeccable" logic, Inuyasha decided to strive to give this sexy nymph exactly what she wanted: a good-sized chunk of him. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close to his body, breathing in her heady scent of horniness and vanilla, a very strange yet somehow arousing combination. Inuyasha slipped his nimble fingers down Kagome's shorts, sucking in a frail breath upon discovering that she was without panties.

No wonder I'm so horny—she's not wearing any fucking panties!

His dick protested against its cloth constraints as he lightly massaged her sensitive button, hidden beneath her small foreskin. She moaned, parting her legs wider to allow him better access, and Inuyasha felt her warm juices spilling onto his digits. Kagome pulled off her shorts, impatient, and removed Inuyasha's pants as well, reaching into his Jersey shorts to wrap her hand around his tumescent member. He gave a tight gasp, staring at her with wide, incredulous eyes. In all his years of being a man, absolutely none of the women he had previously fucked had ever touched his bare cock, having need for only their pleasure, paying no heed to his except for the act in itself.

Shaking his head of his disbelief and forcing himself to get back to the task at hand, Inuyasha moved his soaking fingers from her folds, audaciously plucking his fingers into her mouth, daring her to lick her own honey. He was extremely turned on when she unhesitatingly began sucking his fingers, staring dead into his eyes as she did so, and he thought the veins in his cock would actually burst, leaving it immobile forevermore. Inuyasha couldn't take it any longer; he had to have her. In a feat of vigour, he lifted her against his hips, supporting her by her posterior, and, by means of gravity and pure lust, his dick slipped into her. Kagome cried out, burying her face into Inuyasha's shoulder as she slammed her palms against the wall lateral to him. Invigorated, he effortlessly bounced her supple body up and down, reveling in her unique tightness. It had been so long since he last had a virgin, he'd actually forgotten there was a barrier to break, and he smashed right through it as if it were nothing more than plastic. Kagome winced, her sense of pain diminished by her intense lust, but palpable nonetheless.

Only few moments after Kagome had been deflowered, Inuyasha bore down as his climax washed over him as though he was stepping off of the surface of the sun and onto the freezing moon. He fought to steady his breath, and looked down from the ceiling at Kagome, feeling sheepish, but relieved to see that she still lusted for him, despite his earliness.

"Sorry..." He grunted, looking away to hide his faint flush. Even still, it was an embarrassing thing for a man like him. "I'm...usually not that fast."

"It's fine. I still liked it. Maybe next time we can finish together, hmm?" She murmured, lightly kissing his pointed ear. Before Inuyasha could dissent that there would be no next time now that he had finally gotten over his lust, a familiar scent hit his nose and filled him with alarm. He quickly pushed Kagome off of him, dragging on his boxers and pants. "What's wrong, Inuyasha?" Kagome blinked.

"I'm leaving." He said curtly, refastening his pants. "Your blood may be staining the floor..." Inuyasha gestured to the blood on the floor from her shattered maidenhead. "But I'll be damned if mine does."

"Hmm. Okay, then. See you later." Kagome waved, not bothering to put her own clothes back on, but instead only gathering them in her arms before leaving the kitchen. Inuyasha gazed lewdly at her rotating backside, then shook his head, angry at himself for some reason. He marched out of the kitchen himself, and soon as he reached the door, it swung open, revealing Nanako and Shippou, bright smiles on their faces.

"We brought sustenance!" Shippou chirped.

"Great. See you later." Inuyasha mumbled, moving past the two and dashing down the hall into the elevator. Shippou stared after him quizzically, then shrugged, closing the door behind him and Nanako. They went into the kitchen to refrigerate the jugs of red liquid, and Shippou sniffed around, scratching his head.

"Smells like...sex and blood." Nanako looked around innocently.

"Really? Hadn't noticed." She smiled lazily.

Black Ice: Hmm...what's up with that?

Blood Rain: And why's Inuyasha pissed at himself?

Black Ice: And why, if he'd "satisfied his lust for Kagome", did he ogle her butt when she left?

Blood Rain: And for that matter, why the hell is he being such an asshole?!

Black Ice: These questions and several more shall be answered in the next...several chapters!

Blood Rain: Whoo! Yay for misleadingness!
