Black Ice: Back on the horse! Nyee-haw!
Blood Rain: (rolls eyes) Note, gratuitous cussin'. And I mean, downright dirty language up in this one, folks.
Also, there's a lemon.
Quote of the Day!
"If at first you don't succeed, it probably wasn't meant to be."
--Anonymous (and if nobody else will claim it, I will!)
The shock on Nanako's face was almost comedic when she opened the door to her daughter's teisei...and an unknown pregnant woman.
"Uh..." She murmured. Sesshoumaru sat in the kitchen, ears and nose wide open. "Inuyasha? Who's, um...your friend?"
"Just that. A friend." Inuyasha explained, miraculously keeping his voice from wavering. "Her name's Gingitsune."
"Gin...I've heard of you. You're Shippo's cousin, aren't you?"
"Yes, ma'am. White fox and grade-A moron." Gingitsune beamed, holding out her hand for Nanako to shake. Bewildered, Nanako accepted it, scowling internally at Sesshoumaru's subtle snickering.
"Would you like to come in?"
"Sure." As Inuyasha walked her in, he asked, "Is Kagome still sleeping?"
"No, she's right here, awaiting some kind of explanation." You didn't have to be human to know that two pregnant women in the same room equaled trouble. Inuyasha cleared his throat, knowing he'd have to work his hardest not to stammer.
"Kagome...sweetheart..." He smiled, putting a hand on her shoulder. She glared coldly at it, and it shriveled away from her. "Uh, Gingitsune's dying."
"I'm well aware of this. Are you aware that there is very little standing between the present tense and future tense?" Even Nanako flinched.
"Obviously, my intentions are pure, or I wouldn't be bringing my friend into your mother's house."
"I don't know what your intentions are, but you need to get them straight."
"...Er...like I was saying...Gingitsune's dying. And she wants to make things right. With you. I've already made my peace with her and, well...what's going on. I think it would be easier for both of you to get through this if you were friends, don't you?"
"Hardly."
"..." Now Inuyasha was at a loss for words. Nanako stepped in, putting an arm around Kagome's shoulders.
"Come on, darling, just sleep on it."
"Have you been roped into this deception as well, Mama?!"
"No. I just think a certain someone's being influenced by that football playing fetus in her womb." Nanako admonished.
"Meaning...?"
"Your baby doesn't recognize Gingitsune from anything more than your memories. Your memories of her are clouded with malice. You might've been able to put them aside if it wasn't for Phaidron. You have to assure him that Gingitsune means no harm."
"But I can't do that, Ma."
"Why not?" This time, it was Inuyasha who spoke. Kagome turned her silvery gaze onto him.
"Because I don't know that myself." Before anyone could say anything more, she turned and retreated into her room, slamming the door behind her.
"Well! How's this for entertainment?" Gingitsune said brightly. "I should go in there and talk to her."
"Uh, I don't think that's very wise, dear." Nanako stopped her. "Kagome's not exactly...rational right now. And she just finished feeding not too long ago. With the haze she can go into, it wouldn't mean much for her to attack you."
"Oh. Well, something has to be done. I feel terribly uncomfortable, and I knew my presence would be unwanted, but this is kinda severe, isn't it?" Gingitsune looked at Inuyasha, who shrugged.
"I guess if anybody should take the brunt of her moodiness, it should be me. It is my fault, anyways." Squaring his shoulders as if he were about to march off to war—as opposed to going into a pregnant girl's room—Inuyasha went after Kagome.
"This might be problematic. Let's go into the kitchen and have tea, Gingitsune. If that door flies off the hinges, I don't want it inducing miscarriage." The fox vixen anime-sweatdropped, but followed Nanako anyway.
In Kagome's room, the girl was livid. Inuyasha had his arms crossed, meeting her level stare.
"How dare you," she hissed, slowly shaking her head. "You lied to me!"
"And how is that, Kagome?"
"You said you would get over her!"
"I am over her. This time for sure."
"You always fucking say that!" Kagome snarled, her fangs and claws looking particularly dangerous now. "You're always so sure of everything, and you don't even know what the fuck goes on!"
"Kagome, if I wasn't over her, I would've fucked her before I even came here. Hell, I might not have come back, if it wasn't for--"
"For what? For the fact that you're interminably bound to me? The fact that I'm pregnant with your child?"
"Yes, and--"
"Save it, Inuyasha! I already see what it is. I was nothing to you but a fuck."
"How could you even fucking say that?!" Inuyasha fumed, outraged. "Why in the hell does everybody hold the title of Lothario over my head?! If you had been "just a fuck", do you think I would've risked my life to save your stupid ass from Kanna and Houjou?! Do you think I would've kept you around if you were "just a fuck"?!"
"The machinations of your mind confound even me." She said simply, and Inuyasha grabbed her by the forearms, shoving his face in hers.
"You're so damn stupid sometimes, Kagome, it makes me wonder how you remember to breathe."
"Okay. I'm stupid? Fine. Riddle me this, smart-ass. Do you love Gingitsune?" Kagome demanded, and neither missed how his grip loosened slightly. He was two seconds from coming completely undone and just losing his mind, but he had to keep things together. Reading his own heart had never come naturally to Inuyasha, but he was going to have to kick his addiction to phonics and read by himself.
"Do you want the truth?" He murmured.
"I knew it! You fucking bastard, how could you?!" Kagome cried out, her cracking voice betraying those beautiful, still dry eyes.
"I asked you if you wanted the truth."
"No, I don't want the goddamn truth..." Her lips, full and raw from what seemed to be chewing, trembled and she dropped to her knees. She would have crumpled to the floor completely if Inuyasha hadn't caught her. "What woman does?" She said sullenly.
"Then you foolish wenches should stop asking. But if you were to ask the truth, I would tell you this: I lusted for Gingitsune. I was deeply infatuated with her. I thought I loved her. I was right. But I don't love her the way I thought I did." Confusion seeped into Kagome's moistening features; that wall guarding her emotions had sprung a leak, and she was crying, but she wasn't very aware of it.
"What the hell are you rambling on about now, Inuyasha?"
"I'm saying...I thought I wanted her to be with me. And I even told her as much, some time in the past. I won't deny that. But now...I feel as though my entire life has been thrown into perspective, you know? It's like...I keep seeing the world through two different lenses now. And it confuses me."
"So what you're saying is, you need your space." Kagome said coldly, her eyes bloodshot from her crying. It had all but stopped now, yet she still trembled. The truth was, she had grown far too attached to Inuyasha, a bond that resembled something she wasn't used to, and she feared to lose him to a woman more qualified to be with him than she. But she would never admit to that.
"That's not what I said. What I'm saying is...I need you to clear my mind. Gingitsune will only befuddle me even more, and I don't need that. I just need her to be my friend, and you to be my woman. Now, here's where the real question lays: can you?" They stared at each other rather intensely then, the former flame in Kagome's eyes slowly smouldering into nothing by the raw sincerity in Inuyasha's.
"No, the real question is, can you be my lover without flocking to Gingitsune whenever we have an argument?"
"Well, now, I'm not making any promises..." Inuyasha grinned widely, and Kagome punched him in the arm.
"Try it and I'll chop your dick right off." She muttered, her dark humor signaling the end of their argument, and Inuyasha kissed her on the lips, a light one that made Kagome stare at him in disbelief.
"What was that?!"
"It's your punishment." He waggled his index finger with an impish grin. "For being a bitch to me. Naughty, naughty."
"I'll show you naughty, you big tease." Kagome grabbed him by his shirt collar and kissed him fiercely, almost overwhelmed with her relief. Inuyasha didn't hesitate to wrap his strong arms around her waist and press their bodies tighter together, allowing her to feel the passion she was inciting in him.
"You know..." He whispered huskily, moving his clawed hands up her shirt and scissoring her shirt off of her. "We haven't been together in quite a while." Inuyasha fully enjoyed the sight of her breasts, enlarged and swollen by her pregnancy. Kagome gasped raggedly when he ran his tongue across her nipples, savoring the slight taste of lactation. "Aren't we about due for a good fuck?"
"Maybe..." Kagome mumbled, feeling dizzy as she watched Inuyasha remove his pants. His erection, the likes of which Kagome couldn't remember seeing before, sprung out and further aroused Kagome. He gently moved her to the floor, proceeding to lick and kiss her all over, being extra careful of her slightly protruding belly.
"Damn, I've missed you, Kagome..." He sighed, removing her pants and burying his face right in her nest. She cried out, opening her legs wide for him to get better access. Inuyasha lapped greedily at her pleasure center like a man deprived, while Kagome fisted her clawed hands within his long silver mane. It felt all too good, his cool tongue reaching depths within her that only his cock had explored.
She felt the coils inside her stomach go tighter and tighter with each lick Inuyasha delivered, and ached for them to loosen, her moans increasing in volume. She was about to come, she knew it...
And then he stopped.
Kagome cried.
Inuyasha chuckled up at her, his eyes glinting with mischief. "Don't worry, baby...you'll come, but you'll do it the right way." He positioned his body over hers, his dick teasing her opening, and the proud Kagome, after being denied even this simple pleasure, actually broke down and begged.
"Please, Inuyasha, I need you to fuck me!" She whispered hoarsely, the desperate want in her eyes and facial expression turning Inuyasha on immensely.
He denied her no longer.
His thick rod thrust into Kagome's heated core, possibly the hottest place on her entire body, and Inuyasha realized just how much he had missed this. The warm, tight feeling of being inside his nyoubou, being one with her...how could he ever have thought he would get that from Gingitsune?
Kagome panted breathily, her limbs thrashing so hard, Inuyasha had to pin them to the floor. Her back arched unnaturally, a position that Inuyasha absently noted had to be hard on Phaidron, and he sunk his fangs into her neck as he pumped her. He growled against her flesh, calming her just enough that she tried to keep her back steady. That didn't stop her blissful moans, which began to get louder and louder as she reclaimed that building feeling that signaled her orgasm.
Inuyasha's claws tightened on her arms and he almost tore a chunk of her flesh out of her neck when that powerful sensation rippled through his low-temperature body. The pain enthralled Kagome and before either of them knew what was happening, they were coming together.
Instead of falling on top of her and endangering their child, Inuyasha rolled off to the side, trying to recapture his breath. Sweat glistened upon his forehead and he wiped it away, closing his amber eyes for a few moments.
"Would you believe me if I told you I was in love with you, girl?" He murmured. He didn't get an answer. Finding this peculiar, Inuyasha reopened his eyes and looked over at her. He chuckled suddenly; the woman had fallen asleep. He got up and yanked on his clothes, then picked her up and gently laid her on her bed.
Inuyasha left the room, coming to a room full of knowing gazes. With a smirk, he leaned against the wall, closing Kagome's room door.
"We've made up."
Black Ice and Blood Rain: (laugh hysterically)
Black Ice: We...bet you're wondering why we're laughing, right?!
Blood Rain: (laughs) Okay, so we're watching Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? Right, and Meredith Vieira (who is, if you didn't know, the new female host who replaced Regis) is crazy in this episode. She's got this military dude on, and she's totally flirting with him! On live-ass tv! She even said, and I quote, "I'm a horny old woman!" THAT IS WHAT SHE SAID!
Black Ice: Nastily enough, the next question was "A wet willie is a children's prank in which someone puts their finger in someone's what?" She actually said to the military guy, "Max, you can put your finger anywhere you want to!" SHE ACTUALLY SAID THAT! I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FAMILY SHOW!
