Chapter 44: Sake
Tamako hadn't seen Kouga in weeks. The twins were nine months now, and so, so big. They were starting to get too big to carry. And she just loved being a mother. Her entire life revolved around her two pups now, everything she did was for them. She did let them see their father, though. Just...not with her there. She refused to see Kouga, and she refused to let him near the hut. So, either Ginta or Hakkaku would come by and pick the twins up to take them to Kouga once every seven days. Usually it was just for a day visit, but tonight would be the first night she'd agreed to let the twins spend the night with their father.
She was having anxiety any mother would have giving up their children for the first time for a whole night. She was paranoid that something would happen. But, tonight was the night of the full moon, and even she knew that her children would be safer in the wolf den than with her and her human father for the night.
Koichi was still trying to walk, and Sayuri still hadn't made any attempts. It made Tamako worried, but she could tell her daughter was very bright. She'd learn to walk and talk on her own terms. And that afternoon she was getting them ready for their night with Kouga.
She packed a bag, packing their overnight things as the twins played. Koichi slowly crawled up to his mother, looking up at her. "Mommy...where going?"
Looking to her son, she smiled to him. "Well, you're going to go stay the night with your father."
"Whole nighttt?" he asked in an amazed voice. Yeah he'd been to the den, but he hadn't stayed the whole night.
Tamako nodded slowly, moving to pick her son up to hold him against her side, leaning and kissing his cheek. "Yup, all night. You're gunna be a good boy for daddy, right?" she asked.
He nodded slowly, moving to hug her around her neck tightly. "But...miss mommyyy..." he whined, looking at her face.
She couldn't help but smile. "Ohh I'll miss you too baby boy. You and your sister." she said, hugging him a bit tighter. Pushing a few more things into their bag with one hand, she closed it and pulled the strap over her shoulder. Moving to scoop up her daughter and standing up, walking towards the door. She could tell Ginta and Hakkaku were getting close.
"Mommyyy.." Koichi whined, looking at her face and pouting cutely up at her.
Tamako chuckled, leaning and kissing his cheek again. "Oh stop it. You'll be fine. You gotta be a big boy ya know. Wanna know why?"
"Why!?" he asked excitedly.
"Cause, I'm gunna count on you to take care of your sister. Can you do that for me? Can you be a big big boy for mommy?"
Koichi nodded, grinning happily. "YEAH!" he said.
Tamako chuckled, glancing up at her father as they walked outside, seeing him chopping wood for the fire. "Hey dad, wanna come say goodbye to the twins?" she asked, walking up to him.
When they got close, Inuyasha put his axe down, looking and nodding. "Yeah. Let me see those kids!" he said. Moving to take Sayuri from her mother, raising her up in the air a little and looking up at her.
Curious Cerulean eyes looked down at Inuyasha, small noises coming from her lips, but not quite words. She giggled as he tossed her up in the air and caught her.
When he did it again, Tamako looked at him with a pout. "Dad, come on, don't toss her around."
"Whaaat? I won't drop her, seesh. Demon speed, remember?" he asked.
Tamako laughed and nodded. "Yeah I remember." she said. Looking at her son slowly, she hugged him tightly against her. "Kami I'll miss you two..." she said. She hadn't been separated from her kids for a whole night before, and she didn't want to be.
Since she'd sent Kouga away and they split up, the kids had been her entire life, all day every day. It drove her crazy just to have them away from her for a couple of hours a week when they went to see her father. Other than that, she usually was with them. Sometimes she would get a hot bath to herself, but most of the time the kids were at the spring with her, and she was bathing them with her.
Looking up, she saw Ginta first, and then Hakkaku. Smiling a bit to them and nodding. "Hey you two. They're all ready.." she said, looking at Koichi, leaning and kissing his cheek slowly, a bit longer than she had before.
"You be a good boy, you hear me? Don't get into any trouble. Have fun though." she said, rubbing his back slowly. Handing the bag to Ginta before she slowly handed Koichi to him, looking at her son, biting her bottom lip, trying not to get upset. Looking up at Ginta, she nodded.
"So...so um, I packed his favorite blanket, he won't sleep without it. Its the blue one in there. Sayuri's is in there too, hers is the yellow one. And...and make sure Kouga knows to get their teeth brushed before bed, they're packed in there too. And...and Sayuri, she has this stuffed bear my dad gave her that I packed, she needs that to sleep. But...but if they wake up in the middle of the night, a story usually gets them back to sleep. And watch for-" she started to say.
Ginta cut her off though with a smile. "Hey sis, calm down, we've got this, they'll be fine."
"Yeah, we got this." Hakkaku confirmed.
Tamako pouted, moving to take her daughter from her father and hugging her. "Ohhh I know. But they're my babies and I worry obsessively." she said.
Kissing Sayuri's cheek, hugging her slowly. "Mommy'll miss you too baby girl." she said, looking at her face.
Sayuri looked up at her mother, pouting a little bit. "I love you mommy." she said. Yeah, she hadn't spoken a word before just now, but that didn't mean she didn't know how. She was very intelligent, actually forming a full sentence instead of just chopped ones like her brother.
The words shocked her, hearing her daughters voice. Looking at Sayuri, her eyes wide. "Wh...what did you say?"
"I love you mommy." she repeated. Moving to hug her mother around her neck tightly and kissing her cheek.
Tamako smiled happily, hugging her back, rubbing her daughters back. "Oohhh mommy loves you so much! To the moon and back baby girl." she whispered to her daughter. That was something her father always told her, that he loved her to the moon and back. And she'd repeated it to her children.
Sayuri smiled to her mother. "To moon and back mommy." she repeated, leaning and kissing her on the cheek.
Hearing those words made her so happy, Sayuri finally said something to her. "Oh my big girl. Now I don't wanna let her go even more." she said, resting her cheek against Sayuri's forehead, sighing a little.
Slowly she stepped up to Hakkaku, slowly handing Sayuri to her, pouting a bit and moving to stand back, hugging herself. "You two be good! Mommy loves you." she told them.
"Love mommyyy!" Koichi said with a smile, looking up at his mothers face.
And then she watched Ginta and Hakkaku take her children, it took everything she had not to go after them, to get her kids back. Turning away, shaking her head a little.
Inuyasha looked at his daughter with a smile. "Hey, Sayuri said something to you. Thats awesome. They did so much better than you did the first time I left you. Kami that was a fight, let me tell you."
Tamako chuckled and nodded, glancing to her father. "Yeah. I made you promise to come back before the sun got to there." she said, pointing at an area in the sky, she even remembered which area. "But...but they're my kids. Kami knows I hate leaving them for anything..."
"I know, and you're an amazing mom. You're the best mom. They'll be fine. Kouga may be an idiot, but he's their father. And, there are women at the den with him just in case he needs help. They will be okay." he assured her.
Tamako nodded slowly. "I know, I know..." she said, pouting as she glanced towards where Ginta and Hakkaku walked off to. "I just feel so...empty now. Like...like I've got nothing to do...no one to take care of..."
"Take care of yourself, Tamako." Inuyasha said, resting one hand on her shoulder and rubbing it a little. "Why don't you go into town and see what your friends are doing tonight? You're nineteen years old. And, from what I remember of Tokyo...nineteen year olds have something Kagome used to call a social life. So, go be social. Be yourself. You get to be human tonight...go, have fun with the humans. Don't spend your night off sulking."
She nodded a bit. "Maybe you're right. Maybe I need to relax. I don't know. Its just...weird."
"Well, do me this favor. Go into town. See what Sara and Chiyo are doing. They're not married yet, right? Well, go into town, have a girls night or whatever. Have fun. Do the things that girls do, whatever it is." he said. Leaning and kissing the top of her head, smiling to her. "I love you, princess. Take care of yourself. Please." he asked.
Tamako nodded, smiling a little. "I love you too daddy. To the moon and back." she said, looking up at him.
"Mmhm, to the moon and back." he said, returning her smile.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
And, go see Sara and Chiyo she did. About an hour before the sun would set, she went to walk towards their house. Both girls were still not married, and still lived with her parents and siblings. They'd all been friends growing up, including Rin. It just felt weird to not have Rin there with them.
Walking up to the hut door, she knocked on it slowly. When the door slid open and Chiyo stood there, she smiled. "Hey Chiyo. So...I'm baby free tonight...and I was wondering what you guys were doing?" she asked.
Chiyo looked up at her slowly. She'd grown up to look a lot like her mother with her fathers eyes. And her twin sister Sara looked exactly the same. A grin came over her face as she stepped out, leaning close to Tamako. "Shhh, don't tell my dad. But...me, Sara, Keiko, Aiko and Kohaku are all going out tonight, to a party." she whispered. Keiko and Aiko were her two younger sisters. In total, Miroku and Sango had six children, four girls and two boys. Both boys didn't live with them anymore, but all the girls did. And, Kohaku came to visit from time to time.
Hearing Kohaku's name, Tamako blushed. "Kohaku?" she asked.
Chiyo nodded. "Yeah. He's visiting for a few days. Ohhh! You liked Kohaku, didn't you!?" she almost squealed.
Tamako blushed, shaking her head. "N-no!" she said, looking down.
"Don't liiiie. Hm...well, you're single, he's single...we should hook you two up. Operation hookup is due! Kohaku needs a good woman anyhow."
Tamako shook her head quickly. "Nononononono. I still have a mate and husband Chiyo. Don't forget that."
Chiyo pouted at the realization, looking at her and shrugging. "Oh well, it was worth a shot. You're fine with coming and him being there, right?"
Quickly Tamako nodded, trying not to look as worried as she felt. "Y-Yeah sure I suppose. Tonight...tonights my human night too, so...I'll be changing in about an hour."
At this Chiyo grinned. "Oh goodie! It'll be so much easier than explaining our half demon friend. This will be fun. Now, shh, remember, don't tell my dad. Or mom. They'll flip if they know, especially since Sara's supposed to get married in a few weeks."
"If she's getting married, why is she going?"
"Well...sort of call this her...last hurrah party. The men all have one. So why shouldn't the women? I want my twin to go out with a bang!" she said happily.
Tamako looked at her, laughing a bit. "I didn't know women had those. I never did. Kouga didn't either for that matter. I think demons are just very different than humans." she said, shrugging. Though, thinking about Kouga made her sigh a little, looking down. She tried not to think about her mate as much as possible, it still hurt. But she wondered what he was doing, if he was raising Isao, how he was doing at the den.
She still stuck by her decision, though. They were taking a break, a break that she felt she needed in order to recollect, figure things out, concentrate on being a mother.
Overall, it would be good for them to take this time off. They'd gotten together so quickly while she was so young, when she was just fifteen they got together. And, before that she'd been such a lovesick teenager. Sometimes she did wish she'd listened to her father when he tried to talk her into taking things slow, not rushing into it.
Granted, she didn't regret her life at all. It brought her two beautiful pups, and she loved them with all her heart. She loved Kouga, too, she was just angry with him and needed time away.
Chiyo took Tamako's hand and smiled. "Come on, lets go inside. We've gotta get ready." she said, pulling the half demon along with her into the hut.
Tamako went along with her, laughing and nodding. "I'm cominggg." she said. Chiyo pulled her inside and she glanced over, waving to Miroku and Sango as she was pulled into the girls bedroom.
"Chiyo what are we doing?" she asked.
Chiyo smiled, pulling Tamako to sit down at the small vanity she had. "We're making you look like...look like not a mom." she said.
At that, Tamako pouted. "I don't look like a mom! Thats mean. Do I really?" she asked, looking at herself in the mirror. Brushing her hair back a little and looking at her face.
She looked tired. At least, thats what she thought. Sighing a little in defeat. "Maybe I do..." she said with a pout.
Chiyo chuckled slowly. "Oh we'll fix that." she said. Going towards the door and looking out. "Hey Keiko, come here. You too Aiko." she said.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
After the sun had set and her human features took hold, the girls helped her get ready. She'd never gotten ready to go out before. She'd never even really had a date with Kouga. Not really, anyway. But she almost felt like the girls were trying to set her up on a date with Kohaku.
Chiyo kept saying how much he liked her and how cute he was and that he needed a husband.
While Aiko and Keiko joined in on her comments.
Overall Tamako didn't pay attention to her comments. Once her hair had changed and they started working on it, and it was done, she was amazed. Her long black hair was now in tight neat curls falling down over her shoulders. She did have long hair, but she didn't keep it nearly as long as her father did. Her hair went a few inches longer than her shoulders, not quite touching the middle of her back. And she'd never really done it up, but now she actually liked how it looked, how the curls went down.
"Man...makes me wish I had curly hair." she said, chuckling a bit and glancing up to the other girls.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she looked like any other human girl that night of her human night. She wore soft bits of makeup, a bit of red color for her lips and light eyeshadow with dark black eyeliner along her eyes. The eyeliner bit had hurt. It was the feudal era after all, and makeup techniques weren't perfected yet. Eyeliner was basically hot coal that was drawn across the skin.
"Add some white powder and pull your hair up right, and you could pass for a Geisha." Keiko said with a smile, looking at Tamako and resting her hands on her shoulders.
Glancing at Keiko, Tamako shook her head. "No way. Geisha are way too pretty for me to pass as one." she said with a pout. Women knew about Geisha, the women who entertained men in teahouses in the bigger villages. Their village had a few, but nothing like the bigger ones with nicer teahouses.
"You are pretty, Tamakochan..." Aiko said as she moved to sit next to her, looking at her face. "If Kouga could see you now. Gosh he would melt." she said with a smile.
At the mention of Kouga's name, Tamako's smile faded a little, looking down.
Keiko hit Aiko's shoulder, glaring at her a little.
"Ohhh I'm sorry Tamakochan!" Aiko said, rubbing her arm and looking at Tamako's face. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said nothin'."
"No...no its fine." Tamako told her, looking at her with a small smile. "Its alright. He is my husband, so why not speak of him? We're just taking a break sort of, we're not broken up completely. Not like that..."
"Well! We'll not think about THAT tonight." Chiyo inserted, moving to take Tamakos hand and pulling her to stand up. "Come on lets go."
Nodding to her friend, Tamako stood up and walked with them outside the room, glancing around. It was then she saw Kohaku. She'd heard him come in several minutes ago, but only just now saw him.
And when Kohaku saw her, his mouth dropped open a little. Closing it quickly and gulping. It was no real secret that he'd always had a crush on Tamako. Well, he thought it was. He'd never gotten married, not yet, even though he was getting older. Mainly because no woman could compare to Tamako to him. She was so strong and independent, she had all the qualities he wanted in a wife. All the things a slayer would want for his wife. But, she was taken, he knew that.
Slowly he nodded to her. "Evening, Tamakochan. You look amazing, by the way." he said with a soft smile.
Tamako nodded a little, looking down. "Thanks.." she said slowly.
Chiyo shook her head. "Come onnn, lets go." she said, moving to the door and starting to walk outside. Her parents were already in getting ready for bed, and Kohaku had told them that he was going to take the girls out, but not exactly telling them where.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
And then they were off to the party. It was at the only teahouse in town, and a lot of the young villagers showed up, men and women. It wasn't everyone, but it was a lot of people. There was food, drinking and dancing. Overall it looked like a pretty good time.
Tamako was surprised at everything that she'd seen within the teahouse. She hadn't even been to the teahouse before, having always been too young. And as soon as she became of-age she'd gotten mated to Kouga and moved into the den. She hadn't been part of human culture and life for years now.
But when they walked into the teahouse and saw everyone having fun, it looked like fun, like a good idea. Tamako instantly brightened up as she walked in with her friends.
Chiyo left the group and went to gather some drinks. Coming back with a small tray that held a cup for each of them filled with sake. Offering the drinks to everyone, Tamako took the small cup and looked at it. It looked strange, like something she hadn't tried before.
"What is this stuff?" she asked, glancing at Chiyo.
"Its sakeee!" Aiko chimed in, taking her own glass and downing it in one shot before she went off to find more.
"Sake? I've never had sake before..." Tamako said, unsure as she looked down at the foreign drink. It was more of a human thing than demon thing to drink sake. And the wolf den never had any sort of sake.
"Just drink it, seesh." Chiyo said with a smile, looking at her. "I'm going to go find some company. Have fun Tamakochan!" she said.
Tamako looked up as her friends one by one started to break off to go talk to other friends. And she instantly felt alone. Well, except for the presence of Kohaku standing just by her. Looking up at Kohaku, chuckling a bit. "Looks like its just us."
"Yeahh, I don't have a lot of fun at these things. But, I'm not letting my nieces come here alone." he said. Taking his own drink of sake and downing it, too before looking at her. "You should try it, ya know. It tastes good..."
Looking down at the cup in her hands, slowly she leaned to take a small sip of it, wincing and shaking her head, coughing slowly.
The reaction made Kohaku chuckle, patting her back. "Never had sake before?" he asked.
She coughed a bit more, shaking her head. "N-No. Ew. This is nasty.."
"Eh, not really once you get used to it. Drink up. After a drink or two you won't notice the taste." he promised.
Taking in a deep breath, she looked at the drink. Following the example of her friends, she leaned to gulp the drink down quickly in one shot. The quickness made her cough, resting one hand on her chest as she coughed. The cough slowly turned to a laugh as she glanced up at Kohaku. "Packs...packs a punch."
Kohaku only laughed, nodding. "Yeah, sure does. Come on, lets get some more. I won't abandon you in the crowd of humans." he teased, nudging her a little as they moved towards one of the tables.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
A few drinks later, and Tamako loosened up quite a bit. Since she'd never had a drink, on her third one she was already pretty far gone. They sat back in a corner of the place, almost in another room, and they were pretty alone.
Tamako sat up a little, leaning against the table and looking at Kohaku. "I have an idea." she said.
"Oh really, whats that?"
"Lets play a game!" She declared with a small grin.
He looked at her and nodded. "Alright...a game. What kind of game? Aren't we a little old for games though?"
"Mmm not this game. This game is something I learned in Tokyo. Okay...so, what it is, is one of us says something we've never done...and the other one takes a drink if they did do it. Liiike...hmm...I'll go first to show you how..." she said, thinking a minute. "Okay! I've neverrr...danced. Like, with someone else." she said, looking at him. "Now, if you have, you take a drink. If you haven't, you don't. See? Easy!" she said.
Kohaku laughed and nodded. "Alright, I can do this." he said, taking a drink slowly to show he had. Resting his cup down on the table, looking up at her. "Wow, you've never like...danced? Not even with Kouga?" he asked.
Tamako shook her head, leaning against the table. "Nope. Demons don't do things like humans do all the time. And...Kouga's not really a dancing type." she said with a small pout. "Mm, your turn!"
He thought for a minute, looking at her face. "I've neverrr...had kids." he said after a long pause.
Tamako laughed, taking a drink of her sake before putting it down. "That one was easyy! Gosh." she said, looking at him. "Hmm, my turn. I've never...drank before." she said.
Kohaku shook his head a little with a chuckle. "Now who is being easy?" he asked, bringing his cup up to take another slow drink.
She shrugged and giggled. "Well, I couldn't think of anything!" she said. Leaning against the table, looking up at him. "Your turn. Be creative!"
Looking up at her, resting his cup down on the table and thinking. "Hmm...I've...neverrr..." he said slowly, thinking. Blushing a little as he looked down at his drink. "I've never...been with someone. Like...sex." he said, his blush deepening. He wasn't sure he'd ever admitted that to anyone before. Sure, he was single, but most people assumed that he did at least sleep with someone, he was a man after all.
His confession surprised her and she blinked. "Seriously? Never ever?" she asked. Picking up her cup and taking a drink, downing the rest of the sake in her cup. She was pretty far gone, as she was drinking she leaned back, almost falling back onto the floor.
Hearing her made him laugh, looking at her. "Woah woah, don't fall over!" he said, quickly moving to catch her before she fell onto the ground.
Falling back against his arm, she looked up at him, laughing and putting her cup down, moving to sit up, looking over at him. "But...seriously...you've never...?" she asked.
Kohaku blushed, his arm around her back to keep her from falling over. He was tipsy, but not quite as drunk as Tamako seemed to be. Shaking his head. "Nope. Never." he told her.
Watching his face, tilting her head to one side. "Why not? Don't you want a family?"
"Oh I do...just...I guess haven't found the right girl. Well, I did, but she's taken."
"Who is it?" she asked, totally oblivious to what he could have meant. The sake had gone to her head, and she was even human, so it had more of an effect on her than it would have if she still had her demon blood flowing through her veins.
He blushed deeper at her question. "Y-Y-You..." he said, looking down slowly. He'd had a crush on her since he first met her, almost anyone could tell. But the time in Tokyo had been the one time he'd taken a chance with her.
When he said that, she blinked, and it was almost like a light bulb turned on in her head as her eyes widened. "O-Oh..." she said. Shaking her head a little, moving to sit up a bit more. "Well...ya know...if its any consolation, if I were single when I met you...I'da totally been all over you."
A chuckle came from his throat, shaking his head. "You're just saying that."
"Mmm, nope. Nope I'm not." she said, turning to look at him. Biting her bottom lip a little. Leaning up to him quickly, she kissed him, letting her eyes close and leaning up close to him.
The kiss surprised him and his eyes widened. Resting one hand on her shoulders, shocked. He didn't see that coming at all. But..he liked it. Closing his eyes, he leaned close to her, kissing her back as he tilted his head to one side.
When he kissed her back, she tilted her head to the opposite side to kiss him deeper. She was pretty drunk, the sake urging her moves, removing her inhibitions.
And he didn't quite stop her, either. He kept his lips against hers, kissing her deeper, as deep as she'd allow him.
Slowly she leaned back from the kiss, taking in a few deep breaths, opening her eyes halfway and looking at him. Moving to grab his hand, she shifted up to stand up, stumbling a little as she stood. Gently pulling on his hand. "Come onnn." she said.
A whine came from him when she leaned back from the kiss, opening his eyes to look up at her, watching her stand up. "Where are we going? Woahh woah don't fall." he said. Standing up quickly, he moved to catch her a little when she stumbled.
Tamako smiled, looking up at him. "You'll see. Come on Kohaku." she said. Standing up and starting to walk towards the door, gently pulling him with her as she walked.
He was confused, but he walked with her, making sure she didn't fall as she stumbled. He had to make sure he didn't fall over, either. He was drunk, but not nearly as much as Tamako was.
She led him away from the teahouse and towards a path in the woods, the same path that led to the hut she shared with her father now. Smiling as she walked, she turned to look at him, leaning up and kissing him, walking backwards carefully as she pressed her lips against his.
And he kissed her back each time, his arms moving around her waist, carefully walking with her, still not completely getting where they were going, just that they were going.
Eventually, the small hut she shared with her father came into view. And as they got closer, Kohaku gently pushed her up against the outside wall of the hut to kiss her. Closing his eyes, tilting his head to one side into the kiss as he leaned up close to her.
And, she kissed him back. Her arms snaking around his neck and leaning up close to him.
She didn't even know if her father was home or not. She was betting not, he usually went on patrols at night because he'd had a hard time sleeping through the night since her mother passed away. But, at that moment, she wasn't even thinking if he was there or not. She wasn't thinking at all.
It felt good, Kohaku felt good. She hadn't been with Kouga in a while, and it just felt like a lost cause at some points. But now, she was drunk, and Kohaku wanted her, she could feel it. Shifting a little, one of her legs moving in-between his, her thigh pressing up against his crotch, feeling him in his pants. She'd never actually been with another man before. Really, she'd never wanted to either.
He kept her against the wall, kissing her, his hands resting on either side of her at her waist, slowly moving them to move onto her hips, bringing her up closer to him, feeling her being pulled against his chest. He'd never been with a woman before, but he knew how, and having her against him did feel great.
Pulling her up against him, he leaned back to start moving into the hut, pushing the door aside, hearing as it fell back into place.
She almost stumbled onto the wood, giggling against Kohaku's lips, leaning back from his chest and taking his hand, pulling him into her bedroom. The hut was dark, so that meant her father was on his patrols, or in the Goshinboku. She really wasn't concerned at that moment.
Walking into her room, she turned around to kiss him again, pulling him up close to her. Since he was even taller than Kouga, she had to lean up on her toes to be able to kiss him, her arms around his neck, holding him close to her.
Walking backwards a little, she took in a breath as he slid his arms underneath her butt, pulling her to pick her up, her feet leaving the floor. Slowly she moved her fingers along his shoulders, squeezing them a little. His muscles felt so strong underneath his shirt as he held her.
Slowly he moved down to one knee, leaning to lay her back onto the futon that was spread out on the floor. She rarely ever put away the futon because she was always chasing after kids, and a bit of a messy room wasn't her concern. Besides, they had the separate room to sleep in and didn't use their living room like some people had to.
Leaning up, resting his hands on either side of her head as he broke the kiss, opening his eyes halfway to look down at her. He'd always imagined what it'd be like to have her like this, just never thought it'd actually happen.
A smile crossed his lips as he leaned down, starting to kiss along the side of her neck and up to her jaw, making her tilt her head back and let out a soft moan.
*Warning: Surprise Lemon* :-)
His hands moved down and around her, pulling open the ties of her obi, causing her kimono to fall loose as he pulled the fabric off that held it closed. Tossing the fabric to the side and pulling open the cloth. Moving his hands to run along her bare stomach and sides, letting out a content sigh as he felt her bare skin underneath his fingers.
Leaning back just a little, he looked down at her in the dark. It was dark in the room, he could barely see her, but he could still see her.
Feeling her hands, she moved to pull his shirt off, and he sat up to help her. Pulling his shirt off and throwing it off to one side. He was definitely not a kid anymore, his muscles were well defined from all of the slaying he did. That definitely kept him in shape.
Slowly she moved her fingers up along his stomach and abs, feeling his muscles underneath her fingers.
She didn't have long to touch him as he leaned back down to kiss her, pressing up against him, still wearing his pants and her still in her panties.
His hands moved down, pulling the garment down and off, throwing it to one side, but he didn't take his own pants off yet. Instead he leaned back to start kissing along her jawline and to her earlobe, nibbling on it as he pressed up close to her.
Those actions caused her to moan a little, shifting her legs and bringing them around his waist, a small whimper coming from her lips as she felt the cloth of his pants. She'd thought he took those off too.
Her arms moved around his neck, running along the back of his neck and down his back, tilting her head back against the futon underneath her.
"Mmm, don't tease..." she moaned out in a slur as she pressed against him, feeling the fabric of his pants against her inner thighs and core. She could feel how hard he was underneath his pants, she knew he wanted her, obviously.
And, she was still human. If she had her demon blood she probably would have rejected him by now. But, it was gone, locked safely away inside her. She'd had sex with Kouga on her human nights, only rarely though since Kouga was afraid he'd hurt her human body during those nights.
But...somehow, it felt so much better during those nights, too. She felt so aware of her body, of skin against skin contact, all the human emotions welling up inside her, assaulting her mind and body. And now, at the same time, her mind seemed to have shut off because of the sake. She wasn't thinking, at all.
At the sound of her words, he grinned and shifted back a little to pull his pants off, freeing himself from their confines. He was a guy, he'd had a hard-on before. But this was almost so hard it hurt. He needed to be inside her, and he knew it.
"Kami I want you..." he moaned as he leaned to press himself against her again.
"Then take me." she answered in a soft moan, arching her back a little to him to press against his chest.
He could feel her soft skin against his that almost felt like silk to him. His hands moved down along her sides, and he felt like his hands were entirely too rough for her skin.
Pressing against her, his hands moved down to her thighs, pulling her legs more up against him as one hand moved to guide his length into her. Feeling the tip sink into her wetness he took in a breath and let out a moan. Slowly he moved to rest his cheek on her shoulder, one hand moving to her side and the other hand moving to grip the bedding beneath them as he moved his hips forward to sink himself within her.
It felt so good, like nothing he'd ever felt before as he moaned against her shoulder, closing his eyes tighter as he sank himself deep within her.
And she was obviously no virgin, so there was no pain as she felt him push himself into her, and she just moaned out. He wasn't as big as Kouga, but it still felt good. Her fingers gripped the skin on his back, her nails slightly digging into his skin as she felt him sheath himself inside her.
Feeling her fingers in his back make him take in a breath. Moving his hands to rest on the bedding underneath them on either side of her, holding himself inside her for a minute. But he also felt her legs and hips shift, urging him to start moving, so he did.
If he thought just being inside her felt good, when he started moving his hips back and forth, moving in and out of her, it was just mind blowing. Moans escaped his lips as he moved, gripping the bedding underneath them as he thrust his hips.
What had begun as gentle thrusts picked up into faster, harder thrusts. Thrusting his hips, moving in and out of her as they both moaned out.
She gripped his back, leaving small marks from her nails in his skin. At least it were her human nails and not her claws, or his back would be in shreds by now. Even Kouga's demon skin tended to carry marks from her claws. Though, they rarely had sex like this. They did, but not all the time. They were demons, and she was a dog demon, so she often was on all fours underneath him with him kneeling behind her. But, sometimes they changed things up. Their sex life usually was anything but boring.
And to him, it felt so much better than taking care of a hard-on by himself. Nothing compared the feelings he felt as he pushed in and out of her, thrusting his hips fast and hard.
Though, to her, he couldn't move as fast as Kouga could, and she couldn't help but whine a little in-between moans. While it still felt fast enough for her human body, she was so used to Kouga's demonic speed. But really, her mind wasn't even thinking about the man on top of her, just the feelings against her own body.
A layer of sweat started to build up on both of their skins, Kohaku could feel sweat slipping down one side of his face as he thrust inside her as hard as he could. He was stronger than the average human man since he hunted demons for a living. But he wasn't as strong as a full demon like Kouga.
One of her hands moved up from his back and slid into his hair, gripping it a little, leaning up to kiss him, letting out moans into his mouth.
He did kiss her back, pressing up close to her, tilting his head to one side as he pushed into her, leaning his chest down more against hers.
But, he didn't last that much longer. He'd been a virgin himself after all, and he was also drunk. Leaning back from the kiss to let out a moan, hiding his face against the side of her neck as he thrust in hard, holding his hips still so he was joined fully with her, releasing himself inside her.
It felt so good, his hands slid down to move up and rest on the back of her shoulders, holding her against himself as it felt like she was sucking him dry. The whole feeling was overwhelming, especially in his drunken state.
As he finished, he slowly rolled over, pulling out of her and falling to lay on his back next to her, breathing hard, his eyes still closed. He had to catch his breath, too.
They both laid there, breathing hard. Slowly she started to shift, leaning up close to him and laying her head on his chest, one arm moving across his waist as she closed her eyes. She was so exhausted at this point too. On a normal night she usually didn't even get to sleep through the night, so she was already tired. But now, she was just exhausted.
Snuggling up to his side, she curled up, one leg moving over his. And he reached over to grab the sheets, pulling them over both of them before he closed his eyes again, one arm moving around her shoulders as he started to fall asleep against her.

A/N: I hope you all enjoyed it! I debated for a while if I wanted to put this lemon in it, or if I wanted to maybe do a cliffhanger and wait to see what happens in the next chapter, or if I wanted them to even do it. But, I decided to give you guys the full, un-edited story, every juicy detail. While I didn't edit it, I did make it pretty docile on the lemon :-). And, besides, once I started actually writing the chapter, I just couldn't stop.
And, I originally didn't plan on them sleeping together. It popped in my head though and had to write about it. :-p.
