6 The Dress
The twinkling light on her cell phone kept calling to her, much to her discomfort. Kagome had been trying to ignore it since the first message arrived:
"Hey, how are you? I haven´t heard from you, I´m worried. Call me."
She had read it an hour ago, followed by a couple more similar ones, but still, she didn´t know how to answer, "Hi Hojo-kun, I´m fine, I´ve been busy making out with a sexy half-demon who is also my new boss" seemed too harsh. Kagome loathed lying, especially to people that she cared about. That was the main reason she had been avoiding answering the text or talking to Sango, or to her mother, more than it was strictly necessary, that is.
"Here you are, miss." The shop attendant brought another pile of dresses, blouses, handbags, and shoes for her to try on, hanging them from the peg on the right wall, the one on the left was still half full of her own outfit and several she still had to try. "These are the ones your boyfriend selected for you."
Kagome cringed when she was left alone. "My boyfriend? Why does everybody think he´s my boyfriend?" She let out the breath she had been holding in a whoosh. "Meanwhile my real boyfriend is waiting for my call."
They had left the office hours ago arriving at the mall to get a new pair of glasses, that was what she had thought. Then Inuyasha noticed the stain on her blouse and that was the beginning of her ordeal. Kagome had never been an avid shopper, she just grabbed whatever was for sale on her size, provided it wasn´t too flashy. And here she was, inside an ample, luxurious changing room which had probably been reserved for VIP customers only. It consisted of two adjoining rooms, the smaller room, where she had been trying on outfit after outfit, had a big, comfortable white chair, a large mirror and several pegs on both walls. The other room was a little bigger, it had a small sofa, a coffee table and two doors, one connecting it with the changing room and the other with the grandiose department store Inuyasha had selected for this purpose. The adjacent room was precisely where Inuyasha was sitting while sipping a coffee and browsing through his phone. He had taken off his jacket which was now hanging carelessly from the back of the couch, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and the collar of his shirt was unbuttoned.
Heaving a sigh and trying to clear her mind from anything but the task immediately in front of her, Kagome gave a step closer to the mirror, the white carpet absorbing the sound of the high heels she was donning, her gaze fixed on the stranger looking back from her reflection. She was wearing a red dress with an off shoulders neckline and a lace bodice, which was too tight for her, she thought. It clung to her body like a second skin and the skirt above her knees showed too much of her legs. Her body wasn´t the type to wear this kind of clothing, she decided. Her figure wasn´t as voluptuous as Yura´s, for example. Miss Sakasagama would definitely look gorgeous in this. Or Sango, her best friend would totally rock this dress. Sango´s athletic yet curvy body was much better suited to wear such a revealing garment.
Had this happened a few years earlier, the pre-Kouga era, as Sango liked to put it, she wouldn´t have hesitated to try on the more provocative selections. She had been so bold, willing to go to any lengths trying to seduce her man. She had learned her lesson though, nowadays she knew better.
Another sigh escaped her lips before Kagome could prevent it. She was too thin, she reminded herself, she didn´t have the curves to fill the dress, her hair was too wild. Summing it up, she was too plain to get away with this attire. She was terrified to go out and parade it for Inuyasha. Was he trying to make fun of her? Had he chosen this outfit for that reason? What was he thinking?
She took a big breath and squared her shoulders before stepping out of the changing room to face him.
He was looking at his phone´s screen and kept his gaze down for a few seconds. When he finally looked up he had to suck in some air, the girl looked stunning.
"Well, are you happy now? I feel ridiculous in these clothes!"
She was sporting a big frown on her face, hands on her hips to emphasize her discomfort.
It didn´t work.
All it did was highlight her slender waist, rounded hips, shapely legs and her breast, he couldn´t think of a word to describe the perfect plump orbs, his hands were itching to touch them. Her petite figure, which she kept always under layers of oversized clothing, was showcased by the designer dress for his eyes only. Inuyasha had to clear his throat before speaking.
"You look…" beautiful, gorgeous, breathtaking, he couldn´t utter any of the words that came to his mind. "…good." He finally said nodding his head.
"No, I don´t!" She almost shouted. "I can´t wear any of these clothes, they made me look so different."
"What? Are you afraid to show off your good looks?"
The girl just blinked, petrified in her place. Did he mean that?
"Then think of your clothes as a suit of armor. Use them to protect yourself." Inuyasha went on.
"What do you mean?" Kagome looked down trying to figure out what protection could this dress possibly offer, if any.
"Well, most humans, and some demons too tend to judge you by what you look like. If you look like you belong with them it will be much easier for you to blend in, or be accepted as one of the group."
"I don´t think that´s true. I don´t judge people by their looks." The girl was almost offended by his words.
"Maybe you are different but that´s how the world is. Take me for example, I´d love nothing more than to go around barefoot and wearing my old hakama and suikan. But then I would be avoided by humans, and demons alike. This- he took the lapels of his jacket with his fingers and gave a tug- is camouflage."
The girl smiled. She hadn´t thought about his heritage since she met him the day before, for her all creatures were equals. But what Inuyasha was hinting seemed to be too close to home.
"Anyway. I can´t buy these, it´s way too expensive." The girl´s cheeks flushed a light tinge of pink at that.
"The company is paying for it wench." He was getting exasperated with her, what other women would be so upset when she gets a new wardrobe on somebody else´s account? He didn´t get it.
"Don´t call me that!" She pouted and stepped forward. "Ok, I´ll accept some stuff if you let me pay for them monthly."
The hanyo huffed and scratched his head. Buying some new garments did nothing to his wallet, but to Kagome´s economy, it would mean a huge hit. Maybe her pride was more important to her than a few dollars' worth of clothes.
"Fine, if it´s so important to you." He finally conceded and saw her relax her posture, the shadow of a smile playing on her lips.
"Thank you!" Kagome gave a little jump forward, so happy to get her way she forgot for a moment she wasn´t wearing her flats, the sharp pain in her ankle reminding her presently.
"Ouch!" She stumbled forward almost landing on Inuyasha´s arms who was already standing in front of her.
"What are you doing wench?"
"Sorry, I forgot I had these on." She reached down to rub at her ankle while he helped her sit down. "I´m not used to wearing heels."
"Did you hurt your ankle?" Inuyasha kneeled in front of her taking the shoes off and gently massaging her right feet.
The second his skin came in contact with her skin Inuyasha remembered why he had decided to keep enough distance between them. The same electric current that had hit them before ran wild from the tip of his fingers into his bloodstream, turning the vital fluid into blazing lava and inflaming his senses. Their eyes met, their gazes locked, both acknowledging what was going on without speaking. The girl´s heart started to race, he could almost see it hammering through her ribcage as her breathing become more erratic every second that passed. Inuyasha´s fingers hadn´t stop the gentle massaging of her ankle and calf, the thumb drawing circles over the soft skin while he kept running the pads of his fingers up and down the tender area.
Licking her lips and trying to control her breathing, Kagome closed her eyes for a second. She could feel the heat spreading from her legs upwards, she was almost certain the hanyo´s hand would brand her with his touch. She was paralyzed, unable to do anything but feel. And the feeling was so intense she thought she would melt into the couch.
Noticing that the human girl was as eager as him, Inuyasha´s soft caress became bolder, first reaching up to her knee, then spreading Kagome´s legs to make room for himself. Kneeling down between her welcoming legs, the half-demon started raking the claws of both his hands up and down the creamy skin. His sensitive nose was twitching as the scent of their arousal intensified. In the position he was his head was almost leveled with her breast, his eyes fixed on the soft mounds rising and falling with every ragged breath Kagome took. She wasn´t wearing a bra, he was certain now that the hardened peaks poked from under the lace of the dress.
"Oh, dear kami!"
Inuyasha almost growled. He had always been proud of his self-control but when he felt Kagome´s hesitant hands reaching out to touch his ears, it was nearly shattered. He couldn´t get a hold of himself, his body hardening under her ministrations, he just let out a low rumble and reached one hand to the back of her neck, bringing her head closer and finding her mouth already waiting for his.
The kiss had a devastating effect on Kagome´s already overheated senses, her core weeping, drenching her underwear as the hanyo´s tongue mercilessly attacked hers, his fangs nibbling on her bottom lip. She responded to the kiss with a hunger she had never known, her own tongue meeting his thrust after thrust. Suddenly she felt she was falling, she opened her eyes and saw he had dragged her down to the floor. Kagome was now lying on top of his hardened body, legs on either side of his hips while he pressed her down with a hand on her waist and another on the nape of her neck. Whimpering softly in his mouth, she let the hanyo guide her to the position he wanted. She felt his hands started sliding down to cup the round softness of her rump, her pelvic region meeting his hot, hardened masculinity sending bolts of heated lightning up and down her spine.
They both started moving at once as if this was the most natural thing in the world for them. Kagome rocked her hips seeking to scrape the aching need between her legs against his swollen member. Unable to remain still, she moved her hands from his hair to unbutton his shirt, running her blunt nails up and down the hard planes of his chest before pressing hot kisses up and down his face, following the strong line of his jaw until finally returning to his mouth. She heard Inuyasha hissing and almost growling against her lips and smiled
"He enjoys being touched like this!" she congratulated herself.
And she was right, Inuyasha indeed enjoyed her touch, he was nearly panting, and she had barely touched him. Releasing her lips Inuyasha trailed the pulse at her neck with wet hot kisses, sucking her delicate flesh with his lips and then licking it. He kept going down her collarbone until he found the lace covered mounds. Using his jaw, he rolled the fabric down, nibbling and teasing the plump flesh until he finally uncovered the pink hardened nipples he had been so wanting to touch. Letting go of her ass, he devoted both his hands and mouth to worship them while his ears were rewarded by the sound of soft moans and shallow breaths.
Biting her lower lip and trying desperately to get some air into her lungs, Kagome arched her back and presented her naked breasts to the half demon. His thumb repeated the circular motions he had used on her calves over her sensitive nipples before he sucked one into his mouth, his tongue lapping on it while his eyes locked with hers, the heat spreading from his golden irises through her body like wildfire. When he finally seemed to be satisfied, Kagome felt him divert his attention to the other nipple, the onslaught as relentless as the previous one.
Inuyasha let go with a loud pop and then looked down appreciating the beauty in his hands. The pale flesh had turned pink and the swollen mounds were now crowned by hardened red peaks, his big hands kept squeezing gently as his thumbs circled the darker area pinching the tops softly.
Kagome moaned in response, her mouth descending on his and kissing him fiercely, her tongue founding his and stroking it fervently. The rumble on his chest reverberated through her body when they broke the kiss in favor of breathing, yet Kagome needed more. Her hips were still grinding lazily, fueling their hunger. The girl´s heated core was sliding up and down his length, her mouth now focused on tasting his skin, licking him and giving soft bites to his chest in a downward route to his abdominal area.
"Fuck!" Inuyasha cussed internally. He was so hard he might explode if she so much as touched him. The hanyo dragged her up against his body and kissed her again, nibbling on her lips first, then moving up her cheekbone to the fleshy part of her earlobe.
Again, Kagome had to bite her lips to prevent a primal scream from leaving her mouth as the need in her lower regions reached levels she had never experienced in her life. Reclaiming her mouth with his, Inuyasha swallowed her screams as he rolled her over. Her nipples still wet from his saliva pressing hard against his chest and his rock-hard erection flush against her core while her legs circled his waist and locked behind his back
"Sir, can I get your girlfriend anything else?"
The sound of the shop attendant´s voice brought Kagome spiraling down from her cloud and she was suddenly very aware of their state and their surroundings. A furious blush exploded on her cheeks and rapidly spread down her neck. She tried to cover her naked torso as Inuyasha disentangle himself from her and cleared his throat before trying to speak to the woman outside. He Turned around and sat on the floor making sure his breathing was under control.
"We´re fine, thank you."
He didn´t need to turn around again to confirm that Kagome was already gone. The sound of her bare feet scurrying on the carpet was proof that she was too shocked to face him right now.
Inuyasha looked up to the ceiling and run both hands through his hair while taking a deep steading lungful of air before getting up.
"That would be all for the moment." He told the woman he could still hear on the other side of the door.
He still got some emails to answer, he reminded himself. It would be better for both of them if he focused on work until Kagome was eventually able to come out and face him.

A/N: I´m basing Kagome´s experience on my own life, some of it at least. I had a really rough time when I became sexually active although my boyfriend didn´t cheat on my, that I know of, I was finally able to enjoy sex with him after some months. I don´t put all the blame on him now that I have more experience I know some of the blame was mine too, I was too young and inexperienced and was too afraid of speaking up for myself. All the other insecurities Kagome has concerning her body are also a reflection of myself. I could bet that most of us ladies are terrified to face a mirror on a changing room. I don´t mean we need a man in our life to validate us, we shouldn´t be so hard on ourselves, that´s all.
