Satoru groans. Why is his phone going off? He opens one eye and then his other, blinking at the sight of black hair. His arm is asleep, but his dick isn't.

Crap. Kagome is pressed against him and there's nothing separating them this time. Well... they still have clothes on. Barely. He isn't wearing a shirt, but he's got shorts and no boxers on.

He bites his bottom lip and exhales. Kagome isn't awake yet, so he can salvage this situation somehow. Slowly, he eases his arm from under her and scoots back. Kagome groans and turns on her side. Her hands reach out for him.

"It's too early for a mission, Toru," she says, eyes still closed. Her leg brushes against him.

Oh Kami, help him, she must be wearing shorts.

"M'orning," he says, softly. Maybe if he continues to scoot back slowly, Kagome won't notice he's got morning wood in front of her again. Why did he promise the old man they would wait? "Ya know, I don't remember sneaking into your room."

"I snuck in yours, silly." Kagome yawns and moves closer to him. "Satoru." She looks up at him and then at his lips.

Fuck it.

He kisses her. His hand caresses her cheek and then slides down. He shouldn't—he knows he should keep things from going too far—but his hand rests just above the curve of her ass and Satoru can't help himself. "Kagome," he groans, rocking his hips, grinding against her.

She gasps as she urges him onto his back. Satoru stares up at her. His face is so warm, he must be as red as a tomato, but none of that matters. Not when Kagome is sitting on top of him. He swallows.

"Kagome—"

He moans into the kiss. She tastes like heaven. Taste like home. His arms wrap around her. He wants to flip her over and grind against her, but he's trying to be good. Trying to keep his promise. Satoru slides his hands down and grabs her ass. The ass that has been teasing him. Haunting him. Maybe he can play hooky today. Forget about his mission. Forget about the party. Just go somewhere, him and Kagome, and ditch their phones at home.

"Satoru," she breathes. Kagome leans back. Satoru swallows, his mouth suddenly so wet it feels as though he is salivating. That tank top is so thin, and she isn't wearing a bra. He inhales and holds his breath as her hand reaches behind her.

Please. Please. He's never asked for much. Okay, that might be a lie, but so what? He just wants to feel her hand on him. This is fine, right? They aren't going all the way. Just a little—

He grips her hips, startling her. Kagome raises a brow.

"Father is coming."

Kagome stares at him for a moment and then she's climbing off of him so fast, he feels the lost in his soul. He swings his legs around the bed and points to the closet.

"He'll be here in like a minute. There's no time. He probably went to your room first."

Kagome ducks into the closet and winks at him. He hesitates. If the old man catches Kagome in here, he's going to feel the aftermath of the spar for the rest of the day. Though he does have rct now, so it's not like he couldn't heal. Kagome eyes him, dragging her gaze down his chest and to the prominent hard on. Her mouth parts and damn if he doesn't want to take her into his arms again and kiss her forever.

She meets his eyes and presses a finger to her lips. Satoru glances at the door and then back at Kagome. He presses a quick kiss to her lips and then closes the door. He manages to make it back to his bed with the cover over his lap right as the old man walks in.

"Ya ever heard of knocking?" Satoru grumbles, rubbing at his face to pretend he just woke up. He drops his hand. "What's with that face?"

"Kagome wasn't in her room," the old man says with his arms crossed. The blue top is half exposed, and it takes everything, everything in Satoru to not barf at the scratches on the old man's chest.

"Did she go to pick InuYasha up?" Satoru asks, frowning.

"InuYasha knows he is to come here today for the party. He doesn't need Kagome to pick him up." Syouma frowns, mimicking Satoru. "You're being awfully calm about this."

Satoru rolls his eyes. "Because if it was something bad, then I would have sensed anyone before they came on the grounds. No one is touching my girl."

Syouma squints and then looks around the room.

"What are you doing?"

"Just checking. You two go off and bind yourselves for eternity. What else are you two doing?" Syouma squats and looks under the bed. He stands and looks around before heading towards the closet.

Shit.

Satoru pushes the cover off. "Oi, seriously? If you want to help me find her, then fine. But she ain't in here." Satoru spikes a hand through his hair and yawns loudly. "After the fuss you made the last time, Gome-chan and I slept together."

"Excuse me?"

"Uh... slept as in slept in the same bed. Not slept as in we fucked." Satoru clamps his mouth shut. Great, now he's thinking about it. "She isn't here."

Syouma snorts and opens the closet. Satoru bites his tongue.

Huh?

He wipes the confusion off his face when Syouma shuts the closet doors and turns to look at him. "Told ya she isn't here." He keeps his gaze trained on the old man even though he wants to open the closet doors himself and figure out where the hell Kagome went. Can she teleport? Because if she can and she didn't tell him, that's bullshit.

"Doesn't seem like it," Syouma mutters. "Well, when you find her, remind her the kimono is done and Ito will assist her with changing into it."

"... Right. I'll remind her." Satoru not so subtly glances at the door. "Are you going to get out?"

"Don't be disrespectful."

"I need to jerk off. Morning wood." He motions to his groin.

Syouma grimaces. "I didn't need to know that. You don't have to share everything with me." He sighs and walks out of the room. The door slams shut. Satoru waits until his father's energy is further away before he approaches the closet.

"Kagome?" Where the hell is she?

"Boo!"

His eyes widen as he catches her in his arms. "Uh, what? How the hell did you disappear..." He pulls back. "What is with the leaf?"

"I got it from Shippo, the fox kit I've been telling you about. Well, he's gotten a lot better with his invisible trick, so I keep a couple of leaves on me if I can." She plucks the leaf off her forehead and puts it in her pocket. "Pretty neat, huh?"

"You're amazing."

Kagome laughs. "This isn't me, though. It's all Shippo-chan's doing."

Shippo-chan... CRAP!

"What's wrong?" Kagome squeezes his biceps. He wants to make a joke about her touching him, but he refrains himself.

"I just remembered what my older self said. Not about Shippo," he adds, seeing the worry on her face. "About Megumi and Tsumiki? Some kids from that guy, Toji."

"What about them? Are they okay?" Kagome presses a hand to her mouth. "Oh, they're kids and he's dead."

His phone rings again, but he ignores it.

"Do you want to find them? With me? He said something about going to them soon because they're struggling." Damn it. He's been so focused on keeping Suguru afloat, he forgot all about what his older self told him. He needs to find this Megumi and Tsumiki and somehow keep Suguru from deflecting.

Kagome nods. "I can come along, but we need an excuse first for why Dad couldn't find me." She pouts. "I didn't think he would even be up this early. He's never come to my room before when I've stayed over."

"We weren't together then," Satoru says with a huff. Damn old man trying to cock block him. He wasn't even going to push for more, just enjoy the moment. "Oh, instead of InuYasha, we can stop by and say you went to get Suguru. He doesn't know the way here. I was gonna bring him by."

"I already gave Suguru directions, but sure. Is he more likely to go along with it than InuYasha?"

"If he knows what's good for him." Satoru smirks. "But enough about Suguru." He pulls her flush against his chest. "We aren't done."

Kagome looks down and then up at him. "You want me to jerk you off?"

Something in his brain misfires and his vision goes dark.

Kagome readjusts her backpack. It's getting dark, and she needs to return to the estate. She and Satoru never got around to searching for Megumi and Tsumiki. His phone wouldn't stop ringing and even though she told him to take it easy, he insisted he was fine. She frowns as she walks through the park. All she asked was if he wanted her to jerk him off and he passed out.

"Maybe I pushed him too far," she says. Kagome pauses and looks around the park. There is no one around. That isn't right. It's a park, there should be loads of people around. This place is usually crawling with people. It's only a block away from Ayumi's apartment, so it's not as though she is in some rural spot.

Wait a minute.

Kagome looks at the edge of the park and groans. A veil. She waltzed into a veil and didn't even notice. Oh boy, Satoru will not be happy about this. Good thing she told Ayumi she didn't need her to walk her back to the shrine. Kagome moves her backpack and pulls out her crossbow. Dad says it is better than carrying a bow around in the modern world.

"This is fine," she says, leaving her backpack unzipped so she can easily reach for more arrows. "Someone put up a veil. Someone that clearly wants to kick the bucket," she says with a little more emphasis.

AHHHH!

She turns her head towards the direction of the screams. Okay, maybe this isn't a curse user trying to cash in on a bounty. Or it could be a trap and maybe a curse that is tugging on her goodwill. Does it matter? No, Kagome decides. It doesn't because regardless if it is a curse or a curse user, she can handle them.

But.

This doesn't feel like a curse. Kagome runs towards the shouts. There's curse energy, but the other energy is definitely demonic. What's a demon doing in the modern world? She needs to meet up with Benzaiten and Ryuren and try to get some answers out of them. They must know where the demons are.

"Nanami! Just run!" a voice shouts.

Nanami? That name sounds familiar. Kagome stops at near the yellow slide. A demon looms over the two young sorcerers near the swings. It swings its sword up and rests the sword on its shoulders. Its tall, covered in hair with lime green eyes and a set of teeth that leaves much to be desired.

It snaps its head away from the sorcerer and at her.

"Leave them alone and pick on someone your own size, buddy!" Kagome points the crossbow at the demon.

"Get out of here!" The young man with yellow hair shouts. He clutches his side. On the ground, a blunt sword lies. He and the brown-haired boy are wearing uniforms. Jujutsu uniforms.

So, it was them that put up the veil.

"Foolish human. Always trying to be a martyr," the demon says with a chuckle. "I will rip your limbs—"

Kagome fires the shot, aims it at the demon's heart, and then rolls her eyes. Seriously? One shot? Oh well. It won't be a fight to tell Satoru about. And since she packed some purification into that arrow, there's nothing but ash to clean up.

"H-how did you do that?" the blond man asks. "Never mind, I have to get Haibara back." He bends down next to the young man.

Kagome jogs over to them, ignoring the man's questioning gaze. Oh, this is serious. Poison. She goes to place her hand over the young sorcerer's chest, when the blond man slaps her hand away.

"Do not touch him. I appreciate your assistance, but I do not know you or your intentions."

"I just saved your life," Kagome hisses. "And unless you want him to die from the poison, you'll back off and let me heal him."

"Y-you can do that?" He nods after a moment and keeps his hands to himself. Kagome inhales and places her hand over the other sorcerer.

"I'll do what I can, but he'll still need to be checked out." She focuses on purifying the poison from his body. Her phone vibrates in her pocket. She'll look at it in a bit. Probably Satoru. A bit of color returns to the brown-haired sorcerer's cheeks. "You're going to take him to Shoko, right? I would hurry. He's not in the clear yet, but he wouldn't have made it with that poison in his system."

"You know Shoko? Wait. Apologies, I'm Nanami Kento and this is Haibara Yu. Are you with the Kyoto school?"

Kagome blinks. "No."

"Oh. Okay, well. Thanks again." Nanami goes to move Haibara and falls back. He winces. "Sorry, could I bother you once more? There should be a man waiting inside a car. He'll be wearing a suit..."

"Yeah, that doesn't help at all." Kagome tugs her backpack off and puts the crossbow away. The veil is fading and soon people are going to wander over here and have questions. Maybe she should put up a barrier? She reaches into her pocket and pulls out her phone.

Suguru?

"Do you know if Suguru is close by?"

"Geto-san? He should be at the school."

"Great! Even though he should have been on his way to the estate." Kagome clicks on Suguru's name and smiles. "Suguru! My third favorite sorcerer, I need your help."

A/N: Syouma was probably side-eyeing them when they claimed Kagome left early to go talk to Suguru when she has a phone. We will be getting a Naoya vs InuYasha 'spar' at this party.

Can't believe Christmas is just around the corner. Since we'll be getting the Christmas Wish updates, I might even have How To Tame Satoru come to that verse in the Santa outfit.

Stay safe! Make sure to get plenty of rest and take your vitamins. Take care of yourselves and refill your well.
