Chapter 17: Hit the Springs then the Sack (dosen't leave much to imagination ne?)

Kagome's obsidien tresses flew back behind her like a silk flag flapping in the wind. The cool breeze brought a calming sensation throughout her and all she wanted to do was fall asleep. Of course, to fall asleep would probably be impossible due to Inuyasha's incredible speed and the shattering collisions his feet made with the ground on every jump.

They had been walking for a while, until Kagome realized they weren't getting anywhere fast and opted for a ride on Inuyasha's back. So here she was, riding on Inuyasha, with his arms securely wrapped under her thighs so that she was not to fall off. They had past the Bone Eater's Well not too long ago, so there was no doubt that they would be at the village shortly.

Sure enough, the small huts began to appear into view, which brought a huge smile to Kagome's face. Hopefully Kouga would be there so she could talk to him.

Inuyasha skidded to sudden halt, causing inertia to make Kagome slam closer into his back. He was enjoying spending time with Kagome so much that he almost didn't notice that they had arrived at the hut.

"Okay we're here," he then looked over his shoulder to Kagome, he face now back to it's usual Inuyasha demeanor, "now get off"

Kagome just smiled and let herself slide down over his back until the ground reached her feet and stopping her, "thanks for the ride, Inuyasha," with no warning whatsoever, Kagome slammed herself into Inuyasha's back in a tight embrace that left Inuyasha with no air in his lungs.

"No problem," he managed to choke out, it was almost undecipherable. Then when she let go, he began to greedily gasp for air, "fuck kagome, what the hell did you do that for?," when he turned around to regard the girl, she just shrugged her shoulders and giggled before shifting the flap, blocking the entrance to the hut, and pacing inside. It was great to see her smile. Inuyasha smiled himself, and then shortly followed suit.

"Hey guys!," Kagome greeted as she entered the room, her smile dropped a tad when she failed to find Kouga sitting around anywhere in the small two room shack, 'oh well, he'll probably be here later', she took a seat next to Sango.

"Ah, I see you've found Inuyasha," Miroku chirped with a beaming smile as he looked to Inuyasha, "you really should start telling us where you go skulking off to, I mean if you get lost, we're never going to find you"

Inuyasha noticed that the monk was just trying to make him angry, "feh, shut up Miroku," with that he gave the monk a glare and sat down beside Kagome.

Miroku kept his calm demeanor, "so, what were you two doing?," he looked to Kagome for a response this time.

"None of your fucking business monk!," Inuyasha all but screamed out. His temple was also practically throbbing.

Everyone just stared at their hanyou friend due to his sudden outburst, Kagome went bugeyed, 'well I guess Inuyasha's back to normal'

Miroku placed his hands up in defense at a seething Inuyasha, "It was just an innocent question, no need to get testy"

Inuyasha just sat back and folded his hands into his haori, grumbling to himself about nosey perverted monks.

Kagome was determined to break off of that subject, but then she noticed that she was still wearing her pajamas. 'How long have I had these on? Ah! Ever since last night!', boy, did she feel dirty, "I think I'm going to go change into some clean clothes", she announced and began to stand up.

Sango, who noticed Kagome's discomforted and was also quite curious about a few things, also sprung up to her feet next to Kagome, "Kagome, before you get changed, would you like to take a bath with me in the hot springs nearby?"

A bright smile appeared on Kagome's face, "I thought you'd never ask! Sure!," Kagome walked over to her huge yellow backpack, which she had left in the hut earlier before her walk, "just let me get a few supplies, then we can be on our way!"

"May I offer my assistance, ladies?", Miroku asked innocently while wrapping his arms around their shoulders when they stood together.

Both girls gave him a hopeless sigh and then gave him a short glare before whacking him over the head causing twice the damage and two lumps to grow amidst his dark hair, then both taking their leave with Sango talking about what she had to endure while Kagome was gone.

Miroku sighed defeated before a seat next to Inuyasha, was just giving him a vacuous stare, "Miroku?"

"Yes, Inuyasha?"

"How many times have you asked to help them while bathing?"

"Everytime"

"And how many times have they accepted?"

"Never..."

"Then why the hell do you keep asking?"

Miroku glanced over to Inuyasha and stuck his index finger up matter-of-factly, "Inuyasha, women are confusing creatures, but normally easy to woo. Those two have a barrier around then that doesn't allow them to show their true feelings for me. And if I stop trying to break that barrier, neither one will ever bear me a child, Therefore I must keep trying so that they will warm up to me"

Inuyasha sweat dropped and was staring blankly, "That...was the stupidest thing you've ever said"

Miroku gave an exasperated sigh, "I wouldn't expect you of all people to understand anyway"

Inuyasha's wide blank staring eyes turned into slits, hitting the monk hard over the head and turning away, "Idiot"

(Warning: Girl Talk! Haha....that was weird)

"Kagome, you know your not good at keeping your face schooled when you have a secret that's dying to let itself be known", Sango said as she climbed into the heated pool with Kagome, removing her towel just before it touched the water.

Kagome eyes widened with surprise just a little, but not enough to notice, "secret? Sango I don't have any secrets, and if I did you know I wouldn't keep any from you"

"I'm sure, not even if they have anything to do with a certain wolf prince that traveled through the well with you?," Sango saw as Kagome worried her bottom lip between her teeth, "ha see, you get all tense at the mention of him," Sango treaded water over to the girl and raised an interested eyebrow, "what did happen between you two anyway? And don't say nothing because I know that would be a lie"

'Since when as Sango become so forward?', Kagome thought as she looked into the knowing eyes of her friend, should she tell? Well, of course she wanted to but it would just be weird to say it, "Well, he kissed me"

Sango's eyes widened, then her eyebrows narrowed in disappointment, "Kagome, that blush is not the blush of a girl who has just been kissed! Now tell me what happened"

Whoa, Sango was becoming more and more persistent, but Kagome was grateful that she wasn't talking to Yuka, Eri, or Ayumi. She twiddled her fingers a little before she finally came up with another answer and cracked under Sango's gaze, "Okay, it went a bit further than kissing"

Sango gave her an incredulous look. She had only been playing with the girl, she didn't actually think that anything had happened. There was a strained silence for a minute which seemed like twenty unitl Sango gave a reply, "oh, I see"

Kagome caught on to what her friend was thinking quickly, "Oh no, no, we didn't do 'it'! We didn't go that far!", Kagome tried to reassure her friend, 'or at least we didn't get a chance to', she mentally added.

"Oh, okay," Sango seemed to ease down a bit, "but you know Kagome, I wouldn't have scolded you for it, it just would have surprised me," then she accompanied her statement with a warm smile.

'Well, at least that's good to know', Kagome sighed then looked over to the taijiya, "Sango?"

"Yeah, Kagome?"

"I think I'm falling in love with Kouga, I mean I've only been with him three days and I feel incomplete when he's not with me. Do you think that's...weird?"

"Well, not entirely," Sango started, "Maybe you've been falling in love with him since you first met him and these past three days were just something that finally made you realize it"

Since when had Sango become on expert on love? Well, it didn't matter to Kagome, Sango was the only one she could confide in at the moment, "I think I want to give myself to him"

Sango just stared at the girl for a second before beaming her a smile, "that's great Kagome! Kouga loves you, and you're obviously in love with him and you make such a cute couple"

Kagome simply sweat dropped at the sudden change in Sango's character, "your encouraging me? I thought you would be talking me out of it!"

"Of course I wouldn't Kagome, it's your choice to make," then her face turned a tad bit more serious, "do you want me to talk you out of it?"

"No, I've made my mind up about it. You just surprised me is all," Kagome began to bit her fingernails, she was really starting to make a habit of biting things, "But Sango, what happens if I get pregnant? I'm not ready to have a baby!"

Sango looked up to nowhere in particular, she seemed to be thinking, "Well, as far as I know about youkai, the males are actually able to sterilize their seed so that the female can't get pregnant. That's how the can be permiscuous and not have to worry about children or mating"

"Oh...do you think Kouga would cheat on me?!", Kagome became a bit tense at the thought.

"Of course not! Not if your his mate and bare his mark, as long as you hold that title, he'll be hopelessly devoted to you. It's quite romantic really. And there's no doubt in my mind that Kouga plans to make to his mate, ne?"

Kagome gave her friend a huge smile of relief, it was somewhat romantic and the thought of being Kouga's mate deemed very exciting to Kagome, "how do you know so much about demons?"

The older girl shrugged her shoulder and returned a smile, "it comes with the taijiya title I guess," Sango rinsed out her hair, "well we should be getting back before Miroku comes looking for us, and we definitely don't want that"

"Good idea," Kagome laughed as they both proceeded to evacuate the pool of water and drying themselves off.

Once dried off, the two girls were making their way back to the village, Kagome and Sango took their time. They weren't in too big of a rush and felt that Miroku and Inuyasha wouldn't need them anytime soon.

Chipper laughter rang through the tree branches, it didn't seem that loud, but seeing that the rest of the forest was unoccupied for the most part, their chortling sang out like church bells on a Sunday morning.

In the midst of their 'girl talk', a man sized tornado stopped abruptly in front of them, when the dust cleared, it revealed none other than the dashing wolf prince himself. Both girls just stood there blinking for about a minute before finally digesting the knowledge that he was there.

"Hey Kouga!," Kagome said all too excitedly. A bit scary for Sango's liking.

"I was just on my way to the village to see you and I caught on to your scent here, so I just came to join you, hope you don't mind...I didn't feel like waiting," he suggested with a small smirk.

"I bet you didn't," Sango mumbled while rising and eyebrow, to the innuendo unknown to Kouga.

"What?," Kouga just barely caught the gist of what the taijiya had said.

"Oh nothing," then Sango turned to Kagome, "I'll just continue on to the hut I guess, leave you two to...talk", Kagome gave her a warm smile before the girl began to walk away, "good luck!"

Kouga was giving the retreating female one of the oddest looks. Did he miss something? "Good luck?," he turned to Kagome with a questioning eye only to find that he himself was under her scrutiny. "what?"

Kagome noticed that Kouga was back into his normal battle attire rather than the clothes she had bought for him, "you changed?", 'too bad, he looked really good in those jeans', she absently thought.

"Yeah well, the rest of the pack were giving me strange looks and didn't know what to make of it. Plus being back in the Sengoku Jidai, I would need my armor don't you think?" he replied with a charming smirk, "so, where were you two coming from?", he asked, jutting his thumb over his shoulder to signal to the already disembarked Sango.

"Oh, we were just out getting a bath and were on our way back to the village," that little pool of heat began to rise up in her stomach once again as she tried her best to stay calm under his intense azure gaze.

"I see, well I guess we should get back there," he said with a big smile.

"No, I don't want to go back...at least not yet," she walked over to him, looking up, and then embraced him in a hug, 'Kami, this is so embarrassing to ask', "I'm ready- I mean- I- ah- Will you make love to me?"

Kouga's hold on Kagome became a little tighter as soon as the words made their way out past her lips, that was also when he caught the spike of arousal in her scent. Without a second thought, Kouga took Kagome up in his arms and held her bridal style before retreating from the wooded area.

Kagome was a bit surprised at his actions, he had shown no emotion to her request and she had no clue where he was taking her.

They finally came to Kouga's destination. It was a simple hill, but littered with exotic, velvety flowers and in their direct view was the huge, bright, round form of the moon.

Kouga let Kagome down to stand in front of him. He knew very well that the girl was a virgin, it was impossible to miss in her scent. Another reason that she would have made the perfect mate, to take a female's virginity was a sign that he had claimed her first. Now Kagome was asking him to do this. Staring down into her eyes, Kouga noticed the pleading look of want in her eyes, "are you sure this is what you want, Kagome?" he asked her seriously as he felt himself harden against her, "there's no going back. You'll be mine forever, you'll never be able to escape me and don't think I'll allow you to leave me. Is this what you want? To be my mate?" 'finally?'

"Yes," she stated simply. Sango had explained a lot of the circumstances of demon mating to her and what it meant. Instead of making her shy away from it, it only further assured her that Kouga truly loved her. He was willing to spend eternity with her, loving her, cherishing her, and they would watch the world around them change together. It was a wonderfully romantic ritual, and she wanted nothing more than to share it with Kouga. Realizing that she was really willing to do this, "I love you"

Kouga smirked, then bent down to place a chaste kiss on her lips, but didn't let it linger too long before he pulled away to look deeply into her eyes, still smirking, "close your eyes," he whispered sensuously in her ear that sent a small shiver down Kagome's spine.

Nervously biting her bottom lip, she did as she was told. Wondering what he had planned to do with her.

She felt Kouga grasp her hands, pulling her a little closer to his body and laying them upon his chest. Kagome blushed and instinctively knew that he wanted her hands to explore his body. She swallowed the lump in her throat, the blush never leaving her cheeks. Slowly, she let her hands move down over his chest, passing her nails lightly over his nipples, causing the wolf to shudder. He too now had his eyes closed, using his other senses to enjoy her touch.

Her hands began to travel back to his broad shoulders, then up to cup his face while trailing his hair line with one finger. She then proceeded the sift her fingers through his hair. He had let it down. She let her fingers glide all the way down to the tips, trying to imagine how he looked right now, naked before her.

Leaving his hair, she began to trail down once more, approaching his waist, she made sure to feel every ripple of muscle under her fingers, when she reached his hips, she stopped, afraid to go any further. Opening her eyes, she was greeted with the intense icy gaze of Kouga, whose face was just inches from her own.

His eyes traced over every feature on her face. The moon illuminated her into an ethereal state of view. He breathed lightly over her face, just memorizing her in every way possible before his lips crushed hers in a passionate kiss. He began to run his tongue over her lips, begging for entrance so that he may explore the depths of her mouth once more. Kagome's lips parted, allowing the demons tongue to slip inside. Kouga began to massage her tongue with his own, gently sucking on it and rubbing the top of his tongue over the side of hers. Kagome's hands on Kouga's hips began to twitch a little as she moaned softly into his mouth.

Kagome's hands began to move inward a little, the move went unnoticed by Kouga as he was much to busy seducing her mouth with his tongue. Once Kagome found the courage to do so, she brought one of her hands in to grasp his erection. Kouga, who was unprepared for the move, instantly sucked in a quick breath, but then continued to ravish her mouth.

She began to slowly stroke him lightly in an up and down motion, feeling him get harder if possible, it could have been her imagination. But now feeling him for herself, she regretted the pencil remark, this was no pencil!

Breaking the kiss, Kouga ran his tongue down her throat until he rested on her pulse point, sucking gently and placing wet kisses every so often. He had obviously hit a weak spot, she let out a moan and he felt her grasp on him give a small squeeze, causing a shock of pleasure to pass through his body. Kouga stopped her and laughed lightly as he placed his forehead on hers, "keep that up and it'll be over before it even starts"

Kagome blushed deeply, he gave her another small kiss before lowering her down into the bed of flowers beneath them, keeping his body in close proximity with hers. He loomed over her with both hands at her sides.

His eyes were glazed over and Kagome had no clue to what he was going to do next, his stare alone was enough to make her feel a wetness between her legs. Caught off guard due to her imagination, she felt both of his hands sneak up her shirt, and slowly it was pulled up over her head.

Kouga began to knead her lace-clad breasts and in one stroke of his claw, splitting the foreign device in half, making Kagome gasp at the action. He smirked before lowering himself down to ravish her supple mounds of flesh in his mouth, he ran a fang over one of the taut pecks while giving the other attention with his claws.

Kagome closed her eyes in pure ecstasy, arching her back up and slamming he head back into the soft flowers. She fisted her hand into Kouga's hair as she moaned the pleasure she had begun to feel.

Kouga started to move further down her body until he came to the seam of her skirt, finding the zipper, he pulled it down and removed the article of clothing from her body. He looked down only to find another barrier that challenged his penetration. He placed his hand over the thin, silky material. Stroking it over lightly, looking up to the girl's face, who was watching his hand while biting her bottom lip, he smirked then continued to concentrate on what he was doing. He lowered himself over her body once more staring into her face with a grin and slashed open the side of the last of her clothing, her eyes widened and were very surprised and was also accompanied by a sudden intake of breath, "can't have those blocking our way can we?," Kouga smirked down at her as Kagome shuddered.

Their moans and screams of their activities could be heard through the forest, ringing out, them being oblivious to the rest of the world to care.

Kagome sighed happily, "Kouga?," mirth shining in her tone.

"Yes, love?," he brought his hand over her waist to grasp hers.

"I'm not going to get pregnant am I?," she tensed a bit, waiting for his answer.

"No," he smirked into her neck, "we have way too much to do before any pups come along," he answered in a husky tone and kissing her mark.

Kagome shivered as her imagination ran wild, thinking of things to come.

"I love you, Kagome"

Kagome smiled as she let sleep take over, "I love you, too"
