Chapter Twenty-Five: Toward the Horizon

"Sesshoumaru! C'mon, we're going to be late!" Kagome cried as she tried to pull Sesshoumaru out of bed while trying to pull on her dress pants. "The freaking alarm didn't go off and we're going to be late for the preliminary hearing! Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

Sesshoumaru tried to open his sleepy, droopy eyes. What was she yelling at so early? It wasn't time to leave yet. He had set the alarm clock so that they could get up early enough and be on time for court. Sesshoumaru was always prompt. He had never been late for a court date, so it was impossible for him to be late now.

"Cease your squawking, woman. We are not late. This Sesshoumaru set the alarm last night before we retired. Do not give yourself an ulcer. This Sesshoumaru has never - "

Kagome interrupted Sesshoumaru's assurance. "Well, that Sesshoumaru, you didn't set the alarm. We need to be in court for 9am and it is now 8:30! C'mon Sesshoumaru! You need to get dressed! Rin also needs to come with us because Rin's Nanny is sick!"

Sesshoumaru groaned in aggravation. Glancing at the electronic clock, Sesshoumaru read the red letters. '8:32'.

His eyes widened comically as he threw off the warm blankets. The cool air in the room made him shiver slightly. Or maybe it was what he saw when he sat up.

Kagome was hopping around the room, wearing a black lacy bra, pulling her black slacks up her legs. Her matching black thong was very visible as she succeeded in pulling her pants higher up her legs. Sesshoumaru smirked devilishly.

"So it's lace today," Sesshoumaru commented as he slowly stood up out of bed. Kagome managed to pull her pants up and around her hips and fastened them in the front. She stood in front of Sesshoumaru with as much dignity as she could, being only half dressed.

"Do not make me make you get dressed. You will not like my methods," Kagome warned as she retrieved her sapphire blue, cotton blouse. Doing up the buttons, she glanced up at Sesshoumaru who had pulled on a clean pair of silk boxers and was buttoning up his slacks.

Sesshoumaru made a face.

"I'm going, woman. Do not have a kitten," Sesshoumaru commented.

"I won't if you won't," Kagome agreed as she looked in the mirror to make sure her hair looked passable. Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome as he threw on his white wife beater. She gave her hair a little shake and her soft curls fell attractively around her face and down her shoulders.

"Passable," Kagome mumbled to herself as she bent down to retrieve her black strappy sandals. She slipped her foot in the shoe, pulled her pant leg up past her knee, and wrapped the two black strings up her leg until it ran out of strings just below her knee. She tied them into a knot and grabbed the other shoe.

"Fuckable was the word I was looking for," Sesshoumaru muttered almost silently. Sesshoumaru finished buttoning up the last button on his blue silk shirt. Grabbing his black tie, he speedily tied it up and grabbed his suit coat and a hair tie.

"Ready to go?" Sesshoumaru questioned as he flipped his coat on and secured his hair tie around his wrist for later use.

"Let me just grab Rin and we will go." Kagome swooped down and snatched her black purse from the floor. Popping up, she kissed his cheek and scooted out of the room. "I'll see you down at the door."

Sesshoumaru nodded and grabbed his briefcase and files. Rushing out of his room, his silver hair whipping behind him, he flew down the stairs and met Kagome and a sleepy Rin at the door. Looking at Kagome, he quirked a questioning eye brow.

In her arms was Rin, wearing footy, pink pajamas and a thumb in her mouth, and a baby bag filled with toys, Cheerios, and other necessities. Kagome scowled at him.

"It's either she eats or looks good. You decide," Kagome griped as she turned to open the front door. "And I couldn't find a pretty little dress," Kagome offered as she hefted her load.

Sesshoumaru nodded and locked the door behind them.

(~^-^)(^-^~)

"Crap!" Kagome cussed as she slipped on the floor as Sesshoumaru, Rin and herself entered the court room. Thankfully, Sesshoumaru had snatched Rin from the back in her car seat and his brief case, while Kagome carried the traveling bag and her purse.

"Whoa!" Rin smiled as she looked around the huge room filled with people and other shiny objects. Passing through the swinging mini-doors, Sesshoumaru and Kagome started to 'set up camp' at their assigned table.

"I'm surprised I didn't die on the way here," Kagome muttered to herself as she set the bright ducky baby bag on the ground beside her seat.

"But we are here on time, Kagome, do not forget that," Sesshoumaru reminded her as he balanced his daughter on his right hip and set his leather brief case down on the table.

Kagome muttered something intelligible. Sesshoumaru inwardly rolled his eyes.

Setting Rin down on the polished table, Sesshoumaru gathered his long hair and tied it up in a high pony tail with the black hair tie around his wrist. Brushing his bangs back out of his eyes, he picked his daughter up again and put her back on his hip. He turned to see Inuyasha glaring at him from across the court room. Before Sesshoumaru could set Rin down and take his seat Miroku ceremoniously entered through his 'special door'.

Jerry called court to order as a happy Miroku sauntered into the room, with a little bounce in his step.

"Good morning, Earthlings! Have no fear, your Master is here!" Miroku cried as he waltzed past the prosecution table [and glared at the skittish lawyer] and his eyes landed on the defense table. His violet eyes brightened as they zeroed in on the bouncing bundle of joy. "My God! My favorite little brownie is here!"

Rin looked up in outrage at being called a brownie. She clutched her baggie of Cheerios to her chest and her other hand was clenching her father's suit jacket. She shot Miroku a quizzical look. The judge threw his hands out in front of him, an overly happy smile was plastered on his face. Rin's face was unchanging. She did not remove her eyes from Miroku as she released Sesshoumaru's coat and let her small hand dig deep, deep, deep down into the bag of Cheerios. She picked up a single round O and put it in her mouth, as well as most of her fingers.

Miroku jogged over and stuck his face right in Rin's.

"Hello, Sweetie!" Miroku cooed. "Guess what? Your Uncle Miroku made up with his girlfriend last night! Yes he did! Oh, and what a make up it was! Ah, Sango, what an amazing woman, and with such stamina!"

"Your Honor, may we proceed?" Sesshoumaru asked stoically.

Miroku sighed, "I suppose."

Miroku took his seat and pulled his gavel out of his pocket. After calling court to order, and the audience took a seat, the prosecution called up their witness; Tanna Kikyo.

After the prosecution had Kikyo testify, saying Kagome was an anger-aholic and had tendencies of abusing her, Sesshoumaru had a go at her. Although he was usually seen as an intimidating figure, he seemed less dangerous with a giggling toddler on his hip. Sesshoumaru inwardly sighed and reacted instinctually; he set Rin down on her PJ clad feet.

"Ms. Tanna, you claimed that Ms. Higurashi had inflicted bodily harm to you, correct?" Sesshoumaru asked as he flipped through his previously made notes.

"Yes," Kikyo nodded.

"Hn," Sesshoumaru grunted when his daughter latched onto his leg and sat on his left foot. Wrapping her tiny arms around his calf, she leaned into him and giggled loudly when he tried to shake her off gently. Giving up, Sesshoumaru limped over to the witness stand and he lingered over Kikyo. "Did you go to the hospital to take care of your alleged wounds?"

"N-no."

Miroku was leaning over the front of the judge's bench, watching the questioning.

"All right," Sesshoumaru said, moving on. "You said she had anger issues. Would you care to give us an example?"

"After Inuyasha broke up with Kagome, she was yelling and screaming. She threatened me!" Kikyo exclaimed, her voice cracking slightly.

"Uh huh," Sesshoumaru stated uncharacteristically, obviously not convinced. "And are there any reliable witnesses to confirm your...accusations?"

"Well, no." Kikyo replied weakly.

"So, are you just throwing random accusations out in thin air, hoping one will snag?"

"No!"

"What happened the night you were allegedly assaulted?"

At this, Kikyo smirked.

"Well," she started out arrogantly, "she was sitting in the corner, sucking face with you, when my boyfriend, Inuyasha, and I struck up conversation with you. She became enraged because Inuyasha was there with me. She picked up a glass and threw it at me." Kikyo breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Sorry to burst your bubble," Sesshoumaru started cruelly, "but on account of four eye witnesses, that testified earlier, Kagome was provoked by you and Inuyasha. Also, the glass she threw was so far away from you, that there was no possible way to cause any damage." Sesshoumaru took a breath. "Did you just open this law suit up so that you can finally break Higurashi Kagome? Destroy everything she holds dear, just to spite her?"

Kikyo sat in silence.

Rin removed herself from her father's leg and crawled over to the middle of the court room. Standing up on her two tiny feet, Rin let her legs part and her feet to slide against the marble floor. Falling into a successful split position, Rin raised her tiny arms above her head, a bright smile twinkling on her face.

Miroku looked at the little lump on the floor. "Good job, Rin!" Miroku praised as he clapped quietly.

Sesshoumaru spun around on the ball of his foot and closed his file folder. Looking down at his little girl on the floor, he quirked an eyebrow.

"Play with me, Daddy!" Rin chirped loudly as she clapped her hands above her head.

"When we get home, Baby." Sesshoumaru whispered as he bent over to pick her up by her hands. Swinging her up, he threw her into the air and caught her against his chest. She giggled happily and rested her chin on her father's shoulder, looking at Kikyo. Rin stuck her tongue out at the woman who gawked.

"Your Honor," Sesshoumaru addressed Miroku when he returned to his table. "the defense moves for a dismissal due to insufficient evidence."

Miroku acknowledged Sesshoumaru with a single nod. "Hell yes. Case dismissed." Miroku hit his mallet on the wooden wedge and court was dismissed.

Kagome sighed in relief and slouched in her chair.

"Was that it?" Kagome asked when Sesshoumaru turned to her.

"Well, Kagome, why would this case go to trial when there is virtually no evidence to support the accusation? That would be a waste of time and money, don't you think?" Sesshoumaru supplied as he stole the baggie of Cheerios from Rin who swatted at him. Grabbing a handful of the dry breakfast cereal, he tossed his head back and munched the food into a size small enough to swallow.

Kagome breathed out heavily.

"Alright-y then. Can we go get something to eat now?"

(~^-^)(^-^~)

"My love has returned to me! Oh, be still my savage heart!" Haru cried as he launched himself at Kagome. Her eyes bulged as she put Rin down in the foyer of the Taisho mansion. Sesshoumaru turned away from the door he just closed and shut his hand into a tight fist. Throwing his weight into it, Sesshoumaru fired his fist at Haru, landing squarely on his forehead. Haru fell to the ground with a heavy thud and a deep groan. "Nice to see you too, Sesshou," Haru added.

"Sesshoumaru! That wasn't very nice!" Kagome admonished as she watched the growing bump on Haru's head.

"He had it coming," Sesshoumaru justified.

Kagome sighed sadly before stepping over the fallen Taisho. Ai walked up to Kagome and Sesshoumaru as Rin toddled past to find her grandfather.

"Oh, I didn't expect to see you all back so soon! How did the trial go? Oh, Sesshoumaru, why is your brother on the floor like that? Oh come in, come in! Your brothers and Sachi all went out to God knows where! It's good to see you again, Kagome!" Ai gushed as she ushered the rushed pair into the dining room.

"Hello, Mrs. Taisho," Kagome greeted as she sat in a high back chair beside Sesshoumaru.

"Call me Ai, dear," Ai said brightly.

"All right." Kagome giggled as she looked at the bouncy woman. Sesshoumaru smirked a tiny bit and rested his big hand on Kagome's knee under the table as Ai shuffled over to the buffet that sat against the wall. Gently, Kagome placed her hand over his and rubbed the top of his hand. Ai served hot tea to the couple at the table. Kagome smiled her thanks and turned to Sesshoumaru.

What's going to happen to them now? She hoped that Sesshoumaru would want to continue with their building relationship. Perhaps he would ask her to move in, then eventually they could get married and have children and...

Well, she was getting ahead of herself now.

"So, how did the trial go?" Ai asked as she settled across from the couple.

Before an answer could be made, Kaido entered the room, crawling on his hands and knees, with Rin sitting on his back. Every time Kaido would shift oddly, Rin would grab onto the collar of his shirt so she wouldn't fall off, choking her grandfather in the process.

"You know," Kaido started grudgingly. "I thought once Sachi got old enough I would get the right to stop crawling around on the floor and playing 'Horsey'. I suppose I never anticipated grand-children." Kaido sighed out loud and exited the room again, whinnying all the way.

A dead silence reigned over the room.

"So..." Ai started, "won't you stay for lunch?"

Kagome smiled widely.

"Oh thank God!"

(~^-^)(^-^~)

"Mother, are you sure you are okay with leaving Rin here for the night? She can be quite a handful sometimes and I don't want to inconvenience you," Sesshoumaru questioned as he shrugged himself into his fancy leather jacket.

"Oh, it's all right, dear. Your Father and baby are taking a nap and you know how impossible it is to wake them up. She has lots of extra clothes and toys here. Just come by tomorrow whenever you can and get her. It's not a problem," Ai beamed at the attractive couple in front of her. She had a chance to speak privately to Kagome when Sesshoumaru went to go find his daughter. Now, she was more than aware of Kagome's intentions and the plan she had laid out for that night.

Kagome had confided in Ai that she was a bit nervous, but also excited. Ai was happy as a clam and tried to soothe Kagome's jumpy nerves. Remembrance dawned on Ai when she saw Sesshoumaru watching Kagome's backside when she was tying up her sandals.

"I'll be back," Ai said quietly as she slipped into the next room.

Kagome pulled herself back up and straightened her blouse out. Sesshoumaru sighed quietly to himself and wrapped a long arm around Kagome's small waist. She smiled slightly and leaned into him. Ai came back in the room with a magazine. She handed it to Kagome with a wink.

"Here you are, dear. The woman's bible," Ai confided.

Kagome looked down and read the title. Cosmopolitan.

Smiling, Kagome looked back at Ai and wiggled her eye brows happily, a fiendish smirk on her face.

"Thanks," Kagome sighed and pulled Sesshoumaru towards the door.

"Not a problem, Kagome. Come back any time, dear. Good bye!" Ai cheered as she closed the door, a knowing smile on her face.

(~^-^)(^-^~)

Sesshoumaru pulled his Jaguar onto the main stretch of road and pushed the accelerator. Kagome thought it was as good a time as any to read the magazine she had been gifted with since Sesshoumaru seemed engrossed in driving safely [and legally.] Flipping to the table of contents, Kagome scanned for some articles that may prove to be useful.

Page 120. What Even Experienced Chicks Forget to Do in Bed

Smiling, Kagome flipped through the magazine and read through the article.

If you want your man, let him know by initiating action. "Guys are often the ones to suggest sex, so if you seduce him, he'll figure your passion means he must be a good lover," explains Pam Spurr, PhD, author of Naught Tricks and Sexy Tips. Display how ravenous you are with the following tactics:

•(1) Ambush him when you get home - it's like you've been anticipating bedding him all day

•(2) Should a frisky mood arise while you're at a restaurant, nudge him and say, 'Let's get this to go.'

•(3) Teddy, 30, can tell a woman is into it if she tears his clothes off during foreplay instead of waiting for him to undress himself

•(4) Seduce him when he least expects it, such as by pulling him into a bathroom to hook up at a party

Kagome cocked her head to the side. Okay, now she had some sort of idea on how to approach the upcoming subject. Sesshoumaru kept glancing her way, but she was none the wiser. He leaned across the armrest to see what she was so focused in. Kagome saw this and jerked away, hiding the open magazine page to her chest.

"What are you doing?" Kagome asked, blushing like a raspberry.

"What are you reading?" Sesshoumaru ignored her question to ask his own.

"That is not any of your business now is it?" Kagome shifted in her seat to sit farther away from Sesshoumaru. Oh yes, she was embarrassed about reading sex tips with him right beside her. Talk about awkward.

"Why so secretive?" Sesshoumaru was getting suspicious. He looked toward the road again, not wanting to die on the way back to the mansion.

"Because it's an article on how to deal with menstrual cramps." Kagome shook her head and let her hair fall out of her face.

Sesshoumaru made a face and decided he would stop asking questions.

Kagome was safe, for now.

She sighed and settled back in her seat. Flipping back to the table of contents, she found another usefully article.

Page 110. Your Orgasm - Guaranteed

Kagome blushed when she read the title, but flipped to the page any way. When she opened the article, the small pictures depicting different positions made her blush. Even though they weren't real people, just little orange and yellow figures, it still made her face hot. She glanced over the seven positions suggested in the article.

The Slow Climb, The Criss-Cross, The Giddy-Up, Down Dog, Torrid Tabletop, Lusty Lap Dance, The Spoon.

By the time Kagome finished the article, red as a fire hydrant. Thankfully, Sesshoumaru pulled the car up to the house. Turning to her after unbuckling his seat belt, Sesshoumaru went to reach for the magazine in Kagome's hand. Moving it quickly out of the way, she shook one finger at him.

"Uh uh, mister. This is for girls. If you want a magazine, go read Sports Illustrated." Kagome smirked and got out of the car.

Sesshoumaru grunted in response and got out of the car, locking the door.

(~^-^)(^-^~)

Stepping inside the large foyer, Kagome crouched down and began to untie the long stings of her sandals. Bending down caused the front of her blouse to fall, exposing her black lacy bra.

Jaken had taken that moment to skid around the corner. Last night, he spent the night hiding by the wine rack. He decided now that he had to profusely get his master for forgiveness and another chance at the smidge he called life. Although, Life seemed to have thrown him back into the pits of hell when he stopped at the front door.

"Master! I am - hummana hummana hummana!" Jaken mumbled when he eyed Kagome's creamy skin.

Kagome looked up at the odd sound and saw Jaken drooling at her.

"Bah!" Kagome cried as she toppled backwards onto her bottom. Her crouch caused her to land with her legs a little farther apart then she really wanted. Jaken's eyes went straight for the slack clad area between her thighs. Kagome gasped again and shimmied backward on the floor, closing her legs tight and pushing up against Sesshoumaru's calf.

Sesshoumaru had looked at Kagome when she squawked the first time. His eyes instantly shot red and the color deepen when Jaken eyed the treasure that was sure to be Sesshoumaru's. Sesshoumaru stepped over Kagome, making sure she was behind him and bent down to grab Jaken by the color of his butler-like suit.

Jaken snapped back to attention and large tear drops formed in his eyes.

"No! Master! I beg your forgiveness! It's just that she smells to alluring! It could not be helped! No! That was the wrong thing to say! Please, Master, have mercy on your faithful servant!" Jaken screeched as he tried to wiggle out of Sesshoumaru iron clasp.

"Silence fool!" Sesshoumaru snarled. "You shall be dealt with for your lack of respect for Ms. Higurashi!"

Sesshoumaru shook Jaken roughly by the collar, back and forth a couple of times. Jaken started to see stars.

"I'll be upstairs, Sesshoumaru," Kagome whispered quietly as she got herself off of the ground. Stepping up on her toes, Kagome gave Sesshoumaru a reassuring kiss on the cheek before she bounded up the stairs, taking two at a time. She didn't stop her hasty trek until she got to Sesshoumaru's room. She had some preparing to do.

(~^-^)(^-^~)

Ten minutes later, a nullified Sesshoumaru walked up the stairs. Somewhere, on his vast property, Jaken was being mauled by the giant black dog Sesshoumaru kept for a guard. Feeling infinitely better, Sesshoumaru opened the almost closed door to his room. Slipping inside, Sesshoumaru turned around to face the door. He pushed it shut and let his forehead rest against it gently. Had he been paying attention, he would have heard Kagome walk up behind him, stalking him like he was her prey.

Sighing quietly to himself, Sesshoumaru turned around, only to be forced against the door again. With his back pressed firmly to the door, Sesshoumaru could see his captor; Kagome. Kagome smirked up at the shocked demon. This time, she was in charge and she would make sure that Sesshoumaru knew exactly who she belonged to; him.

Quirking an eye brow at her, Sesshoumaru looked down to see what she was wearing. If he was any other male, his eyes would have popped out of his head. But being the controlled individual that he was, he schooled his features, but that didn't stop the lust that crept into his eyes.

Kagome was, indeed, a vixen.

She wore her hair down, and flipped, to give it some more body. She had on a deep red bra with black, transparent lace covering the material. Lace flower designs taunted his vision at the base of the contraption. Matching black bikini style panties adorned her lower half. A garter belt was attached, holding up the black, small holed fishnet stockings she wore.

Sesshoumaru gulped and moved his hands to touch her. Kagome stopped him, though, grabbing his large hands with hers.

"Not yet, Sesshoumaru," Kagome purred as she squeezed his giant hands in hers. Letting him go, she pulled off the black suit jacket and tossed it carelessly to the ground. Pulling on the knot of his tie, Kagome gave it a good yank, lengthening the neck hole big enough that she could easily slip it over his head. Hastily she unbuttoned his dress shirt. Grabbing the two open ends, she pulled Sesshoumaru away from the door. Unable to resist temptation, Sesshoumaru's hands rubbed Kagome's sides and moved up to give her breasts a soft squeeze.

Kagome gasped at the new sensation but continued on with her mission of undressing the sex god.

Turning him around, Kagome had him face away from the large bed. Speedily, she pulled his shirt off and yanked off his wife beater. Instantly, Sesshoumaru swooped Kagome into his arms and pressed her against his chest. Kagome gasped audibly as she met his warm skin. How was it possible that he could feel so hot, yet not be up in flames?

Kagome grasped his strong biceps for support only to find they were as thick has her thighs. She quivered as she rubbed her chest up against his. Sesshoumaru's abs and pectorals trembled slightly against Kagome's soft front.

Lowering his head, Sesshoumaru nuzzled the apex in Kagome's shoulder. His hands found their was to her round bottom and let his thumbs slip beneath the lace that wrapped around her legs, letting his digits caress her flesh.

Kagome reacted by gasping again and sighed. Regaining some sense, Kagome pushed Sesshoumaru back roughly until he landed on the mattress. She pounced on top of him, attacking his mouth with a new vigour. She felt so alive, so in control for once in her life. Her tongue left her mouth and started to trace Sesshoumaru's soft lips. Groaning, Sesshoumaru opened up for her, letting their passionate kiss be controlled by his woman.

Kagome rubbed up against him in appreciation.

Sesshoumaru had enough playing and finally helped Kagome in divesting all of their clothing. Pulling back the covers, Sesshoumaru picked Kagome up and laid her down into the silk sheets and soft pillows. Leaning over her, Sesshoumaru gazed down into Kagome's burning brown eyes. He smirked at her before he leaned down. Kagome was expecting a kiss, but he stopped just short of her lips.

"My brave little tiger," Sesshoumaru purred, his hot breath tickled her face. "You initiated. Very nice. Hopefully you will be able to keep up this intense passion."

Kagome popped up and captured his lips with hers. Sesshoumaru let his hands start to travel up and down her sides, occasionally traveling up farther to massage her sensitive breasts for a while.

Sesshoumaru moved from her lips and started to shower her with hot kisses over her collar bone and across her shoulder.

"I've been thinking about this all day," Kagome admitted, threading her fingers through his long hair.

Sesshoumaru skipped and started to kiss the side of her neck.

"Oh really?" Sesshoumaru breathed as he let his right hand journey farther south.

"Mhmm," Kagome confirmed airily as Sesshoumaru touched her center. Sesshoumaru rubbed her sensitive lips for a few moments, wanting to confirm that she was ready for him. Oh yes, she was more than ready.

Sesshoumaru moved his arms up so that they were braced on with side of Kagome's chest. Using his forearms, he pushed Kagome's breasts together and buried his head into her cleavage. Breathing in her hearty aroma, Sesshoumaru kissed and relished in her scent.

"I've been wanting this for so long," Sesshoumaru confessed, although he was a bit mumbled.

"I know," Kagome sighed in response. Her small hands clasped the blankets beside her.

Removing himself from her chest, Sesshoumaru reached over to his night stand. Opening the drawer, his hand began to dig around for something. Kagome looked at him quizzically. Her breaths started coming out in short pants. Sesshoumaru moved up, his hand still searching around in the drawer, and nuzzled her neck.

Kagome giggled seductively and ran her hands over his strong shoulders and arms.

"You know what I love about missionary position?" Sesshoumaru asked as he found what he was looking for, tucked it in his hand, and closed the drawer.

Kagome shook her head.

"I get to flex for you. You seem to have some obsession with my muscles," Sesshoumaru chuckled as he flexed again, feeling Kagome shiver.

"Well, you seem to have some obsession with breasts," Kagome countered, having troubles breathing. Okay, now he was just moving his muscles on purpose!

Sesshoumaru didn't answer. Instead, he held a foil packet up so that he could look the little black writing on it; the expiration date.

"Mmm, still good," Sesshoumaru commented as he flashed Kagome a slow smile.

Kagome blushed and her heart rate increased again. Never breaking eye contact, Sesshoumaru put the top of the foil packet between his teeth and tore it open. Taking the rubber out, and throwing the foil packet to the ground, Sesshoumaru got up on his knees a bit so he could securely roll their protection in place.

Position himself over Kagome again he stared into her eyes.

"Better safe than sorry," Sesshoumaru murmured to her. Kagome nodded.

Sesshoumaru smiled down to her and bent down to kiss her softly. The kiss continued gently as Sesshoumaru began to push himself inside of the woman he began to realize was the love of his life.

Sesshoumaru tried not to make her anxious. He kept going in at the same pace, even though he wanted to plough into her ferociously. Kagome gasped at every new sensation and twisted this way and that when his cock rubbed a muscled particularly sensitive. Being so enthralled in this new experience, Kagome didn't feel any pain when Sesshoumaru finally broke through her maidenhead and settled inside of her fully.

Sesshoumaru remained still for a moment, making sure Kagome was fine. He wanted her first time to be as pleasurable as possible. Pulling back had proved to be difficult due to Kagome's tight inner muscles clamping down on him strongly. Sesshoumaru groaned.

"For the love of Kami, woman. Could you possibly get any tighter?" Sesshoumaru grunted, pulling out of her slowly.

Sesshoumaru started to push back in again, going faster this time. As if to answer his question, Kagome flexed her muscles in her lower half and Sesshoumaru let out a loud groaned.

"Fuck," he cursed loudly.

Going out on a limb, Sesshoumaru started to quicken his pace, his piston-like hips getting harder in their thrusts. Kagome started to groaned and claw at his black and shoulders.

"Oh yes," Kagome gasped. "Keep going."

Sesshoumaru smirked and leaned down to kiss Kagome fully on the lips. Faster and harder, Sesshoumaru began to hump at Kagome's cunt with more vigor, eliciting arousing moans and breathless gasping. Grasping her hips firmly, Sesshoumaru tilted them up, allowing himself to slip into her deeper.

Acting on reflex, Kagome's hips began to move with his, looking for more delicious friction.

"That's it, Kagome. Move with me," Sesshoumaru grunted softly into her ear.

Feeling the end approaching all too quickly, Sesshoumaru let his head fall down to rest on Kagome's damp shoulder. Kagome felt a weird feeling pulsing through her abdomen, a tension that needed to be broken.

"Sesshoumaru, oh please, Sesshoumaru..." Kagome begged, knowing he would be able to release the tension.

Increasing to inhuman speeds, Sesshoumaru moved within Kagome, making the tension build, and build, and build until it all blew up.

"Oh yes! Oh Sesshoumaru!" Kagome moaned as she arched off the bed and rubbed against Sesshoumaru. White hot needles seemed to have pierced her skin in the most pleasurable ways and her toes curled under in a sign of utter lack of control.

Sesshoumaru moaned loudly as well as slowly lowered himself on top of Kagome so he could ride out his orgasm comfortably.

Coming back to reality, Kagome realized Sesshoumaru's breath was uneven against her neck. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pulled him even tighter against her.

"That was so...indescribable," Kagome hummed. "Is it always like that?"

"No, Kagome. It's not," Sesshoumaru answered truthfully. Pulling back and looking down into her confused eyes, he finished answering. "It gets even better."

(~^-^)(^-^~)

The next morning found Kagome and Sesshoumaru down in the kitchen, eating a bowl of Captain Crunch.

"So what are we doing today, Gov'na?" Kagome asked, as she scooped a spoonful of the sugary cereal into her mouth. Absentmindedly, she tugged on the hem of the shirt she was wearing. It was one of Sesshoumaru's shirts that said Tokyo University across the chest.

"Well, we don't need to pick Rin up at any specific time, so I figured that you would be in a repeat performance from last night," Sesshoumaru finished and pushed his empty bowl aside.

Kagome grinned at him slyly and pushed her now empty bowl away.

"Are you trying to corrupt my innocence?" Kagome asked in mock shock.

"You were never innocent," Sesshoumaru supplied as he kissed at her neck.

Standing up from the island in the middle of the kitchen, Kagome made a mad dash for the stairs. Sesshoumaru followed, right behind her.

Kagome giggled.

"That's where you're wrong, buddy! The judge decided that I was innocent!"
