Chapter 1

Kouinu Sesshoumaru walked into the front door of his home tired and just ready to go to sleep. Another day, another business deal made. In the entry way he removed his expensive black shoes and took off his coat, hanging it in the closet above the shoe rack where his shoes now sat. He walked from the entryway into the main house, headed for the kitchen and at least a little something to eat before he settled for the night. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, grateful that the day was over and he could 'let his hair down' so to speak.

When he neared the kitchen he could hear the joyful voice of his seventeen year old daughter, Rin. She was the light of his life, so much like her mother. The woman had died giving birth to their second child. Unfortunately the child didn't live either. After that he didn't really date too much. He never wanted to bring another woman into the house to try to replace his dear Nana. Not that he didn't lust or have the occasional one night stand. After all, he was a man and he had certain needs.

Right now one of those needs involved another girl in the kitchen with Rin, her best friend Higurashi Kagome. He had lusted after the teenager ever since Rin brought her over for her sixteenth birthday party. He knew it was wrong. He was old enough to be the girl's father for crying out loud, but that didn't stop him from being attracted to her. Many a night he wondered what it would feel like to have those breasts in his face while she rode him, or her legs wrapped around his hips while he fucked her into oblivion.

He watched the two girls at the kitchen counter, giggling over something he probably didn't want to know about, eating ice cream right out of the carton. Kagome was bent over the counter, her uniform skirt riding up enough for him to catch a glimpse of a pair of red lace panties.

"Hey daddy!" Rin said, waving at him. "How was work?"

He shrugged and walked up to her, giving her a quick hug. "As usual. Are you two eating my ice cream?"

He looked between his daughter and her friend, just in time to see Kagome running her tongue over the spoon, sighing in pleasure. "Yep!" she replied, popping the 'p'. "And it' s really good."

In his head he groaned, letting his imagination take him away once again, picturing dripping the ice cream on Kagome's chest and licking it off. "Hn." He needed to get out of there before they noticed the erection that was forming. Leaving the kitchen he headed toward his bedroom to take a shower. A cold shower.

-----

Kagome looked at Rin as her father made a hasty retreat from the kitchen. "What's up with your dad? He's never a talker, but that was a little extreme."

"I have no clue." Rin shrugged her shoulders. "Brat Pitt marathon? It's Friday after all."

Kagome nodded. "Interview With The Vampire first? Quadruple whammy; Brad, Christian, Tom, and Antonio all in one shot?"

"You got it!"

Rin put the ice cream back into the refrigerator, Kagome the spoons in the sink, and the girls went up to Rin's bedroom to start their marathon of hotness.

Kagome was a little confused with Mr. Kouinu's behavior. He's always been a little on the quiet and reserved side, but ever since she had turned eighteen he had been acting a little strange. He avoided being in the same room with them for too long and sent strange looks her way when they were in the same quarters. And the looks he gave them when they decided to have their prom dates meet them at Rin's instead of at Kagome's house. He stared daggers at poor Inuyasha but she couldn't figure it out.

To be honest, she had lusted after the man ever since she was old enough to really understand what exactly unadulterated lust was. She never really took it to an extreme or anything like their friend Kagura had, but many nights she had touched herself and pretended it was his own larger hand instead of her own tiny one. Even when she and Inuyasha were intimate she imagined it was Mr. Kouinu's head in between her thighs instead of her boyfriend's. She had caught herself wanting to yell the older male's name but caught herself before it would come out. Imagining the older man was the only way she could get through it. If they were going to wait for sex then she was going to at least make the best of what she was getting.

Was he beginning to lust after her too? What would she do if he actually sought her out? She would feel weird being with Rin's father, but the man was too handsome to turn away if he approached her.

She shook the thoughts from her head as the opening credits of Interview With The Vampire began to roll across the screen, a panning shot of the city of San Francisco.

"Mr. Pibb?" Rin asked, standing at her small mini-fridge. Kagome nodded and accepted the soda from her friend as they both settled in on the bed to watch the movie full of drama and sexy men.

-----

About half way through the movie Kagome grabbed the remote control to the DVD player and paused the movie. "Potty break!" she declared and got off of the bed. She had her hand on the knob of the bathroom door when Rin's voice reached her; "Use dad's bathroom, mine is acting weird!"

Kagome let go of the knob and walked across the hall to Mr. Kouinu's bedroom and knocked on the door. She waited a moment for an answer, but didn't get one so she opened the door and walked in.

The room held an elegance that was quite fitting for the man that she lusted after. The walls were plain white, but there were a few paintings of what appeared to be large dog demons that adorned the walls. Almost everything was bare with the exception of a small lamp on the bedside table, a few pictures of Rin on the dresser next to his wallet and watch. She got closer to the dresser and inspected the items in a little more detail. A picture of Rin being held by her mother when she was a toddler, a couple of she and Rin at summer camp, a picture of the three of them when he took them to Disney last year; but what shocked her the most was the picture of herself standing under the Goshimboku at the shrine in the traditional clothing of a shrine priestess, surrounded by snow. He must have taken it on New Years. She was confused as to why he would have a picture of just her by herself, but she shook it off and decided that the urge to relieve herself was more important that why the man she thought was a god had a picture of her. Rin was her best friend, so it wasn't so odd that her dad had a picture of her was it?

Not bothering to knock, she walked into the bathroom to be faced with a very naked Mr. Kouinu, water dripping down his pale chest. She was so shocked and aroused by the site she couldn't move. Her jaw dropped.


Sesshoumaru looked up at the girl that he had just imagined sucking him off in the shower and the erection came back full force. He watched in amusement as she stood still, only moving her jaw like she was trying to figure out what exactly to say. He chuckled and moved over to where she stood, sliding a finger under her jaw and closing her mouth. "You will catch flies that way, you know. Not good for the health."

Her face turned as red as the panties he got a glimpse of earlier in the kitchen. "I...I...Rin's bathroom..." she stammered.

He put a finger to her lips. "Shhh, I know, the bathroom is busted. I need to call a plumber. Hand me that towel, will you? I'm getting the floor wet."

Almost mechanically she grabbed the towel from the toilet and got an evil thought. 'Time to see if my suspions are correct.' "How much do you want the towel, Mr. Kouinu?"

A slight grin formed on his features. 'So the kitten wants to play does she?' "To the point to where if you don't give me that towel within five seconds I'm going to throw that little skirt around your waist and rip those little red panties off of you..." He didn't get to finish his sentence when she shoved the towel into his chest and bolted out of the bathroom. Not exactly what he expected but he went with it, drying off his limbs and wrapping the towel loosely around his hips.

When he walked out of the bathroom he saw her sitting on the bed waiting. "Bathroom's free."

She bolted toward the door and shut the door.

'What the hell was I thinking?' she asked herself, followed up with that little victorious voice in the back of her head that said 'Hah! I knew he wanted me too!'

Finishing her business she washed her hands and looked in the mirror. "What if he's still out there?"

Building her courage she dried her hands and walked out the door to find Sesshoumaru setting on the bed.

"Kagome, come here," he beckoned.

Not wanting Rin to wonder what was taking so long, and not wanting to make Mr. Kouinu angry by running, she slowly approached his still nude form that was barely covered by the white towel. When she was in his reach he grabbed her hands and pulled her the rest of the way to him, standing her in between his towel covered legs. "I have something to ask you, and I don't want the nature of my question to change your views of me. I just want a simple answer, alright?"

Kagome numbly nodded.

"Can I kiss you?"

Kagome didn't know if she wanted to jump him right here and now for that question or be scared because it was her friend's father. "But..what about Rin?"

"She doesn't need to know. This can be our dirty little secret." He winked at her.

She smiled a little and carefully nodded. He reached up and grabbed her by the back of her neck and pulled her down to his lips.

He kept the kiss tame, as not to scare her, but it aroused him when she immediately took charge and deepened the kiss, slightly teasing his lips with her tongue until he opened his mouth for her.

The kiss became more heated and he pulled her onto his lap, grinding his erection into her center.

They sprang apart when there was a knock at the door. "Kagome, you done in there?"

She cleared her throat. "Yeah, I'll be there in a second!"

"Ok."

They heard the footsteps retreat and looked at each other. "Things won't be the same now will they, Mr. Kouinu?"

He shook his head. "Why don't you start by calling me Sesshoumaru when it is just you and me?"

"I think I can do that," she replied.

With one last kiss he let her go so she could continue to watch movies with his daughter.

He knew things would never be the same after today.

-----

Rin was back on the bed when Kagome returned to her bedroom, finger on the pause button ready to press play. "What took you so long, Kagome?"

'Quick, quick, think....I was making out with your dad, who was almost completely naked! No...Think....'"My stomach has been bugging me. I think I ate too much ice cream." 'Good save.'

"Oh, no!" Rin cried. "You can't be sick for the marathon!" She jumped off of the bed and left the room, leaving Kagome a little confused until she heard yelling.

"Dad! Kagome's sick!"

'Oh, hell.'

Rin came back in the room with her dad, who was now wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. "Kagome, do you feel alright?"

Her face flushed red at the sight of him.

"Let's see if you are running fever," he said approaching her. He placed a gentle hand on her forehead. "You do feel rather warm." When he pulled his hand away he lightly caressed her cheek, though Rin never took any notice.

"Does that mean you want to go home, Kagome?" she asked.

She looked at the concerned face of her friend, and then the faux concern on the face of Sesshoumaru. He knew exactly what was wrong when he saw the flush of her face.

"Rin, go get Kagome a cup of tea, I'll find her some pajamas to wear for the night."

"But I never said I was going to stay."

"You look like you just need to lay down and rest. The two of you planned a movie marathon?"

She nodded her head.

He looked to his daughter. She nodded and left the room to get what he requested. "So the kitten is flustered?" he said with a grin. Kagome was still blushing furiously and he chuckled. "Let me find you something to sleep in." He kissed her on the nose and left the room.

Shortly after he left he returned with a pair of his boxers and a big t-shirt and handed them to her. Kagome went to the bathroom that was connected to Rin's bedroom so she could get enough privacy to change. "I could have just borrowed some of Rin's pajamas to wear, you know."

He just laughed. "Your excuse will be comfort, at least as far as my daughter is concerned. My excuse? I wanted to see you in my clothes." He wasn't expecting to be pelted in the face with her uniform skirt and panties. "And I'll be keeping this little trinket," he said, waving her panties on his finger like a little flag.

Kagome walked out of the bathroom, fully dressed a scowl firmly in place. "But what will I wear with the matching bra? I paid a lot for that set you know."

He smirked. "How about going without?"

"You know how short those uniform skirts are! What if I drop my pencil? Or trip? Or...or...a nice big gust of wind comes along, and WOOSH!" She threw her hands up in the air. "Everyone gets to see my whole mmph..."

Sesshoumaru silenced her by smashing his lips to hers in a fierce kiss. It ended just as quickly as it started, leaving Kagome successfully silence and quite flushed. "When you agreed to that kiss earlier you agreed that you are mine now. If anyone sees your world, it will be me.

While she stood there stunned he walked over to the bed and pulled down the covers. When she stood there and looked at him like he was an idiot he grabbed her hand and pulled her to him, picking her up and depositing her onto the bed, pulling the blankets up to her chin.

"Are you sure staying here is a wise idea, Sesshoumaru?"

"Very." He sat down on the edge of the bed and waited for his daughter to bring back the tea that he had requested.

Chapter 2

Two weeks had passed since that fateful kiss. Now Kagome spent even more time over at Rin's than usual, which Rin found quite strange but just went with it and enjoyed spending the time with her best friend. They didn't get to see each other in school very much, just in a couple of classes a day and at lunch, so all of the extra time together was awesome.

Whenever he was home with his daughter and her best friend Sesshoumaru made any excuse he could find to get himself alone with Kagome, usually ending up getting into a hot and heavy make out session that always ended with an interruption of some sort before they went too far. Thank gods it was never Rin, it was always a telephone or an email notification since their new favorite location was his home office.

Tonight there were three more girls staying over with Rin and Kagome. They had a large project for their law class coming up before graduation and had the last two months of the school year to get it done. Fortunately for them their group was larger than the others that contained some of the smartest girls in school. Ayumi was very quick to point out that she was number three in the standings of GPA, Kagura even quicker to jump up and side up against him telling him that she was number two. Through the entire display he kept his eyes on Kagome, who just rolled her eyes at their blatant lust for the older man. Sesshoumaru was proud of the restraint she displayed even though there was fire burning brightly in her large brown eyes.

He decided that this had to be taken care of now. "How does pizza sound, girls?" Immediately all five girls nodded at the mention of one of their favorite foods. "A friend of mine owns a shop, best pizza in town. Kagome, would you like to join me?" He heard the groans from the other three girls in the room as Kagome stood to join him.

"Hey Rin," she said, trying to ignore the others who were staring daggers. "Want me to tell Kohaku to call when his shift ends?" She grinned as Rin blushed and nodded slightly. She and Kohaku had been crushing on each other since as long as Kagome knew. It finally took a lot of coaxing between Kagome and Kohaku's sister Sango to finally push the two together, though they were still very bashful when it came to their budding relationship. Kagome was overjoyed to see her friend so happy.

"We will be back in about thirty minutes," Sesshoumaru announced, grabbing Kagome by the wrist and pulling her out of the dining room that had been converted to 'legal central' for the time they were working on the project.

Neither of them spoke until they were both seated comfortably in Sesshoumaru's Mitsubishi and pulling out of the drive. "Thanks for getting me away from those girls," Kagome said with a sigh of relief. "They are all great, but I don't like the way Kagura stares at you."

Sesshoumaru laughed. "Kitten's a little possessive?"

She looked over at him. "Very."

He slowed the car to stop at a stop light, then grabbed her hand. "Good, so am I."

The ride was silent once again. It was comfortable though, only really broken when they were at stop lights and he would lean over and steal kisses, then get honked at by the angry driver behind them when neither of them noticed the light change and traffic moved.

Staring out the window Kagome watched as they passed right by the pizza place and looked at him with questioning eyes.

"I'll call in the order, right now I want to enjoy having you alone."

Her teenage heart swooned at the idea that this man wanted to be with just her right now. Soon they pulled into an alleyway and behind a building. "My father owns this building, this is where I work." Pulling into a parking place he stopped the car and unbuckled his seat belt, watching as she did the same. For a moment they just looked at one another before he pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Kohaku? This is Sesshoumaru, Rin's father. I need four pizzas, three cheese one with pineapple. Oh? Alright, if it's Rin's new favorite make it two cheese, one pineapple, and one bacon. I'll be by in about thirty." He snapped the phone shut.

"So what do you want to do for the next half hour?" Kagome asked with a gleam in her eye. She knew full well what would happen, but it was part of the little game they played.

"Hmm.." He scratched his chin in mock contemplation. "How about you get over here into my lap and we can see what pops up?"

She laughed and shook her head. "Could you be any more cliche?"

"Could you get over here and give me a refresher course on the last time we were in a vehicle together?"

Without a second thought Kagome was in his lap kissing him, enjoying his hands all over her body. She got more and more excited with every little kiss and nip, grinding herself into his groin to let him know.

His hands made their way under her small skirt and he groaned when he found out she wore no panties. "What did I tell you about only me?" he growled.

"I snuck them off when I got to your house, so it is only for you."

Pleased with her answer his hands moved from her backside to her hips, one of them trailing down her thigh and to one of his favorite places. He was even more pleased that she was wet for him, even more so than usual. "If you get this hot from being outside my workplace I can only imagine bending you over my desk and taking you there on my lunch hour."

She broke away from his neck and moaned, grinding herself into his hand, wanting him to do more than just tease her.

Never one to hesitate he began to explore, relishing in the feel of the wetness that he caused. He teased the sensitive nub hidden in her feminine folds making her squirm in his arms. Her kisses became more harsh, he could tell she was close. Not bothering to consider if she was a virgin or not he slid two fingers into her, stopping when she tensed. "No one has done this to you before, have they?" She shook her head. "Then I will be the only one to have this privilege." When she started to squirm again he began to move his fingers, wishing it wasn't his fingers that were buried inside of her.

When he touched a particularly sensitive spot she broke her mouth from his. "Sess...so close..."

He smiled and bit her neck hard enough to leave a mark and then soothed it with his tongue. "Then come for me," he whispered. He moved his fingers faster, enjoying her moans and pants. "Come for me, Kagome..." he repeated. On a whim he pulled his fingers out completely before he added a third finger, stretching her beyond what she had ever managed to do by herself.

The sensation of being stretched was slightly painful and sent her over the edge. She buried her face into his neck as she found her release, wondering what it would be like if it wasn't his fingers buried inside of her but something else.

He waited for her to calm down before he pulled his hand away from her and made a great show of licking his fingers. "I may skip the pizza and steal you away for dinner." Kagome blushed at what he was implying and moved back over to her seat.

She looked down into his lap and blushed more. His usual black slacks were wet from where she sat on him and the spot was starting to turn white as it dried. Not to mention the erection he was now sporting. "Um..." she started, "What about you?"

"We will save that for another day, kitten," he replied. He leaned over to whisper, "Not that I don't want your mouth on me, but I want to be inside of you when I come."

His admission made her blush even harder than she already was. Distracted, she never noticed when he reached back into the back seat and pulled out his gym bag and changed into a pair of jeans that were tucked inside. He buckled his seat belt and started the car. "Buckle up, kitten. We get pulled over for you not wearing your seat belt and I will have to punish you."

Close to an hour later they pulled into the driveway. He carried the pizzas in while Kagome followed weakly. When the arrived at the pizza place the food wasn't done yet so they went back out to the car and he made her come all over his hands two more times, never once complaining about the erection that was beginning to cause him discomfort.

"About time you two got back!" Rin said as they walked into 'legal central' with the food. "I was beginning to think you got lost!"

Ayumi, Kagura, and Yuka eyed Kagome, who still sported a slight flush on her cheeks. "Are you alright, Kagome?" Kagura asked. "You look like you are a bit flushed."

Kagome stumbled for an answer but Sesshoumaru took the blame. "She got a little car sick."

Picking up on the story Kagome nodded her head. "Yeah, I don't see how you can ride with him, Rin! Your dad drives like a maniac!" She sat in the chair next to Kagura.

Rin just laughed. "After seventeen years of it I've gotten used to it. I think of it as a roller coaster!"

Kagura leaned over towards Kagome. "I think it riding him that has you flushed, not riding with him," she whispered.

"Well, let's eat!" Kagome said brightly, effectively changing the subject for the time being.

Kagura still suspected something, and she wasn't going to leave tonight without getting to the bottom of it.

-----

Putting together the project had gone very well once they decided what job each girl would have. The hour grew so late while they were working that it was decided, much to Kagome's displeasure, that all of the girls would be staying the night instead of just herself. It would make it harder to sneak out to see Sesshoumaru in the middle of the night like she had grown accustomed to doing when she spent the night. They wouldn't do anything she wasn't ready for. Usually they lay in bed and talked, sometimes just slept; but she always got up and back into Rin's room before the other girl ever woke up and suspected anything.

With all five girls in Rin's room they had to figure out exactly how they were going to sleep. The room was too small for them all to fit in there comfortably so Sesshoumaru decided that two of them would take the guest room. Ayumi and Yuka took the guest room happily, they were usually attached at the hip already so it wasn't anything new for them. Kagura was already passed out on Rin's bed, so that was settled. Rin felt bad that Kagome was stuck with the floor and offered to sleep there but Kagome assured her that she would be fine on the couch. It wouldn't be the first time she had fallen asleep out there. It made Rin happy for the time being and they all got ready for bed. Going into the closet Kagome grabbed the boxers and shirt of Sesshoumaru's that had become her sleep wear when she stayed.

Kagome sat in the living room, waiting for one of the bathrooms to become free for her to change. Sesshoumaru appeared behind her. "Use my room, if you want." She nodded and walked the short distance to his room and tried to shut the door but it stopped with a good clunk. Apparently Sesshoumaru was following for a free show and just got hit with the door.

"Oh, god, I'm so sorry!" she gasped.

He only laughed it off and shut the door, locking it. "You know, that pizza didn't satisfy my palate tonight," he said casually.

"Oh, it didn't?" she replied, immediately playing along.

He shook his head. "Not at all. I had a taste for something else more...sweet and tangy."

"But isn't that the point of fruit on your pizza? Sweet from fruit and tangy from the sauce?"

He stopped his advance. "You've got me there. I never thought of it that way." The both of them laughed. "Right now I want something a little tastier than pizza."

Without a second thought he tackled her onto the bed, his hand finding it's way back under her skirt and teasing her. "Will you always be this wet for me?"

"Will you ever tire of me?"

"Will you?"

She silenced him with a kiss, a bit more passionate than the other kisses that seemed like they would die if they didn't have each other.

Sesshoumaru moved from her mouth down her jaw. He helped her sit and pulled off her top, pleased to see she wore no bra as well. Kissing her now exposed breasts he continued to tease her opening with his fingers, making her growl in frustration. He moved lower at an excruciatingly slow pace until he finally reached her skirt and unzipped it, pulling it off of her leaving her in only her socks.

He leaned back to look at her and she clamped her legs closed. "Don't be afraid, kitten. I just want to taste you..." She let her legs to a little, but tensed again when he tried to spread her knees apart. "Am I the first?"

She shook her head. "You are just so much more experienced. I'm nervous. I imagine it is you when I'm with my boyfriend."

He cocked his head to the side. "Do you?"

She nodded her head shyly.

He slowly moved her legs apart and got his first peek of his prize. Not completely shaven, trimmed. He would have to take her to get waxed. He ran his tongue along the inside of her thighs, around her folds, always intentionally avoiding what he knew would give her great pleasure. He wanted to draw this out as long as he possibly could.

Kagome laced her fingers into his hair, trying to guide his head to where she wanted his mouth to be. She growled when he was intentionally avoiding it, like he was trying to make her beg. "Sesshoumaru...." she moaned. "Quit playing around!"

"Who said I am playing around, kitten?" He gave her a good lick, dipping his tongue into her opening.

At the contact she moaned and pushed his head back down. "I may be young, but I still know what I want. And I want to come, hard."

"All over my face," he added, licking her again.

"Yeah, that too," she gasped.

Kagome threw her head back to the bed when he gave up teasing her and started licking and nipping exactly where she wanted to, leaving no place untouched with his hot tongue. One of his hands dropped from her thigh and moved to aid his tongue, slipping inside of her.

His tongue flicking her clit and his fingers thrusting into her she felt like she was going to lose it at any moment. This was a million times better than what she had ever experienced with Inuyasha. She moved her hips in time with his fingers, nearly losing it when he added a third like he did earlier. This time it wasn't as painful as it was pleasurable. "Harder," she moaned.

He granted her request, thrusting his fingers into her harder and moving his tongue faster. He felt her muscles begin to ripple around his fingers letting him know she was close to release. Taking another chance he bit her and was rewarded with her release. He pulled his fingers out of her and replaced them with his tongue, trying to draw out as much of her essence as he could.

Sesshoumaru lay his head on her stomach when she finally came down from her high. Her hands were still in his hair, massaging his scalp.

"Wow." After this she wasn't sure if she would be able to let Inuyasha even attempt to pleasure her again. It wouldn't be as good, so there wasn't any real point.

"I have found a new addiction," he said, going back for more of her.

"No!" she lightly squealed and scooted back farther onto the bed. He just laughed at her.

"Get under the blankets. I'll tell Rin that I will be sleeping on the couch so you can have my bed. I'll be back after I am sure they are asleep."

She slid under the blankets, not bothering to put on her clothes, and got comfortable. When she was no longer exposed Sesshoumaru left the room, but not before winking at her one last time.

She settled back against the pillows and turned on the lamp, adding to the light glow from the bathroom light. Next to the lamp sat a copy of "The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde". There was no television in here, she wasn't going to risk one of her friends walking in on her masturbating, so the book was her last option at the moment.

Two short stories later he crept back into the room. She looked up from her book to see him leaning on the door smiling at her. "The kids are in bed, darling," he joked. She just rolled her eyes and put the book back onto the bedside table next to the lamp and pulled the covers back as if she was inviting him to join her.

He took no time in shedding his clothes and getting into bed with her and pulling her close. "Does it ever feel like a dream?" she asked.

He took a moment to think. Never in his life did he ever consider that his daughter's cute friend ever take interest in him because of the age gap. "Always," he replied as he leaned down to kiss her. This time it was different from the other times that they snuck around to steal kisses. This was slow, nothing too passionate, teasing. She pulled back a bit when she felt his length press against her thighs.

"Sesshoumaru, I don't think I'm ready for that," she said, looking down like she had disappointed him.

He brought her face back up to his for another kiss. "That's alright, kitten. I'll wait as long as you need."

"Are you sure? What about you? Doesn't getting yourself off get a little old?"

His gold eyes softened. "It does get old, but I have a feeling that you are worth it, even though this is just our dirty little secret."

She gripped him and moved her hand up and down his length, running her thumb over the head. Looking at him one more time she started to move down, under the cover of the blankets.

He grabbed her shoulder and stopped her. "Kagome, you don't have to."

She shook her head. "I want to." To be honest, she had no clue what to do. She refused to do this with Inuyasha since she always had this sneaking suspicion that he was sleeping with her cousin on the side. So what was the point of giving him pleasure if he was just going to turn back around and nail Kikyo behind her back?

Timidly she licked the head, tasting the salty bitterness. She focused her eyes back up on him when he groaned. Growing a little more courage she licked him a few more times before taking him completely into her mouth. His grunts and his fingers in her hair encouraged her, making her want to give the man beneath her as much pleasure as he had given her. She tried to take more of him into her mouth but found he was too large and gagged. Pulling back she started to use her hands to pleasure what she couldn't with her mouth.

Sesshoumaru had thrown the blanket off so he could watch her. He was sure it was her first time from the way she was a little shy but she was going off of his moans and small instructions and now sucking him off like she was a pro. He just hoped he didn't wake up the rest of the house.

He knew he wouldn't be able to last much longer. The vision of her with him in her mouth, just like he had imagined so many times over the years, was enough to get him to the point of no return. He tried his hardest to hold back, but all was lost when he felt her lightly tug on his balls. There was no time for warning as he spilt himself into her mouth.

Kagome's eyes widened when she felt his bitter seed on her tongue. Rather than jerk away she swallowed the best she could even though some of it dribbled down the sides of her mouth. After he had stopped thrusting toward her mouth she let him go and wiped her mouth off with the back of her hand. "Did I do ok?"

"More than ok." He dragged her back up his body and kissed her. Tasting himself on her tongue was enough of a turn on to make him hard again. He pulled her down to his side, tucking her body into his. "Let's get some sleep. We still have forever to give pleasure."

One last little peck and Kagome lay her head on his chest, he wrapped his arms around her small form.

Kagome had always wondered what it would feel like to sleep in the same bed with a man, and she had to admit that she would miss sleeping alone in her own bed when she went home.

About 2AM Kagura woke up when she felt a rumbling in her stomach. She looked up to see the room was dark, Rin was asleep next to her snoring lightly. 'Wait, I why is it Rin next to me and not her hot dad?'

Giving up on thinking she got out of the bed as quietly as possible. She and Rin weren't the best of friends, but that didn't mean she wanted to interrupt the girl's sleep just because of her high metabolism and hunger.

She crept out of the bedroom and silently shut the door behind her. Once out in the hall she heard a masculine moaning coming from Mr. Kouinu's bedroom. 'When did he manage to sneak a lover in without me seeing it?' She just shrugged her shoulders and walked down the hallway, ignoring the jealousy caused by the man of her dreams having a woman in his bed that wasn't her.

"Mmmm...fuck...just like that..." She tried to ignore the voice from his room and continued on her quest.

Bypassing the living room she went into the kitchen and grabbed one of the last pieces of pizza from the box on the counter and threw it into the microwave. Stopping it just before the timer beeped she started munching on her snack. She went back to the doorway into the living room to look and see if Kagome had gone to sleep yet. If not, she wanted someone to talk to. She knew Kagome battled with insomnia at times just as she did and it was some pretty useful knowledge that came in handy when friends had slumber parties or when she couldn't sleep and wanted someone to call in the middle of the night.

The shock was barely contained when there was no Kagome on the couch. Two and two started to come together. Grunts from Mr. Kouinu's room, no Kagome on the couch, the long time it took to get a simple order of pizza that evening, Kagome flushed after their return. The jealousy quickly turned to anger, and then to understanding. Mr. Kouinu was the closest thing she had ever seen to a god, it was perfectly understandable that Kagome should lust after him; especially since she spent so much time in the Kouinu household with Rin.

Finishing off her pizza she went back up to Rin's bedroom and got back in bed just as quietly as she had left. She would have a talk with Kagome tomorrow, to see if he was any good more than anything else.

-----


The next morning Kagome woke up alone in Sesshoumaru's bed. Looking over at the clock she realized that she had slept until almost noon. She threw off the blankets only to come to another realization; she was still naked. Feeling a little awkward she shuffled around for her clothing that never got put on after Sesshoumaru came in the room and thoroughly distracted her. Just as she slipped the shirt over her head and pulled it down Kagura barged into the room and slammed the door.

"Explain yourself, missy," she demanded.

Kagome looked at her, feigning confusion. "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" Kagura hissed, "What happened between you and Mr. Kouinu last night?"

She tried her best not to look guilty. "Nothing happened last night," she said, hoping that Kagura would buy it.

"I heard something! When I got up to get something to eat!"

"Maybe he was watching porn or something!" she insisted.

Kagura raised an eyebrow. "On what TV?" She gestured to the bedroom that clearly did not contain a television.

"Ummm....ummm..." She had to think and she had to think quick. It wasn't like she could tell the girl. If it got back to Sesshoumaru he would call everything off and she would be semi alone again; not like being with Inuyasha was very satisfying. "Umm.."

"Was he good?"

"Oh, god yes," Kagome spouted without thinking.

Kagura pointed an accusing finger at her. "Hah! I knew it!"

Kagome blanched. "You won't tell anyone will you?"

The other girl just laughed at her. "Don't worry about it. I'm jealous as hell, but I'll live. How big is he??" She pulled her friend to the bed for girl talk.

"Well, too big to fit the entire thing into my mouth..."

They continued their quiet girl talk until there was a knock on the door. Rin popped her head inside. "Are you two having girl talk about Inuyasha?"

Going with it even though Rin's suggestion was totally off mark Kagura nodded her head. "Yep, Kagome said he is huge!"

"I so did not want to hear that! Anyway, dad's got breakfast ready." The three girls walked out of the bedroom and to the kitchen, following the smells of blueberry pancakes on the stove and rice in the steamer.

Ayumi and Yuka were at the table with a stack of pancakes in front of them already and chatting away and Sesshoumaru stood at the stove over a skillet with more of the sweet breakfast food cooking.

"Morning, Kagome!" Yuka said.

"Sleep well on the couch?" Ayumi asked.

"Kagome was in dad's bed last night," Rin announced. Sesshomaru dropped his spatula into the pan, throwing hot oil back at him. "Dad? Are you alright?"

Coming to his senses he grabbed the spatula and wiped off the handle. "I'm fine. Did you sleep well, Kagome? I shopped for almost three weeks trying to find the perfect bed."

"It was great," she said brightly, knowing only he knew what she was referring to. "If only I could sleep in such comfort back home!"

She and Rin joined Kagura, Ayumi, and Yuka at the table while Sesshoumaru placed the pancake that was in the skillet onto a plate. "My daughter and Kagura have already placed their orders, so you are the only one left. Rice and miso or pancakes, Kagome?"

"Rice and miso," she said without a thought. That was the normal breakfast at her own home. "So, who's staying to work on the project?" The rest of the girls at the table all threw in their affirmations that they would indeed stay. "We need to figure out the best way to tackle this beast in the best way possible."

Chapter 3

Kagome sat alone in her room that night, tired from the day's events. Today was her mother's forty-second birthday and she spent the day with her mother, grandfather, and little brother out shopping. Her grandfather came to the conclusion that she didn't get spoiled enough since she spent all of her time trying her hardest to take care of her children and wanted to give her a day of pampering. Souta complained at first, but Kagome quickly shut him up. It wasn't very often that they saw their mother with such a joyful look on her face, but after they left the mall her smile was blinding. She had a good time that day, and the bags that her kids and father-in-law were a testament to that.

When they arrived home she and Kagome holed themselves up in her room, having mother/daughter talks and enjoying each other's company.

"My mother and I didn't have a relationship like this," she said, buffing Kagome's nails in preparation for a coat of paint. "That is why I want us to be as close as we can. You can always come to me with anything."

"Thanks mom. I feel bad that Rin doesn't have a mother to come to if she has any problems," Kagome replied.

Mrs. Higurashi nodded. "Tell her if she ever has any problems she can come to me. Rin is a darling girl."

Silence filled the room. Kagome pondered how exactly Rin felt about losing her mother, and if it was the same feelings she had after losing her father.

Her mother broke the silence. "How are things doing with you and Inuyasha? Are there any violet eyed grandchildren in my future?"

"Mom!" Kagome groaned.

"What? Can't a woman dream?"

"Dreams may be all you have since I found him with Kikyo three weeks ago before Souta's party having sex in his car."

Her mother patted her hand. "Don't worry about it, dear. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. What about that Miroku boy? You know, that friend of your grandpa's friend's son. You two would make a handsome pair."

"But he's like twenty five!"

"I was only eighteen when I met your father and he was thirty. We fell in love and had two beautiful children!"

"But-" Kagome was flustered. She couldn't tell her mother about Sesshoumaru. Kagura knew, but she knew that she wouldn't say anything. After a brief scare with her cousin Naraku stalking her, she and Kagura had a bit of an understanding. They would help each other if needed, but otherwise they stay out of each other's way.

"Alright, dear. Just one day before I die I would like to have grandchildren from you!"

----


Kagome was woken up by a ringing phone. She grabbed it off of the bedside table, somehow managing not to knock over everything on the tabletop in the process, and answered it. There was only one person who would be calling the phone, the only person who had the number, the one that bought it for her.

"Couldn't sleep?" she answered.

"Not without you," the voice on the other end replied.

She smiled at the thought. Over the past few weeks she had been staying at Rin's more and more because of working on the project. The only reason she wasn't there tonight was because of her mother's birthday. She didn't mind spending the time with her family, she just wanted to spend time with her lover too. She wanted to call him a boyfriend, especially since she broke up with Inuyasha when she found him fucking her cousin in his car that was the last straw. It was clear that he didn't want to wait for her as far as sex went, just wanted to get it where he could since she refused to let him take her virginity. But Sesshoumaru and boyfriend didn't really add up. All in all, just like he had said after their first encounter, he was her dirty little secret.

"I miss you at my side," he said, his smooth voice breaking through her thoughts.

"I thought this was only a dirty little secret," she commented.

"It is, but that doesn't mean I can't miss my dirty little secret," he replied. "I need you."

"I miss my dirty little secret too."

"How was your day with your mother?"

Kagome rolled over on to her back. "Not bad. She thinks she is getting old and is demanding grandchildren."

He laughed. "I would be glad to assist, but I don't think that the world would look too kindly on the relationship that we have."

"I don't think Rin would look too kindly on the relationship we have!"

"You are very right. But I think it is time I did something for myself. Everything I have done since her mother died has been for her. I have never brought another woman into the house, I very rarely date, and now that I've found someone that appeals to me, I'm going to hold on."

"What are we going to do if she finds out?"

"We will deal with that when the time comes. Did you buy anything for yourself when you went out with your mother?"

"A few things. A pair of ear rings, a new pair of shoes, and a game for Souta. Mom looked at me odd when she saw me buying all of it. Probably wondered where I got the money from."

"Tell her that you have been working for me after school. If you want you can stand in as my secretary after school when Yura goes on vacation."

"That would at least make it believable. It's not everyday that a young girl goes into a jewelry store and pays almost three hundred dollars for a pair of ear rings. Mom didn't see me buy those though. Just the boots."

"Boots?"

"It's a surprise!"

"It's a good thing that I like surprises."

"I can't get comfortable in bed by myself."

"Rin is spending the weekend with her grandmother, and you are going to tell your mother that you will be going with her," he said in a demanding tone.

"Oh I am, am I?"

"Yes, and you will be spending the time with me for a weekend full of debauchery."

"Shouldn't we be having sex first before we can call it a weekend full of debauchery?"

"Why don't we change that?"

She laughed. "You are so full of it."

"I want you to be full of me," he replied.

Kagome rolled her eyes. "I'll be there. I wouldn't miss the chance to spend the weekend in your bed."

"Good. I will come get you from school on Friday since Rin will be leaving at around noon."

"I'll see you then. Goodnight." I love you.

"Until then. Goodnight, Kitten."

-----


That Friday after classes Kagome stood outside of the school's gates by herself, awaiting her dirty little secret to pick her up in his black Mitsubishi that she had started to associate with lots of things that had nothing to do with driving. She got a few strange looks for standing there with her school bag and a suitcase, but she ignored them all knowing that this weekend would be special, the first they had gotten to spend together alone since they started their little affair.

She only had to wait ten minutes before the car pulled up in front of her and the trunk popped. She went over to the open trunk and put her suitcase and bag in the back before going to the passenger side of the car and sliding in.

"Where to, little girl?" Sesshoumaru asked, a wry grin on his face.

"Anywhere but here," she replied.

After she buckled her seat belt he hit the gas, speeding off in the direction of his home. "Rin is already with her grandmother, so you don't have to worry about her asking questions."

Like their normal car rides, this one was silent save for a few questions about how their day was and a few stolen kisses at stoplights. When they arrived at his home he popped the trunk and got her bag and suitcase out. "What did you do, woman, pack for a week?"

Kagome just shrugged her shoulders. "You are the parent of a teenage daughter, of all people you should know that teen girls do not pack light."

He hesitated for a moment when she said teen girl, especially since her age didn't ever really come to mind when they were together. She did a lot of things that normal teenage girls did, but she acted older in a lot of ways. The sudden reminder of the age gap was a cold slap to the face, but he was determined to not let it ruin his weekend with her.

She followed him into the house and to his room, where she began to unpack her bag. A few weeks ago he decided that she would have a drawer in his dresser and a small space in his closet so she put away her belongings in the spots where he had made room for her. After everything was in it's respective places she looked around the room. It almost looked like she lived there. She had her own drawer, she had a few dresses he had gotten for her hanging in the open closet, her perfume was on the top of the dresser next to his cologne, her earrings that she had gotten were sitting on next to his watch and cufflinks. The only thing that was missing was a copy of The Great Gatsby on the other bedside table, matching whatever book he had on his bedside table and her toiletries in the bathroom.

She turned to the door when she heard it open. Sesshoumaru stood there smiling at her. In three steps he scaled the area between them and embraced her. Kagome snuggled into his embrace and inhaled the scent of his cologne. "We will be going out to dinner tonight," he said, his voice a low rumble in his chest. "Start getting ready since we want to be there a bit early, that way we can get back and make the most of this weekend." He kissed her lightly and let her go, moving toward the closet. "Please wear the red dress I got for you." He grabbed a pair of black slacks with a plain white dress shirt, all designer as Kagome quickly found out when he presented her with a small stack of designer dresses on her last visit. Laying his choices out on the bed he looked at her with a sly grin. "Want to get a shower?"

Kagome stopped and looked at him. "Together?" That was something they hadn't ventured into yet. They had been intimate many times since the first kiss, laid around his bedroom naked on the days she would skip school to be with him, even stripped for him once on a whim, but they had never taken anything back to the room where it had all started when she walked in on him that day.

"Yes, together," he said with a nod and laugh. "We have this whole house to ourselves, the whole weekend, and I think we should take advantage of it. The next few weeks will be very busy for you and Rin with graduation coming up so I don't know when we will have this chance again."

She thought for a moment and realized he was right. Everything was just starting to pick up at school and she knew she wouldn't have another opportunity like this until after graduation when Rin went off to college in Kyoto. She still didn't know what she was going to do. Rin wanted her to go to the same school, but then Kagome wanted to go to Tokyo U so she could be close to her family. Maybe she would be able to talk Rin into staying in the city. That was something she would ponder another day. Right now there were more important matters at hand, like the naked man that stood in front of her that had managed to take off his clothes while she was lost in thought.

"You coming, kitten?" he said over his shoulder, already at the bathroom door.

Throwing caution to the wind Kagome pulled off her school uniform and dropped it into the hamper in the closet on top of his suit that he had worn to work. When she walked into the bathroom the water was already going and the mirrors covered in condensation. She walked up to the glass door and slid it open, stepping into the shower with Sesshoumaru.

"About time." He stepped out of the spray to let her get wet. The warm water felt great, relaxing her nerves and tense muscles. She felt his arms snake around her and his chest on her back and relaxed into his embrace. "For dinner I made reservations at Shibuya. All Kyoto-style cuisine. It's a place I go when I miss my mother's cooking."

"I never knew you were from Kyoto," she commented. He stepped away from her and she almost whimpered at the loss of his touch but was soon moaning in pleasure as she felt his hands massaging her scalp, washing her hair.

He laughed. "There are still many things you don't know about me."

She leaned back into his touch, enjoying the feeling of someone other than herself and her hair dresser washing her hair. "Many things that I plan to find out," she said, even though it came out more of a moan. She growled when she felt his hands move away.

"Time to rinse, kitten."

She leaned back into the spray of the shower to rinse her hair. When she opened her eyes again she saw the hungry look that was on Sesshoumaru's face and leaned up to kiss him, but pouted when she was pushed away. "If you even start that we will never get to the restaurant," he chided. "Our reservation is for 7:45. We can have all of the fun we want later tonight."

She pouted and nodded. "I was trying to make the best of this shower."

"We have the whole weekend to make the best of the shower. There are many things I want to teach you."

"Good thing I am a quick learner!"

"That you are, my dear, that you are."

-----

The restaurant was wonderful. Kagome instantly fell in love with the simple decor of neutral colors. She was shocked to find that all of the tofu was made in house and the vegetables actually shipped in from Kyoto. Sesshoumaru had insisted on getting kaiseki, though Kagome didn't think she would be able to survive through the multi-course meal.

Along with their meal Sesshoumaru ordered the most expensive sake on the menu. She was shocked at how much the man was spending on what was supposed to be a simple dinner, but then again he had also been giving her money to pamper herself and buying her expensive clothing for the few outings that they had been able to sneak away and have.

"I'm glad you are enjoying yourself," he commented somewhere between the second and third course. "Even Rin doesn't like traditional food as much now that fast food restaurants have taken over."

Kagome laughed. "I live with my grandfather, who is traditional from the way he dresses down to the way he asks mom to clean, it's all I have ever really eaten. I like WacDonalds on occasion, though."

Sesshoumaru figured so much. She was, after all, a teenage girl; and what teenage girl didn't love a good cheeseburger and fries with a milkshake? "So the restaurant pleases you?"

"Very much!" she said with a smile.

"Well, when we get home we can see what else we can find that will please the kitten." He grinned at her with a certain gleam in his eyes that Kagome knew he wasn't talking about anything even near food. The idea sent a shiver down her spine.

The rest of the meal went well, with him dropping innuendo whenever he could just to make her blush. When the bill came Kagome almost fell over. "100,000 yen? Isn't that a little excessive, Sesshoumaru?"

"Nothing is too excessive when it comes to my kitten."

She let the subject drop, though she wanted to know why he called her kitten. She never questioned it since she loved the idea that he had given her a pet name that she would only ever hear coming from his lips.

On the drive home her curiosity got the best of her. "Sesshoumaru?"

"Yes, love?"

"Why do you call me kitten?"

A deep laugh filled the car. "You are cute and innocent, but I can tell when you get angry you will not hesitate to use your claws."

-----

"How is your father, dear?" Kouinu Kimiko asked her granddaughter.

Rin smiled at the mention of her father. "He is doing great! Grandfather just gave him a bonus at work for all of the hard time he put in on the Watanabe account and he's agreed to take me and my friend Kagome to Osaka on vacation before fall semester starts!

Kimiko smiled. "I always knew your father would get far professionally. He has worked so hard to make your life as perfect as possible since your mother passed." Her smile faded at the thought of losing Ai. She was a lovely woman and completed Sesshoumaru, transforming him from hard businessman to a person who would show his feelings and love with all of his being. His life sat right in front of her right now, Rin was Sesshoumaru's life.

"Dad has done the best he could, grandmother. Life couldn't be better." She took a sip of her tea. "I wish dad would get out a little more though. I'm going to college next fall and I don't want dad to be lonely when I move out."

Her grandmother laughed, the same resonating laugh that her son had. "I think I have a few friends with single daughters..." she hinted.

"Just don't push him into anything, ok. If he's not ready to date yet it's his own problem."

"Speaking of dating, your father has mentioned a young man by the name of Kohaku." Her smile widened as her granddaughter blushed deeply, and she knew that she was in love.

"Yeah, he's..." Rin tried to find the words to describe him.

"Dreamy?" Kimiko supplied.

"1950's much, grandma?" Rin giggled.

"Hey, I'm not that old!"

-----

Sesshoumaru woke up about three in the morning, curled around Kagome's small body. When they arrived home from the restaurant he showed her how much fun the shower could be, going down on her until her knees were weak. They moved to the bedroom shortly after drying each other off where she proceeded to make his knees weak by giving him a little refresher course on how much she had learned about pleasing him. He had gotten head from many women, but she showed no shyness any more and seemed to throw caution and decency to the wind when she pleasured him and making him have orgasms like he had never had since his wife was still alive.

He was beginning to develop deep feelings towards the girl, something he didn't want at first. Truthfully he had intended to keep her around for a little while to get the lust out of his system but he had found her to be great company. He could easily talk to her about almost anything. One day he had broken down and told her about his wife; instead of getting angry like any other woman would she held him and cried with him while he cried, laughed with him when he told her about the more humorous moments they shared.

It was becoming hard to keep his hands off of her when his daughter was around. As far as he knew Kagura was the only one that knew, only because she cornered him not too long after he was first intimate with Kagome and threatened to kill him if he ever hurt her friend. He only wished things were different; he wanted to parade her around and let everyone know that the feisty girl was his and his alone.

He brushed away some stray hair away from her face and took in her sleeping form. It was times like this he felt at peace. He didn't care that she was his daughter's best friend, he didn't care about the eighteen year age gap, he didn't care that she wasn't ready to give herself to him yet. All he knew was he was falling in love with the girl.

Chapter 4 Kagome woke up on Saturday morning to the wonderful feeling of Sesshoumaru's arms wrapped around her. She took in his warmth, loving the feeling of sharing a bed with him. Carefully, as not to wake him, she untangled herself from his arms and the sheets and went to the bathroom for a shower.

As she stood under the spray she thought about the last month. What went from just hanging out at Rin's house became hanging out at Rin's house and spending time with her lover; the only catch was he was Rin's father. She knew it was wrong on so many levels, but this man did something to her that Inuyasha never did. He could make her knees weak with just a simple glance, her heart flutter with a kiss. He knew her strengths and weaknesses and never berate because of any quality he didn't like. All in all he was the perfect man for her. She only wished her friends and family would take it in stride if they were ever caught. At times she was half tempted to tell her mother, especially after the conversation they had about age differences, but she wasn't quite sure how she would take it.

She pushed the thoughts from her mind. The consequences were too heavy for her to consider at the moment and all she wanted was to enjoy all of the time she had with him.

By the time she had towel dried her hair Sesshoumaru stumbled into the bathroom still looking tired even though they got a full night's sleep and slept in. He gave her a sleepy kiss before slipping into the shower. Kagome went back into the bedroom and put on another one of the dresses he had gotten her. He loved seeing her in the dresses as much as she loved wearing them. Her family wasn't the most well off and she felt like a princess every time he presented her with a new dress or little knickknack. She pulled the black Chanel dress over her head, forgoing undergarments, and slipped on her slippers before going to the kitchen and putting on a pot of coffee for him.

Twenty minutes later he came into the kitchen, hair tied back into a low ponytail and wearing a pair of black slacks and a white shirt. He smiled when he saw Kagome at the table with a cup of coffee in her hand reading the paper. Ever since they had been doing that law project she had been religious about reading the paper every morning to try to keep up on what was going on in the world. Pouring himself a cup of coffee he sat down next to her and grabbed the business section.

"So what do you have planned for today?" she asked, looking at him over the "Lifestyle" section.

"I figured we would do a little shopping, go have a quick lunch, and then come back here. What happens after that is totally up to you," he said.

She put the paper down. "What if one of my friends or family sees us?"

Sesshoumaru chuckled. "I highly doubt your friends and family will see us where we are going."

"Why?"

-----

Kagome looked around the store in awe. When he gave her clothes it was all things that he had picked out and bought, he had never actually brought her shopping with him.

"I can't believe you brought me to Dolce and Gabbana!" she said, grabbing his hand and pulling him further into the boutique.

He smiled at her childish amazement. "Only the best for my kitten."

She stopped and turned back to look at him. "Why doesn't Rin have any clothes like this?" she asked. Rin's closet was full of department store brands, nothing as expensive as the clothing she was sure he was going to buy for her.

"She doesn't like these things," he said, almost depressed. "My mother has even tried to get her to buy more expensive items but she insists on wearing those dreadfully plain things she buys when she goes out with her friends."

"Hey! I used to wear those dreadfully plain things!" she shot at him.

Sesshoumaru shook his head and leaned down next to her ear. "But those things always end up on the bedroom floor so I don't have to put up with them for long."

Kagome shuddered, a combination of his warm breath on her ear and pure lust; she wanted to drag him back out of the store, out of Ginza, and back to his home so she could have her wicked way with him. When he pulled back to stand at his full height once again she pulled him down for a quick kiss before walking over to a shoe display, admiring some of the stiletto heels that she would never be able to walk more than two feet in.

"I like those," he said, pointing to a pair of red strappy sandals.

"Those?" she questioned. She knew he liked her in red, but she wasn't too sure about those shoes. "I will never be able to walk in those you know."

He smiled at her, the smile that made her just want to melt. "I didn't have too much walking in mind, dear. I was thinking more of you wearing nothing but the heels, though the heels wouldn't be on the floor."

"Come again?" She raised an eyebrow.

Again the laugh, only this time full of lust. "The heels wouldn't be on the floor; they would be up next to my ears when your legs are on my shoulders," he said, pulling her body close to his so she could feel his forming erection as he rubbed it against her backside.

Kagome quickly caught the attention of a sales attendant and waved her over. "I would like the red sandals in a size seven please!"

-----

The couple walked hand in hand into a small restaurant, with food that was a little on the cheaper side but Kagome told him she craved something 'cheap and greasy'. The trunk of Sesshoumaru's car was already packed with bags of all sorts; some things were Kagome's, some his own, and some full of things they had picked out for Rin. Her birthday was coming up and Sesshoumaru insisted that Kagome buy whatever she wanted Rin to have while they were out that day.

They sat down at a booth near the back of the restaurant, hoping for a little privacy. They had already ran into a couple of Sesshoumaru's friends and colleagues that immediately questioned Kagome's presence but he just brushed it off as wanting a girl's opinion as far as Rin's birthday gifts. They seemed to accept that and stayed a moment to talk about whatever was on their mind.

After running into so many people the little bit of solitude was welcome. A server that looked around Kagome's age came up to the table.

"Hi, I'm Shiori! Are the two of you ready to order?" she asked with a bright smile. Kagome immediately noted that the girl's eyes were trained completely on Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru nodded. "Yes we are. I would like the chili cheese fries and my girlfriend," he said looking pointedly at the girl next to him, "would like a cheeseburger. Add a strawberry shake to that, please?" He shut the menu that lay in front of him and handed it to the girl, who's man hungry look dissolved into a look of jealousy.

"I will have that out as soon as possible. Would you like your shake now, sir?"

Sesshoumaru looked over at Kagome. "Would you like it now, dear?" he asked, amused at the look of disappointment on the waitresses face.

Kagome shook her head. "I want it with our food. Two straws, please," she said with a smile.

With a nod the waitress seemed to stomp away. Kagome was never one to be intentionally mean, especially toward someone she didn't know, but she was going off of Sesshoumaru's cue. In a way she was glad that others were jealous of what she had. She was honestly shocked at his blatant display of affection. If they were found out it wouldn't be an illegal thing because of her age, it was more of a fear of what their families would think. For now, she was happy to live in their little fantasy world.

-----

"Kagura! Kagura!" Shiori cried the moment she went into the back room. "There is the hottest guy at one of my tables!"

Kagura turned around and smoothed down her skirt and apron before approaching the swinging doors and peeked out. She was honestly surprised to see both Sesshoumaru and Kagome at the booth looking cozy talking and laughing, sneaking kisses when they thought no one was looking. It almost broke her heart, knowing she didn't have anyone she could do things like that with.

She turned back to Shiori. "Yeah, that is a friend of mine with him." She went back to the stack of plates she was putting away.

"Wait," Shiori said. "That is a friend of yours?"

"Yeah," Kagura replied. "They are both head over heels for each other. Anyone with a brain could see that."

"Why do all of the hot ones have to be taken?" the other waitress moped.

"Or gay," Kagura supplied.

"Or gay."

-----

Sesshoumaru watched the girl next to him practically inhale her burger. "I swear you act like no one feeds you."

Kagome swallowed the bite of cheeseburger. "Don't you crave artery clogging food every once in a while?"

He shook his head. "Rarely. I like to see you eat. You are what, forty nine kilograms soaking wet holding a brick?"

Kagome laughed. "Fifty two, actually."

"Then you need to eat. Can't have my girl looking like a stick figure."

Kagome blushed. He called me his girl. "I wish I could lose a little weight sometimes. I don't like the way my legs look in a short skirt."

"But I do," he said as he inched his hand under the dress she wore, his fingers meeting the surprise she had for him. "You...you're not wearing any panties."

She shook her head and giggled. "You are really swift sometimes, you know that right?"

Sesshoumaru pulled his hand from under her skirt and onto the table. "Waitress!"

Chapter 5 He watched her from the door. She lay in the tub, hair up in a bun, steam rising from the water and hear heated skin into the cold air of the bathroom. She rubbed her hands up and down her legs in a bit of a massage before stretching out again and laying her head back, giving him a good look at her chest. Making his move, he walked into the bathroom and to her, picking up a wash cloth on the way to the tub. Delicately, he wiped the small beads of sweat that had formed on her forehead.

Kagome opened her eyes. "So, do you plan on joining me?"

He laughed at her straightforwardness. "Possibly. What do I get out of this?"

"I'll let you wash my back," she said with a smile.

Slowly he stripped out of his clothes. "I think you may have won me over."

She scooted forward a bit to give Sesshoumaru room to join her. The water moved in tiny waves as it rose higher in the basin, his legs stretched out to their full length along side her own, he pulled her back against his chest and wrapped his arms around her. "You know, I would enjoy baths much more if I always had a beautiful girl soaking with me."

Kagome sat up and whirled around, looking at him. "Any beautiful girl?"

Sesshoumaru shook his head. "There is no one that I'd rather be with, only you."

That seemed to placate her and she turned back around, once again leaning against his chest. "Thank you for today," she said quietly.

"No need to thank me, kitten. I always take care of what is mine."

"Yours," she mumbled, lacing her fingers through his larger ones.

At times she wished it would be completely true. She knew she was the only one in his life, she just hated hiding. That afternoon at the restaurant was the first time he had actually shown any sort of affection toward her in public she was thrilled yet scared at the same time; none of her previous boyfriends ever liked public displays of affection, especially Inuyasha. Any time she was out with Sesshoumaru she always had the fear of being caught by someone they know doing something they shouldn't be. Of course then she would feel like the kid caught with their hand in the cookie jar, trying to sneak just one little taste of a delectable treat.

The thing that they had was special in her eyes; it was a dream she never wanted to wake up from.

"What was your childhood like?" she asked. They had talked about many things when they got time together, but that was one subject they never touched on.

"Hmm..." He began to think. He wasn't really used to talking about his life; he was perfectly fine with Kagome talking about hers. He wasn't quite sure where to start. "You already knew I grew up in Kyoto. My father left for Tokyo to be with another woman when I was a teenager so I was left with my mother who was a nervous wreck. Before he left life was great; we were just an average family with a nice house and a dog. I never wanted for anything. Dad was always busy with work, but he was always there to tuck me in at night." He smiled. Before he left his father bent over backwards for his son. But then he met that wretched woman and had another child with her. "I have a half brother."

Kagome turned around to face him. "You do?"

Sesshoumaru nodded. "As a matter of fact he is about your age."

She thought for a moment. "Do I know him?"

He nodded and laughed. "You dated him."

"What??" she shrieked. "I dated him and you didn't tell me?? Did I know you then?" She cocked her head to the side in question.

"Inuyasha," he said plainly. Kagome opened and shut her mouth repeatedly, trying to figure out the right thing to say. "You are doing a really great fish impression, even better than the first time we met in this bathroom."

"What do you want me to say?"

"That the real thing is much better than the imitation."

She laughed a bit but quickly stopped. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't think it was important to be honest. I never speak to him, I don't even acknowledge his existence," he said cooly. It wasn't that he hated his brother, he just had a very strong dislike for him. He wasn't going to go out of his way and interact with the boy. The day that Kagome brought him as her prom date was priceless, they even exchanged words while Kagome was upstairs with Rin doing the little finishing touches to their makeup. They mostly consisted of "if you hurt her I will kill you" and "shut the fuck up, I'll do whatever I want with her". The only thing they agreed on was not to mention it to Kagome. There was no point in their eyes.

"When did you plan on telling me?"

"Seriously?" he replied.

She nodded.

"Never. In our dream world?"

She nodded again.

"At the wedding."

Even after dropping a bomb like that on her he still managed to make her heart beat painfully in her chest. She turned back around and leaned against him, relaxing into his arms and tucking her head underneath his chin. "You would seriously marry me?"

"If circumstances were different I would have married you the same week we met." He lifted her hand out of the heated water. "You are turning into a prune," he said before he kissed her fingertips one by one. "Let's go to bed."

"You never washed my back."

"We still have a full day for me to wash your back."

"Ok."

He stepped out of the bath first and then helped her out. Reaching back into the tub, he pulled the stopper out to drain it. When he stood back up she was already covered in a towel and had one open in her arms waiting for him. He took the towel from her and wrapped it around his waist.

Without a word he grabbed her hand and led her from the bathroom to the bedroom. With languid even strokes he brushed the towel over her skin, drying the little beads of water from the bath, then pulled her hair out of the bun letting it fall down her back.

He sat her on the bed before drying himself and sitting next to her, pulling her into an embrace. "Lay on your stomach," he said, moving away from her.

Kagome crawled up the bed and lay on her stomach just like he instructed. She wondered if he was going to do anything when she felt something cold on her back. "Hey!" she screeched, trying to get away from the cold sensation, when he placed his hands on her back to stop her from moving.

"Stay still." Slowly he began to massage the cold lotion into her back, working the muscles with practiced ease. "The project is getting to you again isn't it? You have a lot of knots."

"I'm afraid it won't be good enough," she confessed. "We have worked so hard but I don't think we've worked hard enough."

"Nonsense. Everything looks great so far, and you still have three more weeks to complete it. As your friends so kindly pointed out, you have two of the smartest girls in the school working with you. There is no way you will fail it, even if you do a half assed job." He started working on the knotted muscles in her shoulders, smoothing away all of the tension that had built there. "Relax and forget about projects. Forget about real life. Right now the only two people that exist in the world are you and me; the only place in the world is this room. Nothing else exists to me right now but you."

Kagome nearly melted at his words, along with the soothing effect his hands were having on the sore muscles of her back. The melt down was almost complete when she felt his lips along the back of her neck. She moaned slightly, taking his advice and forgetting about everything but him and the bedroom they were in.

Even though he was kissing her neck and successfully turning her on more than Inuyasha ever did, his hands never stopped working on her back. She was almost asleep when his hands stopped. "Hey," she groaned, but was quiet again when he flipped her over onto her back.

"Relaxed?" he asked.

She nodded. "Completely."

"How about we see if we can change that." Slowly, his hand made a path down her stomach and to one of his favorite spots. "I love how wet you get for me," he mumbled, moving his head down to her chest to capture a nipple and tease it with his teeth.

Her moans and gasps pushed him to give her more pleasure. Teasingly he slipped a finger into her, moving it in and out enough to make her cry for more of him. "Quit teasing me, Sesshoumaru," she said in a commanding tone.

"I don't know what you are talking about, darling." He pulled his finger out completely and added a second one.

She shook her head. "Oh, I have a feeling you know," she panted. "More, I want more of you."

His hand stilled, fingers still buried in her heat. "Do you now?" he asked playfully. When he looked into her eyes there was nothing playful there at all. "Tell me what you want, Kagome."

"I want you to make love to me," she whispered.

"Are you sure you want to give yourself to me?" he asked. The last thing he wanted was for her to regret what they were about to do.

She nodded. "You are the only person I want to give myself to."

He pulled his fingers out of her, quickly licking them clean, before he positioned himself between her open thighs. "Are you completely sure. If you aren't say so now because I don't think I will be able to stop myself once we start." He brushed a lock of hair away from her forehead.

"Completely sure," she said. "I always told myself I would wait until I found the man I love, and I'm done waiting."

He was nearly shocked into silence at her admission; she shared his feelings. Finally feeling complete for the first time in a long time he began to kiss her face, run his fingers through her hair, enjoy the feeling of her naked body against his own. "I love you too, Kagome." He positioned himself at her entrance, all the while keeping a close eye on her face for any sign of pain. Slowly he pushed into her, inch by inch to give her virgin body time to adjust to the intrusion. "I love you," he repeated once he was completely inside of her.

Kagome looked up at his face and saw nothing but love shining back down at her. She smiled and pulled him down for a slow heated kiss. She had always heard her mother talk about the look on her father's face as he told her he loved her; now she knew what she meant. He surrounded her, filled her. "I love you."

Keeping his movements slow and steady he began to move his hips, still looking for any sign of discomfort. "I've waited for this," he said, his breath coming out in light pants. "I've waited for the day that you would give yourself to me completely." He dropped his head to her shoulder and kissed the skin there.

She moved her hips in time with his, shocked at the lack of nasty pain that Kagura said came with losing one's virginity. She raked her nails over his back, surely leaving nice red welts. Battle scars he had once called them when she gave his shoulders the same treatment when he went down on her. "More," she moaned in his ear.

"I don't want to hurt you," he replied.

"You could never hurt me, Sesshoumaru."

Following her wishes he picked up the pace of his thrusts, grunting lightly in her ear with every movement. "Fuck, Kagome," he moaned.

Kagome wrapped her arms around Sesshoumaru's shoulders as he thrust into her. She had never felt so complete until now. Of course if anyone found out they would simply say it was teenage infatuation but deep down in her heart she knew she loved him, and when she heard those words from his mouth the light shining behind his eyes was unmistakable for any other emotion. "I love you," she repeated.

"I love you too," he grunted. His thrusts became wild and uneven. Before he knew what hit him and his whole body shuddered.

She felt his entire body quiver before collapsed on top of her. They lay in the sheets, a tangle of sweaty limbs. She kissed his forehead and rubbed his back lightly as he came down from his high.

"I'm so sorry," he said, picking his head up from her chest and looking into her eyes. "I didn't expect to end that quick. I disappointed you."

She laughed and shook her head. "You didn't disappoint me. Nothing you could ever do would disappoint me." She pulled him up for a kiss.

"Even though..."

She placed a finger on his lips. "Ssh. Weren't you the one who taught me that practice makes perfect?"

He laughed a bit. "I did, didn't I," he said with a smile. "Just give an old man a minute, I don't have as much stamina as I used to."

"There's no rush," she said, "we have the rest of the weekend."

"I would prefer the rest of our lives, but the weekend works too," he said.

Even though their first time was less than perfect, he made up for it. He made love to her in every position he could think of until the first rays of dawn peeked in through the blinds.

-----

When they finally woke up around ten they picked back up from where they left off at dawn. Finally she managed to talk him into letting her go to the kitchen to make something to eat, yet the moment she got there he surprised her again by throwing the dress she wore over her hips and taking her from behind right at the kitchen counter. They showered and once again ended up in the kitchen, Kagome cooking a late lunch and Sesshoumaru at the table reading the paper.

"Sesshoumaru?" she asked timidly.

He was confused. Kagome was never so quiet and timid when it came to talking to him. "What's the matter?" he asked. He stood from the table when she looked at him with a fearful look in her eyes. "What's wrong Kagome?"

"Uh...we..." she stammered.

"Kagome?" he questioned. He approached her form that stood at the counter, her hands gripped firmly on the corner like she was trying to hold herself up. "What's wrong?" he repeated. He pulled her away from the counter and into his arms, holding her against his chest.

"We forgot to use protection," she said, looking up at him.

He closed his eyes and pulled her even closer. "Fuck," he cursed quietly.

"Yeah," she whispered against his chest.

"I can't believe we didn't think about that."

They were silent for a moment, collecting their thoughts. Then he spoke up. "When was the last day of your period?"

She thought for a second. "Thursday."

"We should be fine then, but I will take you to the doctor if you want, just in case." He ran his fingers through her hair. He was scared, yes, but more for her than himself.

She shook her head. "What will we do if....if....I know I wouldn't be able to..."

"Shhh," he quieted her quivering voice. "I would never ask that of you and you know it. I wouldn't love you any less, there would just be one more little person there to love and care for."

She relaxed into his embrace even more. "You wouldn't hate me?"

"Never," he whispered into her hair. "And I wouldn't give a damn about what everyone thinks. The woman I love would be carrying my child, and that would make me the happiest man alive."

Suddenly the front door slammed open. "Dad! I'm home! Dad-" Rin walked into the kitchen to see her father with Kagome in his arms, whispering something to her. "Dad? What's wrong with Kagome?"

'Think fast, Sesshoumaru, think fast,' he thought to himself, but Kagome was already speaking.

"Inuyasha and Kikyo decided to come to the shrine. Kikyo never visits on her own. I think she just wanted to rub it in that she was with him now. I didn't know where else I could go." Kagome had tears in her eyes from her pervious conversation with Sesshoumaru and Rin seemed to buy her story because she dropped her suitcase and ran over to her friend.

"I can't believe those jerks would do that!" She pulled Kagome from Sesshoumaru and into her arms and pressed her head to her shoulder. "Let it out, hun, just let it all out."

To Sesshoumaru's surprise Kagome started to sob onto his daughter's shoulder, only he knew the real reason and wished it was he that was holding her. "Rin, why don't you take Kagome up to your room and I'll bring you some tea."

Chapter 6

The three weeks until their project was due was action packed. Kagome and Kagura had pretty much moved into Rin and Sesshoumaru's home so they could work as much as possible in a group, while Eri and Ayumi only stayed after school. They got the project in early, which was a normal thing for Kagome and Rin, and were on high nerves while they waited for the results.

"I can't believe we did it, dad!" Rin cheered.

Sesshoumaru smiled. "I knew you all would do great," he said to all of the girls, though his gaze was focused on Kagome mostly.

It had been a week since they turned in their project and their teacher finally gave them back her report sheet and they passed with flying colors, complete with bonus points for having it turned in before it was due. "It's finally over, I can relax!" Kagome said with a sigh, plopping down onto the couch.

"Not quite yet", Kagura reminded her with a wink.

Rin looked at Kagura funny, especially after the comment she just made toward Kagome.

"What?" she asked, confused.

Kagura looked at Ayumi and Eri with the same glances. "We can't quite relax yet, can we girls?"

Catching on, the other two nodded their heads. "She's right!" Eri said.

"What aren't you telling me?" Rin asked, looking between her friends and her father.

"All in time, love," her father told her, patting her on the head. "How does pizza sound, girls?" Just like the first time he asked that question he got positive replies from each girl in the room. "I'll call the order in and have it delivered." He left toward the kitchen to call Kohaku for the special order.

"I've got an idea, let's watch a movie!" Kagura said. She needed to keep Rin occupied long enough for Kagome to sneak out of the room to put phase two of their surprise in motion. "How about The Devil Wears Prada?" Four affirmative nods and she got up to put the movie into the DVD player.

"Since we're watching a movie, I'm going to go change out of this horrible uniform. I don't see how you guys can wear them and not feel uncomfortable," Kagome said just before she left the room.

Rin looked down at her legs. "Oh, I definitely see how I can wear these. My legs look hot!"

Kagome rolled her eyes before heading toward Sesshoumaru's bedroom. She opened the door and went to the closet, grabbing a pair of sweatpants and his Tokyo U shirt, before stripping out of her uniform and putting on the comfy clothes. Like she had many times before, she tossed her uniform into the dirty clothes hamper on top of his suits and rumpled sleep pants. Returning to the closet she pulled out the last few of Rin's gifts that they had bought on their first shopping trip to wrap them.

They all knew Rin wasn't expecting the surprise party. Her birthday was in the middle of the upcoming week; a party on Saturday evening would be perfect. All she had to do now was hope that the movie and the other girls would keep Rin occupied while she finished wrapping the gifts and calling a few extra people to let them know that it was safe to come over. Kohaku already had a few people coming with him when he delivered the pizza, her mother had agreed to bring the cake over, and Sesshoumaru was getting a few extra preparations taken care of.

She lay the last couple of boxes out on the bed and began to unroll the brightly colored paper to wrap them when she heard the door creak open. She looked up to see Sesshoumaru standing with his back to the door, his hand on the knob clicking the lock. "Want to take a break?" he asked.

"But I just started," she replied, looking up at him from her perch on the corner of his bed.

"Then finish when I am done with you." Before she had time to move he had already moved to her, pulling her off of the bed and into his arms. "I love it when you wear my clothes," he whispered into her hair. "But I love it even more when they are on the floor."

Sesshoumaru tried to pull the shirt over her head but she stopped his hands. "We don't have time!" she said in a harsh whisper.

He nodded. "Yes, we do!" he insisted, this time going for her pants and tugging them down around her ankles. His hands immediately went for her center, fondling her wet folds with his long fingers. "Your body says we have time," he said. He moved away from her and opened the drawer of his bedside table. "I remembered this time," he announced holding up a condom. Kagome shook her head and laughed. After their first time they had been religious about protection, for the most part. There were still times they got carried away and went without but it was few and far between.

She kicked the pants off as he unzipped his and let them drop to his ankles before rolling the prophylactic onto his erection. Neither of them spoke as he walked back up to her and lifted one of her legs to his hip and entered her quickly. Kagome hid her face in his neck to try and calm her moans and gasps as she enjoyed his body against her own. "So close," she gasped.

He held her tighter in his arms, speeding up his thrusts. "Love you, 'Gome," he said, almost harshly. That was all Kagome needed. Her entire body shuddered, tightening around his own and sending him over the edge with her. Panting, he held her for a moment more before pulling away from her and throwing the used condom in the trash. He looked back over at her, bending down to put her pants back on. "You've got a battle scar," he commented with a laugh as he pulled his own pants back up.

"Huh?" she questioned.

He pulled her over to the mirror and pulled her pants down low enough to expose her backside to reveal a nice red hand print over one of the cheeks. "You've got a battle scar," he repeated.

She giggled and pulled the collar of his shirt down and pointed out a small bite mark that she must have left during her orgasm. "So do you," she said, leaning up and kissing the bite mark before pulling his shirt back into place.

Sesshoumaru pulled Kagome in for one more kiss before he went back to the kitchen but before he could the doorbell rang. "Shit," he cursed lightly.

"Crap, I didn't get the rest of the gifts wrapped!" She turned only to be pulled back to him for the kiss that was interrupted. "Love you too, Sess," she whispered against his lips. "Go entertain and I'll be down in a few minutes."

He nodded and kissed her once more. "Don't be too long." He unlocked the door and left the room, shutting the door behind him. The doorbell rang once more. "Rin, honey, will you get that please?"

Rin barely caught his dad's instruction but stood from the couch and walked to the front door, throwing it open.

"Surprise!"

Rin's eyes widened; Kohaku stood in front of her holding six pizzas boxes and a few friends from their class at school stood behind him, all with gifts and smiles on their faces.

"Happy birthday, Rin," Kohaku said. The world seemed to stop for Rin as the boy leaned in and kissed her before walking into the house with the food.

-----

By the time Kagome got the gifts finished the party was in full swing in the kitchen and living room. The dining room, once known as legal central, had been transformed with food and gifts for the birthday girl. There were various people milling around the house, some she knew some she didn't. She recognized Shippou, the only redheaded boy in their school, Kohaku, who currently sat on the couch with Rin with an arm protectively around her, and Hojo; the rest of the people must have been friends of Rin's before they met.

She sat the wrapped gifts in her arms on the table in the dining room and went into the kitchen, being called by the yummy scents of pizza. Sesshoumaru sat at the small kitchen table, staring out of the glass doors to the patio. Kagome sat in the chair next to him and fiddled with the boxes trying to find the toppings she liked. "Penny for your thoughts?" she asked.

Apparently startled, he jumped a bit before turning to her and smiling at her. "Your mother just dropped off the cake," he said, though his eyes told that there was something bigger on his mind than that.

"And..." Kagome baited him, hoping to find out the real story.

"And it was strange," he sighed. "It was hard to act normally." What was he supposed to say? 'Hello, Mrs. Higurashi! I just fucked your daughter not even five minutes ago, thanks for the cake!

Kagome leaned against his shoulder. "I know what you mean. She found the sheet of sticker pictures we took the day we went shopping." She sighed. "Of course she questioned, but I lied and told her I dragged you in there as a joke."

"Rin found one of the polaroids."

Her eyes widened. Rin had gone out on a date with Kohaku one evening and Kagome came over to spend time with Sesshoumaru. He had found one of his old polaroid cameras and a couple packs of film and they got a little....creative. "Which one did she find?"

"The one of me brushing my teeth."

"Oh, thank gods," Kagome sighed with relief.

Sesshoumaru laughed. "You aren't kidding. I don't even want to thank about what she would have done if she found one of the..." he trailed off, letting her finish the thought.

Kagome giggled. They had taken so many pictures that day. Definitely more skin than she would ever show to anyone but him and her doctor. If anyone found those she wouldn't know what to do.

"How about we go relive some of those moments," he whispered to her, grabbing her hand and putting it on the erection forming in his pants.

"But what about the party?"

"They will never notice."

-----

"Fuck," he grunted, pushing himself deeper into her. "Fuck, Kagome." He had pulled her back to his bedroom, and in the chaos of the party no one seemed to notice their quick little getaway. Now she was bent over his bathroom counter as he pounded into her from behind.

Kagome moaned lightly. "Mmm...right there, Sess...." She tightened her grip on the countertop, trying to avoid knocking anything off and causing a ruckus. A few more thrusts and he emptied himself into her and fell over her back, kissing the back of her neck and still thrusting lightly not wanting to break their connection quite yet. Slowly, he pulled out of her. When she tried to stand he pushed her back down. "Wha-?" Kagome tried to say, but was hushed when she felt a damp washcloth running over her vulva as he gently cleaned the evidence of their coupling away.

"Perk of having sex in a bathroom," he said while cleaning his own genitals.

They both quickly arranged their clothes. Kagome walked to the bathroom door and was in the process of opening it when Sesshoumaru pulled her back to him and lifted her to sit on the counter. "We should get back down there," she protested weakly but was quickly quieted with his lips on her own.

"I don't want to share you yet," he said, once again claiming her lips. He moved forward between her parted thighs and wrapped his arms around her. "We haven't gotten enough time together lately. I wish I didn't have to take you in the bathroom, I'd rather make love to you in our bed."

"Our bed?"

"You are the only one I will share my bed with. I wish you didn't have to leave it."

They just sat there in each other's arms, enjoying the other's presence and scent, wishing that they didn't have to hide. Day by day it was getting harder. He couldn't count how many times he had taken Kagome and Rin out shopping and had to stop himself from decapitating the many boys that would hit on his girls. Especially Kagome. Rin proved to have her mother's feisty personality and was quick to show the offenders Kohaku's promise ring that never left her finger. It irritated him to see Rin and Kagura trying to get Kagome to go out on double dates with them, thinking that she would actually agree no questions asked. She always played it off somehow, but it was really beginning to grate on Sesshoumaru. She was his and his alone, he wanted the rest of the world to know that.

He took in her scent, her natural aroma with a touch of his soap. He laughed at her at first, but she started buying the same brand of soap that he used so she could be surrounded in his scent all of the time. It also helped to hide if they had been together. They smelled the same, so no one would really question any odd smelling scent coming from either of them.

Their moment of solitude was abruptly halted when someone banged on the door.

"Would you two hurry up in there?" It was Kagura. "I really have to pee and I think someone is making out in the other bathroom."

Sesshoumaru stood back far enough to let Kagome off of the counter before he opened the door. "Did anyone else notice us disappear?"

Kagura shook her head. "I saw where you were going and kept everyone as distracted as I could until you were out of sight. No move before I wet myself." Not so kindly she shoved both Sesshoumaru and Kagome out of the way and slammed the bathroom door.

They moved over to the bed and sat down. "Graduation is coming soon," she said quietly, the sadness evident in her voice.

"You are correct. Have you thought about any schools you want to attend?"

"Tokyo University, maybe even a small community college. I want to stay close, but my mother wants me to apply to NYU like she did when she was my age."

He took her hand. "What do you want to do?" he asked, just as much sadness dripping through his words.

"I want to please my mother by attending NYU, but I don't want to leave you." She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "I don't think I could handle it."

Sesshoumaru kissed her forehead. "Whatever you plan I will stand behind your decision. I knew that this was going to happen, and I honestly didn't expect to get so attached. Our age gap is a hinderance on so many different levels."

"I know," she whispered, a few tears finally rolling down her cheeks. "Why does the world have to be so screwed up?"

"I don't know."

Neither of them saw Kagura open the bathroom door. "I'll tell Rin that you aren't feeling well, Kagome, and that you are watching over her Mr. Kouinu."

Sesshoumaru nodded at her and followed her to the bedroom door. After she left he locked the door before returning to Kagome's side. Slowly the stripped down naked while she did the same. They both slipped under the covers and curled up together, enjoying the closeness and the warmth of each other's body. Through the sadness they felt they still did their best to enjoy the time that they did have.
