Secrets

It'd be the same routine for at least a week now. She'd do her routine. Bathe, moisturize, and spritz a light mist. Of course, Inuyasha was not fond of it. He'd fuss at her that she didn't need the extra 'stink.'

But she saw his eyes. How, after her routine, his eyes would linger.

Ever curious, she'd attempt to narrow down his fascination. She knew she couldn't just waltz up to the stoic man and straight out ask.

No, she knew she'd have to be smart about this.

She changed up her routine. New soap? Nope. Shampoo, maybe? Nah. Maybe a new lotion? Maybe unscented options? New body spray? Nothing.

The only constant that drew his attention was the oil she used. She didn't use much, but it had become her favorite.

But it was only when on her. She'd put some on Sango's hand, but again he didn't seem to notice.

However, she began to indulge in the attention.

He'd stand nearer or even at times engage in conversation with her.

It was nice to have a man's attention. His eyes on her made her feel all kinds of nice.

She blushed at the thought. Jeez, she sounded so creepy right now. He'd stepped away, but Rin and Jaken were still in camp. So he couldn't have been far.

She'd excused herself, telling Sango she needed to refresh herself.

It was warm, and she was a little sweaty. So, some distance, she finally set down her bag and reapplied deodorant. However, in her sanitary bag, she saw the oil.

"Just a little bit," she murmured, "With all this heat, I don't want to stink.

Putting some in her palm, she balanced the small bottle, finally sealing it. She sighed as she rubbed the oil across her collar bone and neck. The oil made it easy to work on the sore muscles of her shoulders.

Startled, she jumped back into a strong torso, seeing a clawed hand round her. "Do not shout," his deep rumble had her freeze. The hand that had startled her, softly layed at the top of jeans on her hip. The other slowly creeping down her arm, to take hold of her hand.

This set her insides into a weird twist. Her eyes peeked behind her, seeing his bare chest. Her face snapped away, embarrassed. He must have left the group for a moment to try and cool down.

The warmth of his breath caressed up her neck, "You continue to hide-"

She sighed, "I'm just trying to freshen up Sesshomaru-"

A growl cut her sentence short as he snatched her against him, "Woman, I know your secrets."

He'd startled a stillness over her. "Secrets," she asked, almost afraid but also extremely riled from the coarseness of his tone. His nose and lips continued to breathe her in, not at all bothered by making contact. Her thighs squeezed together, feeling all her hormones flood her, "I'm not hiding anything -"

His lips opened as he spoke against her throat, "Liar."

His lean muscles wound around her tightly, "Sesshomaru."

"You've been tempting this one for days," he growled against her skin. "You purposefully lure me to you."

She took in a sharp breath, he'd known?! He knew she had been putting on the oil he favored? Her face reddened further. He knew she'd become fond of him. He knew she had feelings for him.

His fingers left her hip, crawling up her breast to gently caress her neck. With deadly claws ever so softly scraping against her heated skin, he breathed out against her ear, "I know your secrets, Kagome."

Okay, yes. I'm late... again. But in my defense, my body hates me.

I have a 20-pound cat on me and can no longer feel my legs.... like pretty sure I should be concerned, but like he chose me.

I am the chosen one

Well, onwards into stardew valley, I guess.

It's MerMay, and I've missed painting

Oh brother (pt 2)

She'd turned around to the sight of bright pinks and yellows. Even more stunned when he placed two large bundles of said bright colors.

Inuyasha, whom was only turned for a moment faced his brother now. However the sight had him sputtering and cackling like a mad man. He wheezed so loudly, that little Rin tugged his sleeve wanting to know what was so funny.

"Lord Inuyasha, what's so funny? I want to know," she giggled at his antics.

"His greatness, Lord Sesshomaru has brought Lady Kagome a thousand of the sweetest buds," Jaken squaked loudly.

By now, Inuyasha was on the brink of tears and red in the face. He had not thought his brother would take what he said so literally.

Seeing the commotion, Shippo rounded his mother. His eyes immediately narrowed, his overprotective nature bubbling up.

Nervously, Kagome's eyes skittered from each of the bouquets. Dear kami, there was so many.

Hearing the continued laughter, Sesshomaru sighed his eyes nearly rolling in his skull.

If not for her, he'd have already had have beat the boy with the bouquet in his arms.

Courting your younger idiotic brother's best friend was the test of all tests.

Sorry I was gone for so long! I had a lot of things smack me all at once...😅

Fight

She'd been worrying her lip since he'd arrived. Her hands now fidgeted nervously, "Miko."

Her nervous laugh had his stomach turn, "Hello Sesshomaru. My favorite Sesshomaru -"

He leaned into her space, causing her to freeze. His nosebrushed her cheek, "Greet me properly."

A shiver ran through her when his tongue lapped across her neck.

Still quite shy, she leaned forward and kissed his cheek.

However, before she could utter a word, a hiccup interrupted her. "S'up big bro" Inuyasha slurred. "You kissin' up on my bess frand, ya know?"

A pregnant pause echoed through the woods until he spotted it. An empty bottle. Specifically, HIS bottle of wine that Kagome had gifted him.

Immediately, he saw red, THAT -WAS -A -GIFT. He snatched him by the collar, seething.

"Sesshomaru- no," she grabbed him, trying to pull him off of the drunkard.

When his heated glare met her pleading face, "Kagome, yes!"

She still struggled to pull him away, "No! We both know he's a giant idiot! HEEL DAMN IT!" He was just too damn strong, "I'll buy you another!" Still, he would not budge, "Damn it, Sesshomaru! You can't kill our village's idiot!"
