#2 of Life With InuYasha


Still wanting to get a few more hours of sleep in, Kagome quickly made it back to the location of her deserted item. When she arrived, she was taken back completely by what she saw- for there was a fully disrobed Inuyasha laying on his back, covered in Kagome's forgotten lube. He had one arm going between his legs and his hand was curled around with a few fingers reaching in, exploring his insides.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed, "What do you think you are doing?!?"

"K- Kagome!" He instantly responded as he got to his feet. He quickly put his hands down to cover himself, noticing now that he was getting hard and so soon would be the task of covering himself with his hands alone. "I was just making sure you were okay..."

Annoyed and confused by this answer, "How is this 'making sure I'm okay'?" she mocked as he started to drip.

"I thought maybe a y?kai spirit had taken over your body. When I was watching you earlier with this bottle-" He began.

"YOU WHAT?" She snapped. "You followed me and watched me!"

He quickly shut up. The redder her face got, the more his ears folded back until they were almost flat on his head. A few more moments of this tense stand off went by without a sound. He held his breath; prepared to receive the biggest 'osuwari' he'd ever get in his entire life and Kagome was more than ready to give it, but for some reason she glanced down, only to be greeted by Inuyasha's exposed secret peeking out from behind his hands.

Out of no where and to Inuyasha's complete surprise, Kagome began to laugh. Confused and a little terrified, Inuyasha uncharacteristically opted to remain silent, still standing motionless, waiting for permission to move.

"Now it makes sense! You don't know- ... Well it's you, of course you don't!" She said between breaths, "...and you were trying to imitate what I- ... Oh, this is too good." She finished as she calmed to a giggle.

After a moment, she looked directly at him and asked, "So you didn't know what I was doing?"

Inuyasha shook his head 'no'.

"...and you were trying to imitate me to figure it out?" She added.

He nodded. "So...You're not mad at me then?" He asked cautiously.

"Of course I am!" She warned.

"You and I need to talk some time. Put your clothes on already, we need to get back to camp." She finally added.

It was a command he was more than happy to obey. Inuyasha turned around to gather his effects and get dressed while Kagome walked in the other direction to give him some privacy when things were abruptly interrupted by a blood curdling shriek from Kagome. He turned around to find her in the arms of a y?kai.

"Let her go!" Inuyasha growled while grabbing Tessaiga and taking a defensive stance.

"Look at you, pathetic hany?, protecting your fragile humans." The y?kai taunted. "Toss over your weapon or I crush her neck right now."

Inuyasha didn't like the idea at all, but seeing no other choice, he tossed Tessaiga at the y?kai's feet. The y?kai continued to provoke Inuyasha, "Just look at what you've become, dragging your human females into the forest to mate with them like this. I should kill you both right now, what do you think little girl?"

Kagome squirmed and Inuyasha stepped forward, trying to reach Tessaiga.

The y?kai interrupted "I wouldn't try that, or I might accidentally crush your human- what do you call them? Girlfrien-", Without warning, Kagome kicked and caught the y?kai off guard. She dropped to the ground, grabbing Tessaiga and threw it to Inuyasha. She quickly got back to her feet and ran toward him.

"You will regret this human!" The y?kai pulled out an O-fuda and launched it toward Kagome.

Inuyasha screamed, "Kagome!" with Tessaiga in hand, darted in front Kagome, and turned around, using his body to shield her from the deadly spell. There was a bright flash and Inuyasha felt a slight tingle in his legs, but it was over quickly. He turned back around, faced the y?kai, and said "Is that all you got?" With one quick motion, he ripped Tessaiga from Tessaiga no Saya and delivered a quick Kaze no kizu, obliterating the y?kai.

"Kagome, are you okay?" He asked. Kagome nodded. He was just about ready to deliver an 'I told you so' speech, when he quickly remembered he was the one standing in the middle of the forest wearing only his sword and there was a small chance she might still be mad at him. His thoughts shifted, "About the things the y?kai said-" He started.

"Don't worry about it." Kagome interrupted, "It wasn't your fault. Besides, if you hadn't been out here... Let's just say I shouldn't have wandered so far out by myself."

A brief and awkward silence passed, before he wisely turned back to the task of dressing himself again. He had just managed to get his fundoshi on, when Kagome saw the spell stuck to his backside.

"Uh, Inuyasha...The O-fuda is still on you're..." She said, breaking the silence while pointing.

"What?" He turned his head around trying to get a look at it when he noticed Kagome was giggling again. He felt up his leg until he reached his right cheek and found the source of her laughter. The spell landed square on his butt and for some reason, even after defeating the y?kai, it was still there.

He tried tugging at it, but it was stuck on pretty good. Kagome walked over and looked at it. "I don't recognize the symbol." She said, "Here, maybe I can get it off."

Kagome pulled at the paper, tugging at it pretty hard, eliciting all sorts of funny faces from Inuyasha in the process.

"Quit tensing up. It's making it harder to get off." She said.

"I can't help it!" Inuyasha snipped.

"Well, unless you want to keep wearing this thing, you'd better calm down and stop clenching. Take a few deep breaths." Kagome replied and began pulling at it again, "You're still tensing up-"

Inuyasha tried to argue, "Kagome! I can't help it, I've-"

Kagome let go, "Inuyasha, relax right now or I'm going to put that rosary to work!"

"But, Kagome! I-", He persisted.

"INUYAHSA!" She said in a tone that usually indicated he was seconds away from eating dirt.

Finally Inuyasha said, "Fine! Don't listen, we'll do things your way." and completely relaxed his body.

Kagome had managed to free one corner of the paper, so she grabbed it with both hands and with Inuyasha relaxed, it started to peel off. "See? It's not so bad now that you're rel-", but her sentence was cut short by the sound and sight of fluid trickling down and between Inuyasha's legs, pooling at his feet as he relieved himself while still in his underwear.

"Great." She muttered under her breath as she waited impatiently.

"I tried to warn you." He commented as he continued.

A few seconds passed and his stream slowed to just a dribble near his feet, "Now are you ready?" She asked.

"Yeah." He sheepishly replied after a deep sigh.

Finally with a mighty rip the paper partially removed, but then unexpectedly combusted, setting fire to the back side of Inuyasha's loincloth which was still dry.

Inuyasha jumped at the sensation, "What the Hell!"

"Hold still, you're on fire!" Kagome screamed as she grabbed hold of part of the garment. Weakened by the flames, she was able to break it off and quickly toss it down where it hissed as the wet ground put it out the glowing embers.

Inuyasha looked down stunned, at his smoldering pile of cloth and then up at Kagome.

"Sorry." Was all she could manage.

To her surprise though, even with the spell removed, the mark remained on Inuyasha like a glowing red tattoo. After a few seconds it faded to black.

"Well?" Inuyasha asked impatiently.

"Well..." She cautiously responded, "I got the O-fuda off, but..."

(Writers note: Aren't you glad I didn't put a but/butt play on words here? :-)

"But what? You ruined my fundoshi in the process? I know." He interrupted.

"No. Well, yes actually, but besides that. The symbol is still there." She finished. "Why don't we go back to the river and get all that lube washed off. Then, we can head back to camp. We might have to find someone to help us with this one."

"Like you said earlier... Great." Inuyasha growled sarcastically under his breath as they started walking. He picked up the rest of his belongings nearby. Kagome maneuvered around his puddle as they departed, but Inuyasha of course walked right through it.

The day's first light was showing at the pair's second visit to the river and it was Kagome that stayed close this time while Inuyasha was the one getting cleaned up. By this point he was too exhausted to maintain civility and had given up trying to cover himself. After he was done, for the third and final time, he attempted to dress, but unlike the previous attempts- this time he was successful.

That morning Kagome caught her curiosity getting the better of her a few times when she found herself staring at him and admiring his new tattoo; although she would never admit it, she did enjoy watching.
