Incense And Mirth, Taming The Wild Hanyou Heart

Kagome let out a disgusted sigh: "UGH! Math homework!" Frowning, she added, "Algebra. Who needs it?"

Inuyasha, who had been sitting on her bed with his back leaning against the wall, chuckled.

" Hey you; what's so funny?" she asked. "You are." Inuyasha answered, then slowly, almost contritely, he belched.

"Inuyasha!! Would you mind? That is so insulting!"

"Well it's not my fault! You know when I eat cabbage it gives me gas." He snickered.

" You didn't have to eat as much of Mom's chicken and cabbage stir-fry as you did. Honestly, you were as bad as gramps and Sota. At least those two don't pass gas in my bedroom." Kagome retorted.

Inuyasha scowled. "Pass gas? OHHH! You mean fart, like this." He let himself go once more.

"GAHH! Inuyasha, you Baka! You stink!" Kagome yelped, infuriated.

Inuyasha just laughed. He loved teasing her like this, that is , until she got fed up and 'sat' him.
Kagome decided that she'd had enough. She stood, and holding her nose against the smell, she headed for her closet.

"Hey wench! What cha up to?" Inuyasha managed to get out between two more cracks of wind.

"UGH! If you must know, you pig, I'm looking for a gift that Ayume gave me last winter.I've never used it before. I've never HAD to! It's called 'Incense'."

"ACK!" "You mean that stuff they burn in shrines 'n' stuff? You ain't usin' that in here, wench!" Inuyasha's tone of voice said it all.

"Oh, yes I am!" Kagome shot back.

"OH, no you're not!" he yelled in replay.

"OH, YES I am." she quipped back "And if you're not HAPPY about it, you can go and sulk in the Sacred Tree. At least you won't stink up my room anymore!"

"FIne, wench! Have it your way!" Inuyasha growled back.

As he headed for the window, he paused, and sticking his backside out just a little, he let go of the loudest, stinkiest, fart he could ever have hoped for. Just out of spite, of course. Laughing as hard as he could and still managing to get through the window, he jumped for the tree.

"Inuyasha!!" Kagome gagged. 'Damn It!' she thought to herself as she lit the incense stick and placed it with its tray on her desk. 'I wish he'd learn some manners.' she softly sighed to herself.
After a few moments, Kagome took in the soothing scent that wafted up to nose. "Ahhh! Much better." she sighed out loud.

"HAH!" she heard coming from the tree outside by her windowsill. Kagome decided to ignore it and reached for her homework.

After several minutes had passed by though, Inuyasha crawled back into her room. He held his nose up in the air , sniffing, and had a very strange look on his face. Kagome couldn't help but wonder what he was up to.
All of a sudden, he took a big whiff....and then lunged for her. He missed and wound up on his knees in front of her.

"EEP!! What are you doing? I..Inu..Yasha?" she yelped, then gulped.

"UNHH, Kagoooome! You...look...so...so...uh... whash da word? Oh yeah, bee-you-tee-full!" Inuyasha groaned as he staggered up.

Kagome's eyes opened in shock. "What have you been up to? Did you find my grandfathers' stash of SAKÉ?" she asked him while slowly inching out of his reach.

Inuyasha made a small disgusted snort. "NO!" He yelled. "You know I don't touch that stuff! Now come here 'n' let me kiss ya!" he ordered.

"Have you gone crazy?" she yelled back.

Inuyasha took anther deep breath of the floating aroma around him. "Yes!" he growled. "I'm crazy for you."
There was a lustful, burning intensity in those golden half-shut eyes of his.

"Inuyasha, you're kinda scaring me." Kagome whispered.

"Good, now maybe y'll lishen to me." he slurred back, lunging for her again. This time he caught her off guard and they both wound up falling on to her bed.

"Gotcha!" Inuyasha chuckled wholeheartedly as he found himself halfways on top of Kagome. She stared up into his face.

"What is WRONG with you, Inuyasha? You've never acted this way before. Why now?" she softly asked.

"Maybe 'cause I never had enough guts to do so before." he whispered back, longingly gazing down towards her mouth as she nervously licked her lips.

Groaning, he slowly, ever so slowly, bent his head down towards her. Kagome gasped, but before she could utter a word, his lips crushed hers. He teased her with his tongue, trying to pry her mouth open. She moaned, then shivered as a wave of passionate longing overtook her. But then the reality of what was happening hit her and she started to stuggle.

"Kagooome, nooo. Please, don't dooo this to meee." Inuyasha softly begged.

He grabbed her two wrists that were pushing on his chest and pulled them up over her head, then held them firmly in place with one clawed hand. He slowly caressed her face with his other one.

Groggily, he took another big whiff of the sweet smelling incense. It made him shudder and Kagome could feel his hard-on through his clothes. She knew that her squirming around had only contributed to making it even harder.

How many nights had she dreamed of this? How many times had she awoken with a fire in her belly and a thirst in her body that Kagome knew only Inuyasha could quench?

'Damn it! If I don't stop this now, I know we'll go to far. I don't know what even started all of this, but one thing's for sure, when he snaps out of it, we are gonna have one hell of a LONG TALK!" she told herself.

Inuyasha finally decided to come up for air. He rested his forehead on hers, his hair a silver halo around their heads.

"UH, Inuyasha....could you let go of me, please? You're hurting my arms." Kagome asked softly.

"Oh, Kami. Kagome, I'm sorry." he whispered.

"Uh....Inuyasha...as much...um...as I...uh...like... this...uh...I'm not quite...ready for all of it. Kagome stuttered.

He looked at her. "HUH?

"Well...uh...couldn't we take this a little slower? Um, you know...like maybe one step at a time?"

"Kagome! That's a great idea! Put some music on! Lets dance!" Inuyasha exclaimed as jumped off of her.

Pulling her up with him, he continued: "Come on, get up!"

He twirled her around with him, pushing her towards her radio. She had no choice but to turn it on. As the music filled the room, Inuyasha started prancing around, wriggling his butt as the rest of his body tried to follow suit.

Kagome couldn't help but giggle at his antics. He made a grab for her, but Kagome was a bit quicker and managed to keep out of his waving hands.

As the music stopped and a commercial came on, Inuyasha made a bee-line for the last bit of incense that was flickering out.

"Ohhh.....no more." he pouted.

"That's it!! The incense! It's affecting Inuyasha in the same way catnip does to Bouyo!" Kagome exclaimed out loud.

Inuyasha took one last big sniff, and rolling his eyes up in his head, he keeled over on top of the bed, out cold. Kagome couldn't help but laugh.

"Boy, is he ever gonna have a headache when he wakes up." she giggled to herself.

She wondered what the name of this particular brand of incense was. She looked through her closet shelf, finally finding the cannister. She stared at the label, not believing her eyes.

"Oh, Ayume. I should have known you'd do something like this to me." Kagome whispered.
"Musk! Of all brands, it had to be Russian Musk! No wonder his libido went into overdrive."

As Kagome looked to her sleeping hanyou, a thought came to her, would he remember everything? She certainly hoped so. It'll make quite the story to tell Sango and the others. She chortled at that thought.

Suddenly, she stopped as it dawned on her. All of this had happened because of two things. Her mother's chicken and cabbage stir-fry... which led to Inuyasha's gas.

'Well, at least he stopped being stinky.' she thought. She took one last affectionate look at her sleeping hanyou, and quietly left the room, shutting the door behind her. Kagome never heard Inuyasha groan, nor the loud belch that he let out while he was still sound asleep.


The end, or is it?


Well, this is my first story on AFF. It's my first fanfic. I've never really had much time to write before. I really would appreciate any reviews. And I don't mind constructive criticisime. But, Please be gentle. Thank you.


A/N Sorry for all the inconvenience of the way this thingy was written the first time. My computer and I had a little argument on how I wanted this written, and seeing that it was pretty damned late at night, the computer won. I hope that it's easier to read now. JA NE
