Melodic Memory

Chapter 18

Inuyasha woke late in the afternoon to a much clearer head and less ache. He groaned as he moved towards the bathroom to take a quick shower. He sighed as his muscles relaxed under the hot stream of water that poured over his face and down his lean chest. He stayed in the confines of his shower for longer then he might have expected to, it wasn't until his hands began to prune that he figured it was best to leave such a relaxing and therapeutic shower. He kinda of hoped he might just stay in their all evening, without the resulted effect upon his body. He quickly wondered what it might be like to take a nice long hot bath such as the ones Sango and Kagome always talked about so absentmindedly. After he dried off and slipped on a nice comfy pair of sweat pants and a white t-shirt he decided to order some pizza. Pizza always made him feel better after a night of reckless drinking. As he waited for the delivery he rummaged through his fridge for some tea. He always had his maid keep a steady supply of iced tea in his fridge. The more American drink had finally made a home in his fridge after staying in New York for a short time. As he chugged away on his iced tea he slowly made his way to the phone. He looked at it willing himself to move his hand to the receiver and place the phone call he knew he was dreading, but it was now or never he felt. He needed to talk to someone. Someone who could understand him, someone who would listen and not argue with him. He did enough of that on his own account. Inuyasha sighed and picked it up.

“Hello Miroku...I need to talk to you, could you come over for a little while?”

Kagome had decided after the enjoyable coffee that the kitchen was in desperate need of stocking for the weekend. Sesshomaru knew of a small grocery store in town not too far from where they were. They drove to the store after Kagome made her list.

Kagome insisted that she cook something for them both. Sesshomaru was only too happy to oblige to a dinner cooked by the woman he had come to enjoy so much. She smiled as she rummaged through spices and picked up a loaf of french bread and pasta sauce. He smiled inwardly at the thought of her cooking an Italian dinner. She seemed to have a flare for enjoying foreign dinners and meals in general. He liked that about her, she was different from everyone around her, her very aura seemed so inviting and full of caring and endearing qualities that all combined for a just and rather large heart, so full of compassion and innocence. His mind quickly raced to more wanton thoughts as he watched her pick up a fresh basket of strawberries, whip cream, and shortcakes. He raised an eyebrow at her. She continued to spark his interest when she picked up two rather nice bottles of wine.

“This is for desert you hentai.” She laughed.

He continued staring at her as if he had no clue what she was insinuating. But she knew better and slapped him playfully on the arm.

After they made their purchases they drove through the small town and Kagome suddenly yelped in surprise thus causing Sesshomaru to stop the car softly yet abruptly.

“Yes?” He asked.

“Ummm...could we stop in at that Antique store real quick, I really like Antique stores and I love American Tea cups and pots.” Her innocent smile was all she really needed to show him to get him to cave.

“As you wish.”

They walked into the old and very dense Antique store, the place was filled with every type of knick knack and odd and end fathomable. Sesshomaru could not quite understand peoples fascination with such trinkets. He could understand some Antiques, yet the ones in here held no real value or particular worth to him. Nevertheless he continued through the store behind Kagome. Her face told all he needed to know of what she saw and felt about this store. It held absolute fascination for her. She seemed delighted in every little tiny thing she picked up and examined. She finally came to a rather large assortment of tea pots and tea cups in a small area of the shop. She picked up each one giving it a rather long and strict scrutinizing look. Brows furrowed she moved the pot in all directions in her hand. She finally smiled until she examined the price of the delicate porcelain item. Her smiled turned into a small frown and she set it down.

“Okay, I am ready to go now.” She said with an over exuberant smile.

Sesshomaru looked down at the pot. “What about the pot?”

“Oh, it's not exactly what I was looking for.” She lied.

Sesshomaru quickly picked up the pot and looked on the underside reading the price of it. He smirked. She probably thought it to be too expensive. Foolish girl, as if this Sesshomaru would not purchase this and more to her hearts content. He thought. He placed the fragile Tea Pot in his hand and began walking towards the front of the store.

“Oh no Sess, please don't!” She pleaded.

He tuned around and smiled pleasantly at her.

“Kagome, do you not want this?”

Kagome sighed, “No...it is far too expensive and I am sure I could find another one for much less.”

“Such a frugal spender you are Kagome, I'm sure from the looks of this that it is rather old and probably hand made, such a copy is probably a fruitless venture, I suggest we purchase this one just in case.” He offered as he winked at her.

Kagome blushed and with one last attempt with her pleading eyes for him to put it down she followed him to the cash register. She couldn't believe he was about to spend over two hundred U.S. Dollars on a porcelain tea pot. She felt terrible accepting such an expensive gift from him. He paid for the item and placed the gently wrapped and bagged item in Kagomes hands and smiled. The lady at the register smiled at the couple and wished them a very nice day. Most certainly excited over probably one of her most profitable customers that afternoon.

When they arrived back to Sesshomaru's home Kagome began to place the items from the grocery store in the fridge and cabinets, and most of all the items for dinner were nicely placed around the counters for use in the near future. Sesshomaru couldn't believe how quickly she seemed to make herself at home. He secretly loved it though, he loved how comfortable she felt, it was an example of trust that warmed him to the core. He had never felt comfortable in anyone's home accept his own. He was happy to know it would not be as difficult for her. His thoughts were startled by the loud rummaging of a plastic bag near him. Kagome was unraveling the lightly wrapped tea pot he had purchased for her. He watched as she turned it over and over in her hands delicately, a smile danced on the ends of her lips, giving away the happiness she felt for this tiny little trinket. Sesshomaru laughed aloud.

“I knew you wanted it.”

Kagome cupped the tea pot to her chest and laughed nervously.

“I...well, yes I wanted it but I couldn't possibly afford to purchase it. Sesshomaru however can I pay you back?”

His lips curled in a rueful smile of sorts and he raised one elegant eyebrow at her. She furrowed her own brows and pursed her lips. She looked adorable in her defiant stance, looking as if his answer was most definitely of a very sexual nature. But he surprised her with his answer.

“I intend, on receiving that delicious dinner you promised me.” He smiled devilishly at her and winked again.

Kagome's eyes widened and she blushed. She shouldn't have thought him to be so dense as to only think such thoughts, but the way he had smirked at her had given her slight suspicion to assume that was the direction he was headed. Kagome sighed and placed the pot on the marble counter top facing the window above the sink. She continued to place more things around the kitchen and move about with great ease and comfort. Sesshomaru moved over to her as she placed a pan on the stove. His hands encircled her waist. She gasped as his strong arms held her close and his hair caressed her skin upon her arms so gently. She felt his warm breath against her ear, she sucked in her own as his lips grazed slowly across the shell of her ear, the very feeling and sound causing her to involuntarily shudder and and become deaf to all other sounds instantaneously.

“There are other ways, but I do not intend for them to be repayment, whatever I buy for you is only because I want to and not for anything you have done for me.” He whispered seductively.

Kagome froze in her spot only to melt into a puddle upon the gentle press of his lips against her neck. It was amazing what this man could do to her, cause her to freeze in such manner that she thought she might break with his tight embrace, only to become so hot under his touch that the feeling could only be reminded of the hot days in the California sun that actually made you yearn for more. It was a comfortable feeling, an enticing feeling, and she yearned for more.

After Kagome had begun cooking dinner Sesshomaru decided to pull the car into the garage due to the expected heavy rain. As Kagome cooked she watched from the kitchen window as far off in the distance the surf crashed over the highway. When Sesshomaru came back in, the wind howled through the house.

“Wow, it's really bad out there?”

“Yes it seems to be, although I have never seen this area with quite so much green vegetation, it would be a pity not to enjoy it, even in such weather.” Sesshomaru explained as he brushed the light rain off his black coat.

Kagome watched as he placed his coat in the hall closet, she watched as droplets of water fell from his long silver hair. She often wondered how a man could keep such long hair so beautiful. She was almost envious of he and Inuyasha. She made a mental note to check Sesshomaru's bathroom for his hair care products.

Sesshomaru walked over to the simmering pot of pasta and other pots filled with delightful aromas.

“This smells very good.”

Kagome swatted his hand with her wooden spoon.

“Yes it does, now stay out of it, it's not ready yet.” She quipped.

He raised one defiant eyebrow at her and moved across the kitchen to the wine fridge and pulled out a bottle of Pinot Grigo.

“Will this be suitable for dinner?”

Kagome glanced over at his choice and smiled, “Why Sess, that is a perfect choice.”

“Of course it is, this Sesshomaru knows.”

“I see your arrogance has returned.” She said sarcastically as she giggled.

“Arrogance? Why Kagome, are you taunting me?”

“No! I am simply reminded of the Sessomaru I once knew so long ago.” She yelped as she saw him coming straight for her.

As soon as he made his way to her she dropped the wooden spoon on the ground. His lips pressed softly and seductively against hers leaving promises of what was to come.

After dinner they enjoyed a nice conversation regarding how he came to purchasing this home. She thought it might be something special and important, or maybe significant but it was only something he found through a small real estate company he had obtained. He noticed the house and the location and thought it the perfect abode for himself. A home away from everything. He called it.

Kagome got up to take the fresh cut strawberries out of the fridge and began scooping them unto a plate atop the short cakes. She pulled out the homemade whip cream she had made and began placing generous dollops of cream on top of her concoction. Sesshomaru watched her with bated breath, the smell of strawberries and cream reminded him of her very scent and before he realized what he was doing he had moved behind her as she finished her fine dessert making. She moved to place the bowl of silk whip cream on the island table but he was in her way. Kagome squealed and laughed in surprise.

“Want it that bad do you?”

Sesshomaru chuckled, “You have no idea.”

Kagomes eyes widened and she made a move to place the whip cream on the table, he caught her arm and took the bowl from her and gently set it next to him, never taking his eyes from hers. He smirked and watched as her deep blue eyes and perfectly round pupils ran back and forth focusing on one eye to the next. He quickly pulled her closer and hauled her up onto the counter top causing the dessert to scoot to the side. Kagome smiled and placed a hand in one of the dessert bowls. He watched as she swirled a small piece of strawberry into the whip cream and placed it to his lips. As he opened his mouth she teasingly pulled away. He once again lifted a sexy eyebrow in retort as if questioning her motives and suddenly caught completely off guard she began moving the strawberry and whip cream seductively over his lips. Her eyes focused on her ministration and her mouth was slightly open in concentration, her soft, fleshy, pink tongue just in small view. Sesshomaru absentmindedly started to lick his lips. Kagome quickly caught him and began to slowly lick them for him. His eyes widened at the touch. He quickly grabbed her and pulled her closer into a bruising kiss. Kagome pulled back to feed him the strawberry. She watched as he chewed the delightful morsel in his mouth. She then took his finger and dipped it in the bowl.

Sesshomaru knew where this was going and he was beginning to groan in anticipation for it. He watched as she slowly and sensually placed his index finger into her mouth and began her slow torture upon said digit. His hips began to gyrate against hers in a very instinctual manner. She gave back his nudge with a teasing buck from her own hips. As she slowly finished licking his finger clean she pulled it slowly from her hot, wet, and enticing mouth. He moaned in a whisper as she pulled away. At that moment he lost all semblance of control. He threw care to the wind. He knew she might get upset over the mess they might make but he really didn't care at this point and it seemed to him that she had initiated the reaction so why should he be at fault for what she started. He possessively pulled her close and began to devour her mouth. The passion seemed to multiply as Kagome's hands began to roam over his chest attempting the feat of undressing him with closed eyes. He pushed into her body more and Kagome placed one hand upon the counter to steady herself, the result was her hand slipping causing one of the plates of dessert to crash upon the floor. Neither seemed to notice as they struggled through clothing to reach each others warm flesh as if the immediate feel of it could save their very lives. The sound of heavy breathing and moist lips moving across skin was the only sound heard by the two lovers. He pulled Kagomes top from her body and began to quickly undo her bra straps all the while sending electrifying kisses down her throat. Kagome moaned and bucked in response. As the clasp released he watched it flutter to the floor, his eyes moved back up to her supple breasts already taut and erect with excitement. He cupped one mound as his lips began to caress the other one. Kagome whispered incoherent words as she moved towards his slacks and began to undo the button and lower the zipper. Sesshomaru helped her along with the task as he placed sweet kisses on her face and neck. Kagome's giggles and laughter felt like music to his ears and her searing flesh on his felt so good. He reveled in the feeling of her hands on his arms, grasping his firm muscles tightly as she positioned herself against his silky steel shaft, he grasped her small waist in his hands and pulled her up against him to gently impale her upon his throbbing member. As he teasingly held her and played at her wet entrance she mewed and moaned in desperation for him to enter her fully.

“Do you want me Kagome?”

Kagome lifted her heavy lids revealing half glazed and very lustful blue eyes. They stared at him in surprise and slight confusion, as if he needed to really ask such a question. Then as soon as the look had appeared it was quickly replaced with a more confident smirk.

“Do you want me Sesshomaru?” She asked mockingly.

Sesshomaru smiled, the smile that meant trouble. He pulled her roughly against him thus causing his member to fully penetrate to her deepest center. She gasped aloud at the action holding on even tighter to his arms. He grunted low and began to slowly move against her in a fluid motion. Kagome moaned in pleasure, happy he finally filled her wanting desire, he began to move a little quicker inside her, each thrust a little deeper then the one previous. Kagome couldn't help the moans and gasps that fell from her lips. He watched her breasts bounce and smooth against his skin as he buried himself inside her over and over again. Her nipples erect and taut with excitement over the soft brush over his firm chest. He picked her up and moved her against the large wood paneled wall next to the counter top, never leaving the confines of her tight cavern, he leaned her roughly against the wall, causing a smack to resound off the walls. She grunted and smirked, he started his slow torture on her core again. He quickly pulled out of her leaving just the tip of his manhood within the folds. She whined in retort. He smirked at her.

“I'll ask you again Kagome, Do you want me?”

She couldn't protest, she was weak now, he knew just when to get her to cave to his whims.

“Yes Sesshomaru.”

“Yes what?” He growled possessively.

“Yes I want you Sesshomaru.” She said aloud amongst heavy breathing in anticipation of his next move.

He continued his grueling effect upon her body, inching slowly into her. Her whimpers giving him ample opportunity to tease her entrance further. Kagome was on the brink of insanity. She wanted him back inside her immediately, she couldn't control her pelvic thrusts in his direction. He chuckled lightly at her demands.

“Please Sesshomaru...please...” She whined in half screams and half whispers.

Sesshomaru gave her blue pleading eyes one more glance before pounding deeply into her, causing a loud scream of pleasure to emit for her mouth. When she begged like that he couldn't resist, he really didn't know why he was teasing her, maybe to test his own will and maybe her own perhaps, he wanted to feel her desire for him. He liked the response he received from her. It made him want it all the more. As he progressed in the dance he pressed deeper and deeper into her. Her screams were beautiful, sexy, encouraging. He began to breathe harder, his hands gripped her hips tightly. Kagome's nails dug into the flesh of his perfectly chiseled arms. They began to grind in unison as they both were reaching climax steadily. Sesshomaru felt Kagome's walls tighten upon his member, he knew she was ready, he stayed in tune with her body as the clenching became almost unbearable and the sweetest of whispers graced her soft lips.

“Ohh...yes...Sesshou...maru...!”

His own release came soon after her beautiful voice blessed the room with that enticing echo. He moaned against her cheek as he raggedly whispered her name over and over again as his seed spilled into her womb.

“Oh...Kagome...Ka..gome...”

She moved against his hips as if inviting all he could give her.

After the heavy breathing subsided and they quickly zipped pants back up and placed shirts back on, the sudden overwhelming smell of strawberries brought them back to reality, they both looked at each other and then down to the floor. Kagome laughed.

“Looks like we made a slight mess.”

“Indeed.”

She looked over the toppled cream bowl that somehow managed to fall on its side and spill over dripping into the sink beside it. Remnants of a plate of Strawberry Shortcake lay sprayed over the kitchen floor with tiny bits and pieces of broken ceramic. The residing desert plate left untouched and unscathed from earlier activities. Kagome quickly eyed the untouched delicacy with hunger and snapped back a glance at Sesshomaru. He smirked at her knowing full well what was on her mind. He gracefully snagged said plate from her too slow reacting fingers and away from her grasp. She looked up at him with surprise in her eyes.

He casually took the fork from the side of the plate and took a tiny morsel and placed it slowly into his mouth. Kagome gasped.

“It's too bad yours fell on the floor.” He said mischievously.

She laughed. “Sess, you better hand that over right now.”

“What are the consequences for such actions if I were not to give in to your demands?”

“Then I will be subject to severe force!” She said smiling.

“Severe force, I might like that.”

He chuckled as he placed another delicious bite of the dessert in his mouth. Kagome widened her eyes.

“Can't we at least share?”

“Kagome, look where sharing got us last time, if you don't mind I certainly won't deter your request, but I promise nothing.”

Kagome raised an eyebrow and decided for a much easier ploy to get her way. She suddenly huffed and shrugged her shoulders. He quickly looked at her as he slipped the fork slowly from his lips after his previous bite. She caught his eyes with hers and gave him her very best pouty face, lower lip jutted out in a sour frown, her eyes caved on the corners and her eyebrows wrinkled in the cutest most unbelievable suck up he had ever witnessed. He sighed loudly and handed over the plate. Kagome smiled with glee over her win and began to take simple bites of the tasty dessert she had created. He watched every morsel she consumed with longing. Longing for those luscious lips, not that the desert wasn't desirable but her lips had a taste all their own, and he yearned to kiss them over and over again. She suddenly placed the plate back in his hands. The dessert only slightly gone.

“Thank you, thats all I wanted.” She smiled genuinely. She rubbed her hands against her jeans and began picking up the mess on the floor. Sesshomaru shook his head over their cute play.

He chuckled and placed the plate down to assist her in cleaning the remnants of their rather abrupt love making session in the kitchen. He knew he'd never look at this kitchen in the same way again. He loved her willingness to do it whenever, wherever. He wondered if she might want to become part of the “mile-high” club on the way back home. A devious smile curled upon his lips as his wanton thoughts conjured interesting situations for the two. Kagome had no idea what she had created within Sesshomaru.

Hahah! Hoped you guys enjoyed a little fun romp in the kitchen. More to come soon!
