Boldly Going (where many have gone before)

Third Chapter out by Saturday at latest

Chapter 1:

Days before:

Kagome wouldn’t necessarily say she was frustrated except of course, that she was. Very, very terribly, horribly frustrated. Oh, there was the normal frustration. But then there was also sexual frustration. Burn in your loins I’ve waited much too long horniness, and a lot of it. She felt justified in it.

When they had defeated Naraku, there had been joyous delight. After the festivals and the happy drunkenness had passed, Sango announced rather joyously that she was pregnant with Miroku’s baby. While he may have turned an odd greenish colour as everyone clapped him on the back, it was nothing compared to the utterly nauseated look he had when the shotgun (er… Katana) wedding occurred. The one time he made to run led him to face a pissed off Inuyasha, ready to remove family jewels if that kept his sister-figure happy. Needless to say, Miroku returned willingly. And though he thought life as a reformed pervert would be hard, he was pleasantly surprised how easy it was being faithful to just one woman. And how painless (Now that Sango had an official claim to him, she hit a lot harder).

Kagome also received some lovin’. Or potential lovin’. Basically, in his drunken stupor, Inuyasha had sidled up to her, grabbed her into a huge hug and whispered “I really like you” into her ear. It was real, it was genuine, and his face looked like it was about to explode it was so red. And while the confession may have been because Kikyou, grateful and pleased with Kagome’s kindness, had exhorted Inuyasha to tell his feelings for the modern girl (this had nearly required her beating him over the head.)

And so things were happy for a time in the village. And then the noises began. Loud cries in the middle of the night, passionate and filled with lust. It was just bearable to human hearing, but after a week of no sleep and veiled hints about the SMELL, Inuyasha announced he was building Kagome and himself a hut nearer the well and away from the village. Pregnancy hormones had apparently hit Sango hard, and Miroku was happier than ever. Inuyasha glared at them in all his red-rimmed eyed glory.

The hut was finished quicker than anyone had expected, Kagome most of all. And while Sango urged her down the path, grinning at the thought of her best friend being able to share her pregnant experiences while Kagome wailed about having to finish high school and being only seventeen. And while Sango prattled on about how if they had children of the opposite sex they could get married, or of the same sex they could be best friends just like them sniff Kagome began to relax. And when Sango pried open her night bag and helped her get ready, letting Kagome slip into a sexy night gown before positioning her attractively on top of the futon. Sango left with a wink. Inuyasha entered, glanced at her appreciatively, and settled against the corner of the hut with his arms around Tessaiga. When she asked seductively if he was coming to bed, he had grunted that they were in bed and she had better get some sleep. No one believed that they hadn’t spent the night making sweaty, grunty love except for Sango and Higurashi-mama. Kagome was disappointed, and she hadn’t even received so much as a kiss. Inuyasha was either bloody oblivious or studiously ignoring any and all gossip related to their sex lives.

When Kagome was nineteen her grandfather, aware that her relationship with Inuyasha was going nowhere fast, suggested she go see a nakodo (marriage go-between), so that he might be able to see his great-grandchildren. Inuyasha, overhearing Kagome’s ensuing fight with her Jii-chan, did something drastic. Announcing, in private, that he really, really liked her and wanted her to be with him forever. And then, wonderfully, he kissed her. Their second kiss ever. She was happy, she was waiting to make it official, so she could have peace of mind and be with the one she loved forever. He. Did. Not. Make. A. Move.

Now at twenty-three, having kissed the love of her life a handful of times, Kagome Higurashi was beginning to doubt the sexuality of her beloved. Miroku, now finally believing that Kagome and Inuyasha had never done the nasty (No one would make up a story that dumb), hastily reassured Kagome that Inuyasha was indeed very attracted to her. Inuyasha was attracted to Kagome. Is. He is just… shy. Perhaps he is disturbed. But he wants Kagome a lot.

So, as omnipotent readers, we know all is not futile. Just very, very dumb. And as Kagome gathers her friends round to prepare a plan, no adorable dog eared hanyou named Inuyasha is ‘safe’ from mind-blowing sex. Pity him. Pity that poor poor virgin hanyou.

Next: The story actually begins! Brainstorming! Mind maps! Complicated plans! Operation: Seduce Inuyasha (Finally going where many have gone before) begins!


A/N: Updates will be sporadic from here on out. But never fear, I always have tests and midterms to avoid, so the next chapter should be up soon.
