The Power of Seven

Chapter Twenty-Four

**** Day Twenty-Five ****


Kagome felt both men tense when she walked into the training room. She couldn't blame them, everyone was still walking on eggshells around her. The sadness was still there but she was learning to deal with it. She hadn't meant to hurt anyone, not only had she hurt Sango but she damn near killed Rin as well. Dwelling on it would only bring it all back, she didn't have time for it now. She'd done enough crying in Sango's arms, she'd be alright. Who was Hiei to say that she wasn't worth loving? She had people who did love her, so he was wrong. Maybe no man had fallen in love with her yet but she was still young and would remain so for a long time.

If she never found that type of love with a man, she'd still live her life to the fullest. She wasn't a quiter, she wouldn't let someone hurt her with words when he knew nothing about her. He had no idea what she'd seen or been through, who the hell was he to judge her? Sano might not love her but he did seem to want her for now. Besides she wasn't looking for love right now, that could wait till later. Now she had a bad guy to stop.

She felt both of them watching her, staring was more like it. "Please stop, I'm not going to jump out the window." She sat down on the floor, leaning against the wall. Seemed she'd interrupted their training, Yomi had said the real practice was to begin today. They were to start trying to combine the energy. She watched when they turned back to each other. Hiei was instructing Sano on what to look for, she listened intently so she'd know what to do when her turn came.

Hiei waited patiently for Sano to get the idea. His mind went over to the miko watching the man, guilt washed over him. He wanted to kick himself for his harsh words. If he had known he'd never have opened his mouth. He'd let his emotions get the better of him because he didn't know how to deal with them. He wasn't use to them, it left him confused and pissed off. There was no getting around it, he cared about her. He'd never admit it to her or anyone else though.

Knowing he'd pushed her to the breaking point wasn't knowledge he wanted to accept. He'd been lying to her, wanting to lash out. Sano had spoken to him this morning, finally admitting how he felt. He confided in Hiei that he knew that they'd been together but he loved the girl. Hiei hadn't been sure what to tell him but refrained from fighting, knowing it would only cause her more pain. Even if Sano loved her as he claimed, he couldn't see just handing her over to the man.

His instincts demanded that he keep the girl, she was his mate. He wouldn't deny Sano the right to be with her either but would she accept both of them in her life? Right now he knew she wouldn't want him in her life, not after what had occured between them. Would she forgive him in time and be able to get past it? He hadn't know that his words would cause her that much pain. How was he suppose to know about that fool hanyou?

**** Lemon Warning ****

Shizuru walked into the bedroom, once again it was just her and Kenji. Kurama had left their training session early today saying he was going to lay down in order to patrol tonight. She wasn't sure if she bought it but it wasn't her concern. Her eyes fell to the mat he was fixing, planning to sleep another cold night on the hard floor. "You know you could always share the bed with me, it's way more comfortable."

Kenji turned to her and blushed, "I couldn't do that, it wouldn't be proper." He turned back around to finish up the job. There was no way for him to share the bed with her. He might have morals but he wasn't a saint. Her laughter filled the room, she found it funny. They were becoming closer with each passing day but he wouldn't feel right making advances towards her.

"Come on, there's no need for you to sleep on the floor when there plenty of room on the bed. If it makes you feel better I'll leave some clothes on." Shizuru walked over to the dresser to switch off the lamp, she wasn't going to beg him. She made her way to the bed, barely making out his figure standing up then walking over to the bed.

She climbed under the covers as he did the same. His intake of breath was heard as she made her way over to him. They were a couple now so she saw nothing wrong with cuddling. Her head was placed on his chest, his heartbeat pounded in her ear. He'd told her enough about himself for her to know he was still a virgin. Of course he'd be nervous lying in bed with her, he'd have to get over that. She didn't think her wanting anything to happen made her a bad person. In this day in age women half her age had already slept with dozens of men. So far she'd only expierenced two men, one of them being Kurama. From the looks of things Kenji would now be a permanent part of her life, so it wasn't wrong if she wanted him. There was no hope of her having a relationship with Kurama and she cared about Kenji. It wasn't the same as her feelings for Kurama but were just as strong.

Kenji closed his eyes, willing himself to go to sleep. She was so close to him, his nerves were on the edge. He wasn't sure if she would ever want to cross that line of becoming more and he wasn't the type to try and seduce a woman. Even if he wanted to, he had no idea how to go about it. His knowledge was very limited, never having actually performed the act. He jerked when her hand ran to the edge of his shirt, to play with the material. Fingertips were now running along his bare stomach, bringing the shirt up.

Shizuru almost smiled, she was going to be the one doing the seducing. It was an odd change, she didn't think it would take much. She placed her mouth on the flat of his stomach, running her tongue over the soft skin. Her eyes glanced down to see the tell-tale sign of his erection, he was already excited. The next thing her mouth found was a tiny nipple, biting down softy. He moaned but kept his hands to himself, she'd see how long that lasted.

From experience she knew that it being his first time he wouldn't last long before he got off. There was a way to take care of that problem, she started to descend. Placing small kisses back down his chest, trailing her tongue over him. His hips left the bed when her hands grabbed ahold of the pants, undoing the tiestring. He wore nothing under them, saving her the trouble of removing underwear. Her gaze took in what he had to offer, he wasn't as endowed as Kurama but was a little over average.

Shizuru wrapped her fingers around him, he jerked under the touch. His moans echoed the movement of her touch. Wanting him to experience more before he found completion, her head lowered. A hand fisted in her hair as she ran her tongue over the tip, licking off the pre-cum that had gathered. It was salty, she sucked on the head, bringing more out. His hips lifted trying to push further into her mouth. Knowing what he wanted even if he didn't, she opened her mouth and took him in.

Knowing he'd cum soon, she picked up her speed using her tongue as she sucked on him. The sounds coming from him were loud enough to fill the room, anyone walking down the hall would be able to hear him. She relaxed her throat taking as much as she could in. In under a minute his hot seed shot out hitting the back of her mouth. Not wanting to gag, she swallowed the salty fluid. After he was done she ran her tongue over the tip, licking him clean. She smiled seeing he'd only went semi-soft, shouldn't take much to get him hard again.

Kenji was too stunned to speak, that had felt nothing like the few times he'd pleasured himself. The orgasm had been intense, he still throbbed from it. His eyes rolled back in his head feeling her mouth latch back onto him. Her mouth was pleasuring him again, his groin was starting to blaze once more. The hard length was being licked by her hot tongue.

Shizuru climbed back up his body once he was ready. Her hands went to work removing her clothes while he watched with wide eyes. That done she seated herself on his lap, pressing herself against him. She leaned over to capture his mouth, he didn't seem to mind the taste of himself. His tongue licked the flavor off her lips. She moaned feeling his hands latch on both breasts, squeezing gently. He broke away from the kiss, leaning up far enough to place a nipple in his mouth. The tiny bud was being assaulted without mercy, pulling at the tiny cords attached to her center. Not wanting to wait any longer, she reached between them to place him. His shoulders stiffened as she lowered herself down on him.

Kenji let her have complete control, he let the feeling take him. He brought his hands forward to caress her breasts as she rode him. The feel of her wrapped around him was pulling another orgasm from his body. His eyes lingered over her face, her eyes were closed, her head slightly tilted back. A loud moan escaped her lips, then he felt her walls tighten around him. She picked up her speed as she clenched him, his hips left the bed.

Shizuru felt the begining of her release. Hands went around her waist and he began to move under her. He was thrusting up to meet her, she felt the tension snap. As she came down from her high, she could feel him throbbing inside her. He sat up to wrap his arms around her back placing his head against her chest. Her chin rested on his head, his breathing still labored.
