That’s when the smell of tears reached his nose, he managed to prop himself up with his elbows to see a slightly ‘curvy’ woman in her early to mid twenties wearing a white kimono with off white flowers patters sewn onto it and a pale lilac obi, white hair, and her face buried in his chest and to top it off she was sobbing. With his heightened senses he also heard her gently whispering into is chest between sobs, “I….can’t believe….your…finally…..back…I…always new you would……” Inuyasha raised an eyebrow, did this rather beautiful woman know him from somewhere. “Woman are you O….” He took a sniff and his eyes got slightly wider, then another sniff and his eyes even got wider. He took one more sniff before he sat up fully, the woman still clinging to him so she ended up sitting in between his crossed legs. He used two fingers to gently lift her face to meet his and was met by a pair teary of lilac eyes, and smiled “Shiori......”

Chapter Three: Questions Asked, Questions Answered


Shiori was coming back from another trip to her Mother’s grave, it had been a little over eight years since her mother died but she still missed her very much. Since she was a half demon she had been ostracized from the town and not even the demon bats would accept her, so she was all alone. Her mother had taught her how to hunt for meat and what plants were good to eat and what one weren’t and she had even learned to put up a barrier even with out the blood crystal, but still even after all that improvement she still wasn’t accepted by anyone and all because she was half human and half demon. She sighed before her mind started to wander to another half demon, one she still thought about even today over twenty years later….

~flashback~

Inuyasha killing Taibokumaru, then Taibokumaru’s spirit coming out of the blood crystal, then Taibokumaru’s spirit bouncing off the barrier out up by Shiori’s father’s spirit, then Inuyasha leaving with out saying a word after his sword turned red.

~end flashback~

She rested her head in her hand, sighed and continued walking. “Even if I was to meet him again one day it’s not like he would remember me, I was just a child back then. Not to mention he is probably already mated to that oddly dressed human woman that was with him, they did seem close.” She gave another heavy sigh before turning on to the path that led to her cave. Her mind wandered back to Inuyasha and she blushed deeply when she thought of the things that they would do together if they were mated. Luckily her mother had given her ‘the talk’ several years before she died. And she told her everything that she knew of bat demon mating rights from what her husband had told her before they mated. She blushed again before she made it to the halfway point and stopped.

She could sense that there was someone already in her cave and they weren’t weak either, not at all. She began to sniff the air, her nose wasn’t as sensitive as a bat demon’s but it was still better than a human’s. Not to mention that she had a good memory when it came to smells. When she finally picked up Inuyasha’s scent she nearly fell over but caught herself at the last second. *No………it couldn’t be…….* She took several more deep breaths through her nose to be positive, *YES!!! IT IS!!!! It really is him…….I……..I don’t believe it!!!* She screamed in her mind. She slowly made her way to the cave entrance, her legs barley able to move.

When she finally made it to the cave entrance and saw him with his back turned to her she gasped and ran towards him. Tears now flowing from her eyes, she flung her arms around his chest and held on tight as he fell. She buried her face in his upper chest and began to sob, whispering in between sobs, ““I….can’t believe….your…finally…..back…I…always new you would……” She held on as she felt him shift to a sitting position. She looked up when she felt two clawed fingers lift up her chin and her lilac eyes met his gentle pools of amber, “Shiori….” When Inuyasha spoke her name she let him go and then grabbed hold of the front of his clothes and dug her face back into his chest, “Oh, Inuyasha…..” she cried into his chest in a low voice.

Inuyasha sighed and placed a hand on her mid back and on the other on the back of her head as he brought her into a gentle embrace, he hated it when people cried, especially women; he never really was any good at comforting people. “Shiori?” he asked in a soft and gentle tone. “I-I can’t believe you’re here after all this time. Is it r-really you Inuyasha?” She asked; her face still buried in his chest. He sniffed her to make sure she wasn’t sick, once he was sure he smiled and embraced her a little more; “Yes it’s really me. Why are you crying Shiori? Is something wrong?” He asked in the same gentle tone, concern could also be heard in his voice. She looked up at him and rubbed the rest of the tears out of her eyes, “I just can’t believe it’s really you.” She said as she rested her head on his shoulder, unconsciously deeply sniffing him; taking in his scent. Inuyasha turned light pink when he felt her do that. *Could she have feelings for me after all this time? Not to mention the fact that I haven’t visited even once after all this time.*

“Are you sure you’re OK?” he asked as he shook off the blush. “She smiled and nuzzled into his chest, “I am now that you’re here Inuyasha…….” The words had slipped out before she had time to stop them and at that point they both blushed a nice shade of red. They stayed like that for several more minutes before Shiori broke the embrace and stood while trying to stutter out an excuse for her actions. Inuyasha chuckled as he got up and brushed himself off. “It’s ok, I didn’t mind.” she blushed again, “O-OK, what are you doing here any way? I was beginning to think that you had forgotten me.” Inuyasha laughed weekly before coughing and regaining his composure, “I was traveling when I caught the scent of the bat demon cave and decided to stop by; I figured that I should after so long.” He decided to leave out the incident at the headman’s house.

He took a step back so he could actually get a good look at her. Her eyes met his chin, her hair fell down to her lower back now and her breasts looked to be of very descent size. He snapped out of his slight daze that her body had up him in when he saw her shift uncomfortably under his gaze. he was about to speak when she beat him to it, “Would you like something to drink? Tea or I could go into town and get some sake if you want some.” she said nervously. Inuyasha smiled before walking closer to her and gently placing his hand on her shoulder, “Relax tea will be fine, thank you.” She could only nod in reply after Inuyasha placed his hand on her shoulder. Inuyasha sat down at the small table that she had and Shiori joined him shortly after with a tray that had a tea pot and two small carved stone cups on it. She handed him a cup with tea already in it before serving herself.

They sat there drinking in silence for a few minuets before Inuyasha spoke up, “I can see that the villagers haven’t kept their word. So how long until did you stay in the village before they kicked you and your mother out?” he asks in a slightly irritated tone. Shiori sighed before replying, “It was only two years after you left.” she said in a low tone with her head down. Inuyasha had to restrain himself from slamming his fist through her only table. But he wasn’t able to stop the deep growl to emit from his chest which caused Shiori to jump. “I’m sorry Shiori.” Inuyasha said while pouring himself another cup of tea. Shiori smiled, “Its ok, you didn’t scare me that much.” She said in a cheery tone, trying to change the mood of the room, while taking another sip. “No, I mean I’m sorry I didn’t come back to check on you sooner.” he said while looking down. She looked at him as he shifted his head, just in time to see the sadness on his face, *He really fells bad about that doesn’t he?*

“Well you’re here now and that all that matters.” she said with a smile. Inuyasha looked up, their eyes met and he smiled too, “Your right, so how have things been for you since I left.” They spent the next two hours talking about the good times and bad in Shiori’s past. Inuyasha was really impressed when he found out how strong of a barrier she could put up and at her hunting skills considering he could smell that she was nowhere near in short supply of meat. But when the conversation shifted to her mother the mood shifted back to a sad/angry one, especially when Inuyasha found out that she had been completely alone for almost nine years now. After an uncomfortable silence of several minuets Shiori decided to change the subject yet again. “Enough about me, how have you been? I mean I know it’s been a little over twenty years now but I would have thought that you would be traveling with at least one member of your old group.” she asked as she poured another cup for herself.

“Well Miroku, the monk, got married to Songo, the woman with the giant boomerang, and took Kirara, the fire cat with them and moved into Songo’s old village and restored it after we finished the Sacred Shikon Jewel which is also where I left the Shikon Jewel, considering that’s where it originally came from I figured that there was no safer place for it.” Shiori simply smiled and nodded, “As for the little fox demon Shippo, last I heard he went looking for and found a friend of his named Souten and he is still living with her.” “Well good for them.” She said in reply as she poured him another cup and then poured herself one too, then as she brought the cup up to her mouth to take a drink she looked down at the cup and just before she drank she asked, “And what about that oddly dressed human female that was with you, weren’t you two ‘together’?”

Inuyasha looked up with a surprised look on his face, “Well kind of, you see a little while after we completed the Shikon Jewel she decided to go home and not return for ‘personal’ reasons.” As soon as he said that, Shiori felt a pool of warmth begin to grow in her lower stomach. *YES!!! That means that I have a chance. Now all I have to do is show him that I like him with out making a complete idiot out of myself.* She was brought out of her deep thought by the sound Inuyasha’s voice. “Huh?” she said as she shakes her head and looks up at Inuyasha, Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow, “Are you positive that you are OK Shiori? You’ve been acting kind of odd.” “Yeah, I was just thinking.” she said as she looked down so Inuyasha couldn’t see her slight blush, that’s when her eyes fell upon his ‘new’ sword. “So Inuyasha, when did you get that second sword?” Unfortunately it was Inuyasha who was lost in deep thought this time.

His oh so sensitive nose had picked up on the spike in Shiori’s scent when he told her that Kagome left and decided not to return, *She became aroused when I told her that Kagome wasn’t coming back, add that to how she has been acting, what she said earlier and that deep sniff and nuzzle……….she actually has feelings for me, but do I have feelings for her? She does look really good and she has gotten pretty strong and she knows how to hunt well, she would definitely bare any male strong pups……….but I don’t want her to mate with me just because I’m Lord of the Western Lands. I know I won’t tell her until after we mate, that way she will know that even though I’m such an important person and that I could have my choice of any number of women, that I choose her and her alone to be my………….* He was the one this time to be brought out of deep thought by Shiori calling his name, “Inuyasha, I said when did you get that second sword of yours?” she said, pointing at the Tensaiga. Inuyasha laughed weakly again before standing and offering Shiori a hand up, “How about you go get washed up in the river while I make us some dinner.” Shiori looked up in shock, her previous question erased from his mind.

*Did he just offer to make US dinner? Did he actually just do that?* She shakily placed her hand in his and her cheeks turned pink as his clawed fingers cover her hand as he helped her up with ease. “T-Thank you, that w-would b-be n-nice.” She managed to stutter out as she picked up one of her makeshift towels and headed towards the cave. It took her about ten minuets before she found a secluded enough spot and started to undress. Once fully disrobed she slowly makes her way to where the water is waist high before moving to a sitting position and dunking her head under the water. When she comes up she is still standing waist high and uses her hands to slick back her hair, “Ah that feels so good. I still can’t believe that Inuyasha is ACTUALLY making US dinner in MY cave. Oh Kami, I think I’m going to faint.” She said to herself as she rested her back on the rock near her. She picked up a rock with a smooth side and beginan rubbing it on her skin to clean herself starting with her arms and moving up.

“Does this mean that he wants to stay with me or is it that he feels bad for not showing up after all this time? Well…. He did ask out of the blue, I mean it wasn’t like my stomach was growling and he did look really sad after he apologized for not showing up for so long, so maybe he does have feelings for me. Gods, all I want right now is arms around me, holding me, touching me, caressing me……….” She trailed off as her hands made it to her breasts, dropping the rock she was using and her hands were now rolling a nipple between her thumb and index finger while using her other hand to gently squeeze the other breast. She kept going like this until her hands switched positions, soft moans and mewls escaping her mouth, fantasizing that it was Inuyasha doing his to her and not herself.

Slowly her hand crept its way to between her legs and began rubbing the little bundle of nerves at the top of her slit that she rubbed every other time she fantasized about being with Inuyasha. She began rolling it between her thumb and index finger while at the same time doing the same thing with her nipple. “Oh yes, right there Inuyasha, right there.” she moaned. He hand left her breast and made its way to her slit with the other one and began to caress and play with her folds causing her to throw her head back and moan deeply. She parted her folds with her spare fingers from the hand that was playing with her nub and inserted a finger into her core, making her gasp. She bit her lip as she inserted another finger and began pumping her fingers into her whiles still playing with her nub. She moaned deeply as she imagined Inuyasha taking her innocence and thrusting his manhood deep within her. She began thrusting her fingers faster and faster, making sure not to actually take her innocence on her own, that was for her mate or mate to be that is.

She slowly entered a third finger and moaned darkly between gasps. She began to trace little circles on her bundle of nerves with her fingers and began moving her fingers around while thrusting into her. When she pinched the nub she couldn’t hold it back any longer, her inner walls clenched around her fingers and she climaxed screaming Inuyasha’s name and arching her back, causing her breasts to fly up out of the water before falling back down into the water. After coming back down to earth Shiori finished up her bath and got out of the water, remembering that Inuyasha was making them dinner. She sighed as she began to start drying off, “If only it really was him. But I don’t want to come off like some whore.” She sighed again, “I’ll wait until tomorrow, that way I’ll know enough to see if he really does like me.” She said to her self as she began to get dressed.

Back at the cave and Inuyasha………

Inuyasha lifts a spoon to his lips to taste the stew he made, “Mmm, not as good as Kaede’s used to be but still pretty good.” He lowered the spoon back down and his mind wandered back to Shiori, to be more specific what he was thinking about earlier before he offered to make her dinner. *She has been alone for so long and I know from experience that its only going to get worse from here because he is a half demon, but she is very strong and very beautiful……but we just met after TWENTY YEARS, do I really have these feelings for her. She does seem to actually ‘like’ me that’s something that hasn’t happened in a long time, not to mention that we are both half breeds so we have a lot more in common that most people so maybe I should ask her to be my mate before she slips through my fingers. Argh!!!! But it’s so soon!!!!! I don’t want to come on to strong just to scare her away. I’ll wait until she is ready before I ask her, that way it will be her decision, either way I’m not letting her spend one more day alone, mate or not, she will not have to go through what I went through as a child, I SWEAR IT!!!!* Inuyasha looked down to see that he unknowingly had snapped the stone spoon in his hand. “Wow I really do care for her……” he sighed and began to set the table after disposing of the broken spoon.

He had just finished putting stew in the bowl intended for Shiori when she came back. Inuyasha looked up and smiled causing Shiori to turn light pink. Inuyasha smiled wider then stretched out his hand toward the seat across from him, “Sit, dinner is served.” She took his hand lightly and sat down, “Thank you.” she said as Inuyasha sat down. They ate in silence, every now and then their eyes would meet and they would look away or one would catch the other smiling at them causing the one who saw the smile to blush. They finished dinner at sun set and Shiori walked to the cave entrance to watch the sun fall behind the main demon bat cave.

She was surprised and tensed up when Inuyasha came up from behind her and snaked his arms around her waist, resting them on her stomach, her back on his chest. She placed her hands on his and relaxed into the gentle embrace and relaxed even further when he fell into a sitting position as the sun fell behind the apex of the cave and the sky began to become different shades of purples and maroons. She had been alone for so long and now she was in the arms of the one person that she wanted to be in the most, she was not going to pass this up and that this only further convinced her that he indeed had deeper feelings for her besides that of pity and remorse. They remained like that until the stars had lit up the sky, not saying anything just enjoying each others warmth and company. Inuyasha looked down at Shiori as she shifted in his lap, her soft rear end rubbing up against his already slightly hard shaft; thank the gods his pants were baggy and had folded over in just the right way.

He watched as she rested the side of her head against his chest and smiled thinking, *Gods she is so beautiful, and the way we fit together so perfectly, not to mention how she relaxed into my embrace so quickly and with out resistance………..that’s it I cant take it any more. I have to ask her.* “Hey Shiori.” Inuyasha said in a soft voice while gently moving his shoulder trying to get her attention. “Hmm?” was her only response, not opening her eyes yet. “I have a question to ask you.” Inuyasha said in the same soft voice, a hint of uncertainty in his voice as well. She shifted her position slightly so she could hear and speak more clearly but still didn’t open her eyes. “Yeah? What?” Inuyasha took a deep breath before… “Would you consider becoming my mate Shiori?”

Shiori’s eyes shot open and she held her breath and tensed up, *did he just ask me what I think he just asked me?* Inuyasha felt her tense up and his ears fell slightly, “Shiori?” he said in a slightly softer voice. She turned around to face him, not breaking the embrace, “W-What d-did you j-just s-say?” she manages to stutter out, Inuyasha gulped before speaking, “Would you be my mate?” Tears of joy began to well up in her eyes, * YES, YES, YES!!!!!!!! OH GREAT KAMI YES!!!!!!!! HE ACTUALLY ASKED ME TO BE HIS MATE!!!!!!! YES!!!!!* She screamed in his mind. Inuyasha frowned and his ears fell even more when he saw her tears, “I-I’m so sorry Shiori I…..” and that was as far has he got because he was stopped by Shiori’s lips meeting his. Inuyasha’s eyes widened for a moment before he embraced her more and deepened the kiss just she broke it off, “That’s my answer.” was all she said before bringing their lips back together for an even more passionate kiss.

A/N: Well here is the third chapter; I decided to have more than one lemon and for the fist one to be Shiori solo. Sorry for taking so long but I was hit by hurricane Wilma and I just got t a house with power. I hope you enjoyed the first lemon, the next one will be in the next chapter and at least one more will come later. I know I wasn’t really descriptive about Shiori’s body but I am going to leave that for the next one. And I hope you like where I placed the rest of the characters, I’m thinking of giving dome of them (Miroku, Songo, Shippo, Souten and maybe even Koga……… grrrrrr I hate Koga with the passion of a thousand French lovers but every story need conflict right?) in the later chapters.

AND NOW THE REVIEWERS!!!

Jace :::: Thanx but just to clarify if you look back at chapter two you’ll read that Inuyasha was traveling after becoming the new Lord of the Western Lands and happened on the scent of the demon bat cave and remembered her but then he did decide to check on her so I guess technically we are both right.

InuShommaru :::: Actually I didn’t even know that you wanted someone to do that, I just came up with it after watching the episodes she was in but you’re welcome any way.

Puff ::: great to keep hearing from you, it’s nice to have a groupie. LoL.

Shadow Wolf :::: to tell you the truth I wasn’t really happy with the format my self but it’s easier to write in so that’s what I use, as for not enough OCCness, personally I like to keep it as much in character as I can.

madinuyashafan :::: Thanx and it’s going to get twistier and turnier as the story goes, but as for Kanna coming back........ no I don't thinks so, for some reason that just feels creepy. During the later chapters I DO plan to have a conflict but its more than likely going to be Koga because I hate him. I hate him a lot.

A/N: Ok I know that I’m taking a long ass time with this next chapter but that’s because it's longer than this one and then there is the fact that I was hit by Hurricane Wilma so please bare with me. I should have it up some time tonight and if not late tonight then tomorrow for sure.
