April Fool for the fools

A/N - warning, slight lemony scene here.



Chapter IV:



Inuyasha looked at Kagome apprehensivley as she finished taking off all of his clothes and laying them in a neatly folded pile. He would ask her what the hell she was doing, but he didn't want to provoke her to do anything more than whatever it was she had planned.



Right now, he was kneeling, butt naked, with his hands trapped under a sealed stone statue.



Dammit. If and when he got out of this, Shippou would be knocked out for a whole month.



So absorbed in his thoughts about what he would like to do to the troublesome little kitsune, that he didn't notice Kagome kneeling behind him.



He sure as hell noticed though when her hand reached in between his legs and touched his ball sack.



"WOMAN! WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" he screeched nearly at the top of his lungs as Kagome tightly gripped his groin.



"Shush, Inuyasha. Yelling won't do you any good." replied Kagome as she removed her hand from his body and stood up.



He was glaring daggers at her as she grabbed up his clothes and walked off.



"You aren't leaving me here like this, are you?" he asked in a near whimpering tone of voice. She stopped and turned around to stare at him, her eyes wide with what he recognized as false innocence.



"If you want your clothes back, then I'll be at the local hot springs." replied Kagome before heading out of the clearing and into the forest.



Leaving him all alone.



Inuyasha began struggling fiercly now to free himself of the stone, but to no avial.



Then his senses began picking up a familiar presence, as the smell reached his nose.



'Aw dammit. Hell no, not him, not here, not now.' Inuyasha silently pleaded to whoever may be listening above in the heavens as he recognized the aura and scent.



Then he heard the shriek of a young female girl from behind him. Followed by a very familiar male voice.



"Rin, avert your eyes. Jaken, take her back to the camp." ordered Lord Sesshomaru as he took in the sight of the naked hanyou sitting bound to the ground with a sealed stone statue. Both his clothing and Tetsuiga were nowhere to be found.



Inuyasha's face turned crimson red with embarrasement as the dog demon lord walked around to stare face to face with him.



"I detect the scent of your female and the kitsune in the area. I take it they have something to do with this?" inquired Sesshomaru. To say that he was amused by the hanyou's state was a vast understatement.



"Yeah, something like that." he replied, his head bowed to the demon lord.



Sesshomaru responded by using his poison whip to dissolve both the seal and the stone statue, freeing the hanyou.



"Go, retrieve your clothes. The sight of your naked body both disgusts and disturbs me." said Sesshomaru as he turned away and headed back towards where Rin and Jaken had disappeared into the forest.



Growling low in his throat, Inuyasha took off into the forest, heading towards the hot springs...

Kagome arrived at the hot springs, nearly skipping. She was so happy at her performance and that of Shippou. The little kitsune may pay for it later, espically since the sutra beads were no longer around Inuyasha's neck, but Kagome would be sure to compensate him with plenty of extra ninja snacks.



The miko set down Inuyasha's clothes and swords on a rock next to the water, then stripped herself and entered the springs, sighing as the water eased her muscles and joints.



A rustling from the bushes behind her brought her out of her reverie.



Kagome sat up in shock as the hanyou came through, looking around before settling his gaze on her with a evil smile coming across his lips.



'How the hell did he escape so quickly? Did Shippou double cross me?' thought Kagome before Inuyasha answered her thoughts.



"Ka-go-me. You were barely gone when who else but Sesshomaru would happen upon me. Wench, you will pay dearly for the embarrasement and humilation that I had to suffer through." said Inuyasha in clenched teeth.



Despite his seething, Kagome could not contain the gales of laughter that escaped her lips when he mentioned Sesshomaru having seen him like this.



Her laughter had barely started when there was a splash in the water, followed by a clawed hand wrapping around her throat, squeezing hard.



Kagome gagged and coughed, trying to get air into her windpipe, but Inuyasha was squeezing too tightly.



So, she decided to do a little squeezing of her own.



Her hand found his ball sack again, and she gave it as hard a squeeze as she could manage. His eyes widened in confusion, then, seeing her face turning purple, released the hand he had around her throat.



Kagome gasped as she was able to breathe again, and released her hand. She then looked up at him with a hurt expression on her face. Inuyasha merely stared back at her with a still serious expression, but also mixed in with what? Regret? Longing?



She decided that her chance was now. Here they were, both standing naked in the hot springs. She reached up with both of her hands, and took hold of his head as she moved closer to him.



His ears twitched as his eyes widened.



With the two of them pratically making full body contact, Kagome tilted her head upwards, and proceeded to kiss Inuyasha, right on the lips....
