Kagome's dreamland wasn't anything special, but somehow she began to see sunshine in her dream. Her thoughts were somewhat incoherent and fuzzy, as they always were during sleep. She drifted off into a deeper slumber, diving into her aura. The usual comfort of a starry night was turning into a bright morning. The heat of the sun was chasing away the cold of the night. She felt her heart begin to beat faster, welcoming the warmth.

Squirming in her sleep, she tried to accommodate the growing heat. She felt an ache spread throughout her body. Her hips involuntarily bucked against her mattress. The pulse of her nether regions woke her up. She moaned as another quivering wave of arousal hit her. Her brain lacked judgment from just waking up, and soon her hand was pressing against her core. She ground her hips against her hand and the bed, the pressure becoming overwhelming.

Kagome woke up fully and gave a heavy sigh. There was no going back to sleep now. Groggily, she made her way to her bathroom to try and calm herself down.

…

Sesshomaru stepped into his bathroom and closed the door behind him. He discarded the last of his clothing - it was a relief to be free of his pants. He eyed his erection with dread and anticipation. This was all her fault. Kami, he hadn't even known her for a whole day.

He got in the shower and let the water run down his back. Adjusting it to a hotter setting, he gave a sigh as he let his body relax. His head was clearing with the hot steam filling the room. He readied his stance as he thought of her. He couldn't help but think of what it would be like to have her in his bed. The imaginary mewls of need made him twitch and throb. Sesshomaru remembered how soft her skin was; how she had pleaded with him. He let out a growl and let his instincts free. He gripped himself and let go of his aura.

…

Kagome stared at herself in the mirror. Her lips were swollen from biting them, and her face was flushed with the heat. She guiltily stripped down and tied her hair up. She would make it quick. Then she would be very tired and have no problems sleeping, right? She rummaged through her drawers and found her secret bag. Pulling out a small pink vibrator, she tested the batteries. Her body ached all over again.

Kagome stepped into her shower and started the water. This was a bad habit, she scolded herself as she thought of excuses. She really couldn't help it, it was all those hormones left over from high school. Besides, she hadn't helped herself in months - she was due for another session. She started massaging her body and imagined Sesshomaru's strong body against hers. She could almost feel his warmth.

Her breasts felt swollen, and she drew circles around her nipples. Reaching down she began teasing herself. Her aura flared and she tried to restrain her erratic breathing.

…

His hand gripped the base of his member and pumped slowly. Kami, he hadn't done this in so long. Sesshomaru put an arm above his head to brace himself as he leaned forward to face the tiled wall of the shower. He thrust into his hand and growled. He wanted to prolong this as long as he could. Maybe indulging himself now would allow himself to have better control of his instincts later. He started panting as he quickened the pace.

…

Kagome slid a finger in slowly and started a rhythm. She stifled a moan. Were Souta and her mother home yet? She thought she heard a door slam. Paranoid, she continued, regardless. She slid another finger in and curled them. She gasped as her body bucked forward, twisting her back. Kagome forced herself to stop to regain her breath and stretch out a cramped muscle in her thigh. She grabbed the vibrator and used both hands to pleasure herself. She groaned and clenched her jaw, trying to keep herself quiet.

…

Sesshomaru's pleasure suddenly grew tenfold, and he muffled a howl. Growling and panting, he allowed his instincts to take over and abandoned all thought. He only felt ecstasy taking over his brain. He shut his eyes tightly and started seeing stars.

…

Kagome was caught between restraint and letting go completely. She forced herself to stay as quiet as she could, and that meant not getting the orgasm she wanted. Her body tensed as the pressure started building up. Her hand was hurting. She was physically at her limit. Flecks of gold started to cloud her vision. She wanted to swallow something more satisfying than her fingers. Her inner walls clamped down on the vibrator and she held her breath. She lost herself in the warm sunrise she saw behind her eyes.

…

Golden expanse met starry night in an explosion. Sesshomaru's strength and what felt like part of his soul left him as he struggled to stand. He pumped himself a few more times before leaning against the wall. His eyes still closed, he saw a familiar meteor shower of frustration. He opened his eyes in surprise.

…

Kagome was exhausted. She had experienced what felt like half of an orgasm. Her body was still aching, but physically she couldn't seem to be able to hold onto the pleasure wave long enough to feel satisfied. It was like that every time. Every single time. Gasping as she felt her heart pounding, she stretched out her cramped legs and tried to catch her breath.

She shut her eyes, only to be blinded by light. Confused, she opened her eyes and looked around her bathroom. The water was still running, and the lights were still on, as normal. She closed her eyes again, and was stunned again by the warm bright light. Thoughts of surprise and curiosity met her conscious.

…

Sesshomaru was puzzled. Were his eyes playing tricks on him? He closed his eyes and saw nothing this time. He grumbled at himself and sighed. Perhaps he just missed her. The thought was appallingly sudden. Kami, he wouldn't be able to stop thinking about her at this rate.

He stepped out of the shower and proceeded to get dressed. Time for a bed.

…

Kagome sat on the bed, worrying. Kami, if what she felt was a trace of Sesshomaru's aura, how much had -he- felt? She didn't even have his number. Like she would know what to say if she did call. 'Oh I was just thinking of -you- while I masturbated.' Yeah, like that would go over well. Kami, imagine if he was flattered. Kagome hid her face in her pillow.

She thought back to her conversation with Kikyo. It would fade soon enough, she convinced herself. Kagome climbed under the covers and drifted off to sleep.

Soon enough, she hoped.

…

Sesshomaru lay in bed, willing himself to fall asleep. His medication was making him extremely drowsy. What a day it had been. He should thank his neighbour for getting him sick, he thought. The pain was almost worth being introduced to Kagome's womanly scent. He gave a stretch and hugged her blanket closer. Yes, it turned out to be quite a good day after all.
