The Innocence of a Question

"Can I ask you something?" He looked up at her from the novel he was currently reading, raising an eyebrow at her. Taking that as a yes she continued, "Why don't you ever go out and have fun?"

Looking down at his book again, he continued to read for a moment before turning a page. After finishing the paragraph he spoke, "What makes you believe I never have fun?"

She stared at him, watching him continue to skim the page quickly then turn to the next page. It was almost mesmerizing really. They had been going out for about six months, yet even the simplest things that he did still amazed her. Sighing and turning away she turned her attention to the open window, her dark hair sliding over her shoulder as she turned her head. He watched her out of the corner of his eye, not wanting her to catch him staring at the moment. "Well," she began, "All you ever seem to do is go out with your friends to Kami knows where for days, sometimes weeks on end. Then you then come back, and you're too exhausted to do anything except for go to school." She paused, her face crinkling a bit as she thought. "Though I suppose you could be going out to have fun while you're with them..."

He looked over at her this time to see the face she was making. Her skin was wrinkled all along her brow in her confusion; he wanted to reach out his hand and smooth out the flesh. He closed his book completely this time and set it on the coffee table in front of the sofa they were sitting on. She continued to stare out the window, her blue eyes curious, though she tried to hide it.

It was true; she did not know what he did when he went out with companions. Telling a girl of seventeen that he was constantly sent out to take care of evil demons did not seem like a good idea to him. Sure she was accepting, hell, what girlfriend would tolerate her boyfriend leaving her for weeks on end to "go out with his friends" rather than spend time with her? Sadness flitted through his emerald eyes for a moment. He did regret not being able to spend more time with her, especially when their relationship was so new; however, the cases that the toddler gave him and his friends were often demanding and needed immediate attention. Continuing to watch her he answered her, "Rest assured my dear, I do not often have fun with Yusuke and the others when we leave. Most of the time we are just sent out to do work for our demanding boss."

Turning to him, she gazed into his eyes to see if she could see any emotion there. Her boyfriend was extremely practiced at hiding his emotions, but after dealing with hard to read hanyous for two and a half years she was able to make out a lot of what he was thinking. Right now his look was guarded, but it seemed slightly sad as well. Her lips lifted in a soft smile. She knew that he had his own demons to deal with so she did not pry, as he never had with her. Her expression changing, she pouted a little and sighed playfully. "That's right, off doing some delivery for your mysterious job. One would think though, especially with some of the company you keep, there would be at least some entertainment. Am I correct?"

The redhead chuckled, and was proud to see that he was able to make her face flush with color at the sound. "If you mean Kuwabara by the "company I keep" then yes, sometimes entertainment is provided for our adventures. However, if you had already come to that conclusion on your own, why would you ask me why I never enjoy myself?"

The girl shifted in her seat a little, her face still red from hearing his laugh. Like she said the simple things… Grumbling to herself in her head, she answered him out loud, turning away as she spoke, "That's not what I meant and you know it."

His eyes softened as her watched her turn away. Opening his mouth, he tried to soothe her wounded feelings. "Yes Kagome, I know it isn't." Kurama watched as she turned around to face him again, looking shy as she did so. For some reason, she was always so uncertain around him.

Kagome gasped as he grabbed her hand and pulled her up onto his lap. Her legs straddled his waist, the short blue skirt that she wore riding up even higher on her thighs. Face becoming even redder, she looked up into his eyes once more and found herself trapped in his gaze. Thinking he was about to kiss her, she closed her eyes to ready herself for the moment, only to be slightly disappointed as she felt his lips graze her temple.

He chuckled at her pouting expression, amused by the fact that she was so expressive over being denied a kiss. Opening her eyes once more her pout turned into a glare in seconds. "Mou Shuuichi, that wasn't very nice."

A longing expression entered his eyes. Although it was nice to hear his human name slip off her tongue, sometimes he could not help but wish he could share a little bit of his past with her, allowing her to call him by his true name. Mentally shaking his head and clearing it of his current thoughts, he leaned close to her once again and kissed the tip of her nose. "Whatever are you talking about Kagome?" Oh how he loved watching her face flush with that pink color.

Pouting again, Kagome turned her face away with a huff, crossing her arms over her chest as she did so. Even when faced with her almost perfect profile Kurama was still able to clearly see the blush that warmed her skin. Looking back at him from the corner of her eye she said, "You know perfectly well what I mean Minamino Shuuichi. I'm not going to say it." She looked away after she finished her admonishment.

Kurama shook his head. No matter what mood she was in, Kagome was always able to keep him amused. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in even closer to him, close enough for him to bury his face within her neck comfortably and nuzzle her neck. "Perhaps you should enlighten me my dear. I am having trouble remembering." Slowly he moved his lips over her neck, moving up along her jaw line and ending by her ear, making sure the last of his words brushed against its sensitive shell. Nipping the delicate appendage then sucking slightly, he waited for her answer.

Her breathing began to pick up. He always did this, she would start a conversation and if he decided he did not like where the subject was going, Shuuichi always found a way to distract her. Unfortunately, or maybe it was fortunately, he was finally able to figure out a way to keep Kagome's attention away from where he did not want it. He had a way of knowing just how to keep her senses reeling. A soft kiss here, a light stroke there, and she was at a complete loss of what she was trying to find out before. She felt a shiver run through her body starting from her toes and ending in her chest as she felt him begin to nibble on skin just behind her ear. "Shuuichiiiiii, you're not playing fair," she managed to moan out.

Softly laughing at her, he began to move his hands along her body, moving them up to just where the hem of her shirt met her skin, stroking the flesh lightly. Kagome tried to squirm away at the tickling but he held her fast. Moving closer to the destination she wished to be touched, he placed a chaste kiss to the corner of her mouth. "Say it Kagome, or you will not receive what you wish." Sliding away from her mouth, he began to run his lips over every part of her face, leaving no skin untouched.

Whining in frustration in the back of her throat, Kagome managed to get out a soft, "Please," before gasping when he nipped a little too hard at the soft flesh underneath her chin.

"What was that Kagome? I didn't quite catch that."

He was laughing at her now, she knew he was. And yet she couldn't bring herself to be irritated with him. At least, not at the moment she couldn't. This time her plea was louder. "Please Shuuichi!" He was such a damn tease! Why wouldn't he just kiss her already?

He knew she was desperate for the feeling of his lips against hers but he wanted to hear her words, begging him for a kiss. "Please what? You have to tell me."

Growling in the back of her throat, her sound of slight irritation turned into a purr of enjoyment when his lips returned once again to her neck. She tilted her head to the side, silently encouraging him to continue his ministrations. Really, she thought, giving into him wouldn't be so bad right? She was only asking for a kiss… Mentally nodding her head, Kagome gave into her wicked boyfriend's wishes. "Please Shuuichi, kiss me."

Finally hearing her words, Kurama did not hesitate in covering her mouth with his. He started out gentle, just a slight brush of his lips against hers until he slowly began pressing closer. Her arms came up to wrap tightly around his neck, her fingers tangling in his soft red tresses. Deepening the kiss, he wrapped one arm around her waist even tighter than before and brought the other one up behind her head, tilting his head enough to slip his tongue between her lips, sliding it against her teeth, begging for permission to enter.

Sighing, Kagome opened her mouth allowing his questing tongue to dance with hers. He explored her entire cavern, leaving no place uncharted by his wet appendage. After a few minutes he pulled back, knowing that she needed to breathe. Resting his forehead against hers, he watched as she gasped for breath, waiting for her to open her now closed eyelids. His own breathing was slightly ragged; however he loved it as with each breath he took more of her scent drifted over him. She smelled absolutely amazing, and he never resisted drowning in the scent whenever he could.

Breathing slowing, Kagome finally opened her eyelids and looked at the man in front of her. Their meetings became more intense every time they met, and this time was no different. Her Shuuichi was always able to find a way to take her breath away. She blushed, noticing that his breathing was already under control and that he was laughing at her again to her chagrin. "What?" She asked him, pouting once more.

"Nothing," he answered, thinking once again about how easily she switched from one emotion to the other. Looking at her slyly he wondered, "So do you have any suggestions for fun activities?" He chuckled at her surprised expression.

"Suggestions? Fun?" She was bewildered. What was her mischievous boyfriend talking about now? Pulling away slightly but still keeping her arms around his shoulders, she looked up at him.

"Yes, I believe you were enquiring as to why I never had fun. I was wondering if you had any suggestions." The hand that was previously holding her head stroked through her hair, playing with the ends of the ebony locks after running through their length.

Her eyes widened. "Oh!" Blushing again, she silently berated herself for forgetting the whole reason why Shuuichi had become so frisky. Looking up at him she said, "Well, I was going to tell you that we should go out and see a movie but…" Her face became even redder as she turned her face away.

"But what?"

Turning her head to once again look into her gorgeous boyfriend's emerald eyes then looked away again. Kagome sighed in resignation. Blushing even more, which she believed was not even possible, she answered shyly, "I would not mind just staying here for the day…" Her eyes moved up to his once again. Gasping, she nearly regretted her words when she saw the emotion flitting through his eyes. Unbridled passion.

Smirking at his girlfriend, Kurama said, "I have no problem with that." Tightening his arms around Kagome once more, he pulled her into another mind blowing kiss.

A/N: So, hello all. Allow me to introduce myself, I am SesshysChic23. I don't know if you've read my last attempt at writing (please don't if you haven't already) but I would like to say that I am infinitely more proud of this fic that my last one. It is a oneshot, but hey, it's been a while for me so I decided to start out small again. I have to say that I really do like this little fic though, maybe if I have time I'll make it into a series, but I don't know. We'll see. I would also like to point out that this is the raw version of this fic. Although it has gone through some rough editing at about 3am, its still not completely perfect, proabably far from it actually. But I wanted to get this out. I'll probably go through and edit it again later. I would just like to thank you for reading now and I ask that you leave me some feedback in the form of a review. Because it has been so long since I've written for the public, I would like to know how I'm doing. Thanks!! ^_^
