After that bold and seductive gesture a few weeks back, Kagome thought perhaps Shuichi was not such a weird fox demon after all. But since then, he has seemed to regress back to behaving like a cross between her mom and best gay friend. In a way, she can see that he was trying very hard to show her that he is a good mate material. Shuichi had started packing her an extra bento for lunch, which she guesses he was trying to show he could provide for her. He has started to make it his mission to keep her hair and uniform in perfect order every time it got even slightly out of place up trying to show her he can groom and care for her well being. He has also picked up showing his more possessive side, trying to squirrel her away whenever she starts giving more attention to other people than him.

Demons are so strange, especially this one and his almost pitiful way of trying to court her. Really, who could possible think this mother hen like behavior will get them anywhere. As sweet as all his attempts are, his lack of assertiveness was starting to grate her nerves. Maybe she thought years of dealing with dominating demons are messing with her head and skewing her perspectives.

Kagome was nearing her limit with Shuichi's attempts and have been entertaining the idea of making the move herself. That will at least speed things up a bit and end the whole nicest boy in the world approach Shuichi has been trying to pull.

After some research and information from a reliable source *cough*Hiei*cough*, Kagome found out Shuichi or Kurama as some know him as was actually the spirit of a silver fox demon in the body of a human. After that piece of information, Kagome was even more confused how a notorious silver fox fit the goody two shoes image of Shuichi. Perhaps one too many years playing ideal son and the lack of wild plant life of the city has make the fox a little crazy. The lack of greenery and nature in the city always drove Inuyasha a little mad when he stayed in the future for more than a few days.

They have another study date at his house after school today for a group project. With her patience grown thin, Kagome swore. If Shuichi has one more failed attempt at expressing his desires, then she will just have to take matters into her own hands. Maybe with a more direct nudge in the right direction Shuichi will finally show is true colors.

She has tried giving some hints to the man, but either Shuichi is not noticing or he is really that dense. On their occasional dates, she has tried to subtly seduce him by showing him the occasional cleavage or engaging in playful flirting. She had even resorted to wearing sexy lacy underwear.

There are times when she almost seen him cave in with a sudden flash of gold within the usual emerald green of his eyes. So close, but no cigar. Kagome really does not know wither to bang her head against the wall in frustration or to give him a medal for most self control ever.

She has on another set of lacy underwear underneath her uniform today for their study session. Wiggling uncomfortably in her seat she really cannot wait till the day was over; these lacy things are so itchy.

To her right, Kurama was having an inner conflict of his own. The last couple of times he has gone on dates with Kagome as been trying every inch of his self restraint. The teasing touches and the sexy lacy bras and panties she has been wearing slightly showing through her blouse enticing his demon side. His inner demon has been practically drooling wanting to pounce and have his wicked way with her. Damn, Kurama curse mentally at this rate his mother may start to notice his increase use of tissue paper in his room.

At this point, Kurama was starting to wish that Kagome was not just a normal girl so he can use is more primal instincts to stake his claim. Stealing a glance over at the girl that has reduced him the mighty Yoko Kurama to such a sorry state, he can make out the new set of red lacy thing she is wearing today under her uniform. Letting out a quiet sigh of frustration (sexual frustration more like) he steels himself for another trying afternoon.

When class ended, the couple walked side by side towards their destination. Their bodies close enough for their hands to occasionally brush against each other. When they reached Shuichi's house, he politely invited her in. "I will go get us some drinks and snacks, why don't you look over the project outline and brain storm for ideas?"

Sitting on the couch, Kagome began pulling out her books and replies "Sure, no problem," and starts reading over the project requirements. Minuets passed and Shuichi has yet to return, but she continued working. Looking back up at the clock again, she noticed that he has been gone for almost twenty minutes. Really, she thought, does it take that long to grab a couple of snacks and drinks from the kitchen? Getting up, she wondered over to the kitchen into another unexpected scene.

There standing at the counter with his back facing her was Shuichi, in a frilly pink apron trying decorating a cake with flowers. The pink apron, Kagome guess belonged to his mom. However, this was the really the final straw that broke the camel's back. On impulse, she growls in frustration and stalks towards Shuichi.

Hearing the other presence in the kitchen, Kurama turns around so see an almost predatory Kagome. Feeling a bit nervous from the sudden almost electrical feel in the air, he backs up against the counter with flowers and icing still in hand. "I wanted to surprise you with cake?"

This did not placate Kagome at all. Instead, she stalked right up to him grabbing him by the front frill of his apron and proceeded to drag him out to the living room. For such a petite girl, Kurama was shocked at how much strength she possessed as he was practically dragged from the kitchen and thrown on the couch. He was only able to stutter out, "Kagome, wha…what are you doing?" before being left speech less as Kagome straddled on top of him pinning him down.

"Doing what you should have done to me ages ago you stupid fox," Kagome growls before grabbing on the twin locks of red hair framing Shuichi's face to pull him up towards her for a fiery passionate kiss.

Hearing Kagome call him fox sent him reeling with questions. How did she know? Is she really a normal human? He feels a sudden tingling sensation grazing his scalp where Kagome has gripped his hair with her finger. Recognizing the distinct type of energy right away, he realized that Kagome was not just a normal human girl, but is spiritually gifted. Not only did she have such high spiritual powers but aware of the supernatural.

With that knowledge Kurama felt a ton of weight lift from his shoulder, no longer having to hide his true nature. Utilizing his demon abilities, he quickly turned the tables on Kagome. Flipping her over with ease and leaning in to nuzzle her neck he whispers seductively, "This would have so much easier and pleasurable if you told me you knew earlier." He gives her shoulder a sharp controlled nip to show his dissatisfaction.

The slight pain of teeth against her shoulder caused her to gasp his name in surprise, "Shuichi".

Looking straight into her eyes with smoldering heat he tells her, "Call me Kurama."

"Kurama," Kagome says out loud, testing the name on her lips. Smiling up at the red haired fox demon she demands, "Kiss me again Kurama."

"As you wish," he replies and leans in to claim his prize. After all the torture she put him through, he really deserved a prize for his efforts and Kurama swears that Kagome will be giving him his prizes for years to come.

End….

Thanks for all the encouragement.
