Sesshomaru had taken Kagome deep into the forest to a small hot spring, well hidden by trees, tall grasses, and shrubbery. Kagome gushed. She hadn't been to a hot spring since she was a small child when her parents had taken her and Sota, who was even younger than she was. She smiled fondly at the happy memories from that time. When it came to stripping and actually getting in, though, Kagome suddenly got butterflies in her belly and turned shy. 

Sesshomaru, on the other hand, had absolutely no shame. He easily stripped in front of her, keenly aware that she watched him. Kagome was enraptured as the heavy silk fell off of his masculine form. She wasn't surprised to find that his demonic markings extended past his clothing, though every other time she had seen him shirtless was in his human disguise. The magenta stripes she had seen on his wrists and cheeks were replicated in other places on his body. There was a set of markings under each shoulder blade that reached down to wrap around his pectorals, a set that accented his collar bones,  a set that ran from his hip bones along the v that cut down between his legs, and a  set that caressed his ankles. She could see the shifting cloud-like Moko Moko beginning as a thin trail of hair at the base of his neck and running down his spine until it extended from the small of his back, almost like a crack in his humanoid armor that was letting that little piece of his true form escape. His muscles rippled under his skin, flexing and relaxing with each movement.

Kagome's mouth went dry. 

"Like what you see?" Sesshomaru's voice carried the undertone of a slight growl, almost as if he and the Beast had spoken a the same time.

Kagome tried to answer him, but all that came out was a scratchy little squeak, so she nodded instead.

He approached her cautiously, hands outstretched until they met with the tie at her waist. "May I?" He asked, voice low, meeting her eyes with the fire of his own. 

She nodded again. 

His hands moved quickly, efficiently, knowing his way around the feudal clothing better than Kagome who had only been wearing this for a few weeks. His hands were gentle with her, however, as he removed her clothing, revealing her body to him. He had seen her fully naked twice before, but in both of those instances, they had been in life and death situations. This was different. Special. When she was finally fully unclothed, Kagome had to fight not to cover her breasts or cross her legs. He had made it clear that he wanted her. There was no reason to hide herself from him.

He took both her hands in his and led her into the steaming thermal pool.

Kagome sighed as she sank into the water, allowing the heat to relax her sore muscles. "Oh. That's good." She moaned sinking even further into the water. 

Sesshomaru chuckled.

"Don't you laugh at me. It feels great and you know it."

He smirked at her. "So, I take it this was indeed a good idea?"

Kagome smiled up at him, removing her hands from his to run her fingers through her hair as she leaned her head back in the water. "Oh yeah. Brilliant idea."

Sesshomaru followed Kagome's lead and took the next several minutes to clean himself as well. 

Eventually, they both ended up reclining on a rock ledge, conveniently placed just so, so that they could lean back in the water together and look up at the stars. Kagome leaned against his left side with his arm around her shoulder and her hand resting over his heart. It was a comfortable position, one they had been in many times before back at his apartment in the city, and it made it easier for Kagome to relax, knowing what they were planning to do. She had been the one to suggest it, yes, but even so, she was nervous. Sesshomaru didn't yet know that Kagome was virgin, and she wasn't quite sure how he would react to that fact.
