Muse wants to be sure...

[dogwife]

Isn't it a little early to be looking at a possible game for me? You haven't reviewed the last few chapters of the manga, yet, and I really need you to know all my miko skills before you try to fill in an application for me.

Okay? Come back to me when you've got that done. Then we can both look at games and maybe decide together.

[dogwife]

I don't think that's possible, but she can send me somewhere calm enough that I'm not chasing demons every day.

[twotimingmutt]

Trust me, there're things a lot worse than demons at some of 'em...

[He's been in two already, and just the thought of her going to either of them is enough to make his gut clench horribly.]

[dogwife]

At least I won't have to go to any of those H games.

[twotimingmutt]

Any of those what?

[And then his mun explains, and instantly his face goes bright red.]

R-right...

[dogwife]

[ She looks up at his red face...then points an index finger and giggles. ]

[twotimingmutt]

Wh-what?! Quit laughin'!

[dogwife]

[ She's still giggling, because it's so cute how he makes this tough guy image and yet certain delicate subjects can suddenly make him Mr. Sensitive. ]

[twotimingmutt]

[Seeing as she won't stop, Inuyasha does the only mature thing.

Draw back, turn around, sit his ass down on the ground, and sulk away.]

[dogwife]

[ She sighs, shakes her head, then crouches down, tilts to the side so that she's looking over Inuyasha's shoulder, and smiles warmly. ]

Inuyasha, I'm only teasing you.

[twotimingmutt]

[He turns his head away, giving an irritated grunt. Even now that Kagome is with him, sex is still some foreign and embarrassing concept.]

[dogwife]

I'm not making fun of you. I just think it's nice that you aren't obsessed like Miroku. [ She leans back over, and puts her lips gently to his cheek. ]

[twotimingmutt]

Keh! No way in hell I'm gonna be anything like that lecher.

[The small kiss doesn't do anything to help his flush, but his face does soften just a bit.]

[dogwife]

I'm sure you're right about that. [ Yes! There's the mark! She smiles innocently and moves a bit before climbing into Inuyasha's lap and starting to make herself comfortable. ]

[twotimingmutt]

[Welp, that little moody phase didn't last long. His arm slips around her waist again to hold her there. And then he remembers what he was worrying about before his thoughts turned to sex.]

I don't want anything bad to happen to you...

[dogwife]

And nothing bad will happen to me. I didn't just learn my miko skills on our travels, Inuyasha. I also learned how to handle, fight, and capture errant demons. You helped teach me, after all.

[twotimingmutt]

Yeah, I know that, but... Look, these game things, they can seem normal at first, but shit happens in 'em. I've still seen people die, and...

[His arm tightens around her. He doesn't want her going through that.]

[dogwife]

I can always get help. I won't be alone anywhere I go. Who knows. Maybe you will end up coming to my game.

[twotimingmutt]

Maybe. If she tries to stick ya somewhere, tell me. I'll try to be there for you.

[dogwife]

[ She smiles, snuggling into his chest. ] I love you, Inuyasha.

[twotimingmutt]

Yeah, I know.

[He rests his chin on her head. He doesn't reciprocate verbally, but he hopes his actions will tell her how he feels.]

[dogwife]

[ She snuggles into his arms, letting her eyelids droop closed. ]
