Allay My Doubts...
For the past week and a half, it had been just Kagome and Sesshoumaru as they slowly made their way back to Edo, where both of their groups awaited them. But it was torture.
To Kagome, silence with Sesshoumaru equaled awkward, so she filled the silence and his ears with the sound of her voice. It was beginning to bother him. Not because she herself was annoying, but because when she spoke, he became distracted. Therefore, his focus was removed slightly from his surroundings and his ability to protect her slid down a few notches, which in turn perturbed him. And so his predicament.
"Sesshoumaru?" He suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. Her voice came from beside him on the path, which was crowded on either side by towering oaks.
"Hn?" He grunted noncommittally and not sparing her a glance.
She frowned and hesitated, which was something, Sesshoumaru observed, she didn't do often. "Have you ever had a girlfriend?" She sounded nervous, for a reason Sesshoumaru didn't understand.
He tilted his head slightly at the foreign word. "What is a 'girl-friend'?"
Kagome giggled slightly, color rising to her cheeks. "Oh, sorry. I forgot you don't understand that word." She paused. "A girlfriend is..." Sesshoumaru's eyes were drawn to her as she tried to explain. Her bottom lip was caught between her teeth. "is... Someone you're intimate with."
She scrunched her face at her own paltry explanation, but the Taiyoukai lord seemed to understand perfectly. "I have courted a few women, yes."
Her eyes flicked up to his quickly, the expression on her face being one of surprise and a slight bit of doubt. "Really?"
He nodded curtly, but her expression became one of suspicion when she squinted her eyes at him. "Why?" He asked her.
"Because you're so... you. I wouldn't think you'd get involved with another person, let alone look at her." She shrugged and shoved her hands in her pockets before wandering ahead of a silently dumbfounded Sesshoumaru.
He blinked, unmoving, and was beside her in less than a second. "You doubt my ability to be intimate?" His voice was cool and level, but Kagome couldn't help the grin that split her face.
"Yeah... Have you ever listened to yourself?" Kagome teased. "You make it seem like you're the only one who's attractive to you." She risked a glance at his impassive face, and was surprised to find his eyes narrowed slightly.
A pit of anxiety curled itself around her stomach. She averted her eyes and turned back to the path as her heart pounded in her chest. She looked back after a moment, only to find the path clear of one ferocious Taiyoukai lord. "Sesshoumaru?"
Sesshoumaru, having alighted on a thick branch, allowed himself a small smirk as she searched the area with her eyes before dropping from the tree silently in front of her.
She yelped and jumped. "Jeez, don't do that. You almost killed me." She fanned herself with a small hand.
He stayed silent and took a step toward her, his eyes lowered. Her eyes came up to meet his golden ones. "Sesshoumaru?" Kagome blinked, and found herself pressed between an ancient oak and Sesshoumaru's body with her hands pinned above her head.
She flushed as her heartbeat began pounding again. "Sesshoumaru, what are you-" A gasp escaped her lips as his lips brushed the pulse at her throat softly, like the gentle caress of petals falling on her skin. One hand left her pinned wrists to fall to her hip, where his claws pricked at her slightly. "Sess-" His mouth against her neck silenced her as he trailed kisses up to her jaw, his fangs leaving little red marks. Silver-white hair like moonlight hung around them, cooling her hot skin where it landed.
Kagome's ability to think came to a complete, screeching halt when his hips rolled into hers, and something hard pressed against her that wasn't his abs. She gasped loudly; the scent of her arousal was heavy and potent in Sesshoumaru's nose. His hand at her hip gripped tighter before he allowed his fingers to slide under her shirt to her waist, where her skin burned.
"Sesshoumaru-" A soft growl and another thrust of his hips left her breathless before he sealed his lips over her parted ones, his tongue grazing her bottom lip before dancing with hers.
She moaned into his mouth, and Sesshoumaru almost lost himself to the feel of her pressed to him, the scent of her, and the sweet, tantalizing taste of her on his tongue. He groaned softly before pulling away. "I hope," His eyes were glowing slightly, "That I have allayed your doubts." He murmured, his lips brushing hers as he spoke. He turned and began to walk away.
...With A Whisper And A Gasp.
