I Think This Will Be Fun
Chapter 1: New Beginnings
Flashback
He smiled inwardly, he didn't know how traveling and staying with this futuristic Miko would end, but he wouldn't question it, he wasn't one to question everything in the world anyway. Looking down at her subtlety barely holding in the smile he was feeling and recalling the kisses they just shared thought one final time "This will be fun"
One hour later
The daiyoukai taking in the spring's warm breeze continued his slow stride as the Miko now growing weary slowed her pace from what it had been when they began their journey just one hour before. He shook his head reminding himself that she was a human- a beautiful, seductive human woman and that she would in fact grow tired much easily than he himself would. He began to slow his pace some more as he smelt the arousal (that had been there an hour ago) diminish from her body.
Looking down at her with slightly concerned eyes asked "Do you need to rest Miko"
Startled as this was the first time he spoke to her since they began walking responded quickly "No, not at all I'm fine"
"You're lying Miko. Or have you forgotten that I've traveled with humans and know their bodies' limitations." He replied challenging her
"You've traveled with a small human girl, it's not the same."
"I haven't noticed the difference all humans need rest because of their weak physicality"
Feeling her anger rise at the arrogant demon spat "You didn't say I had weak physicality when you were kissing me like your life depended on it."
"Once again you are mistaken Miko" he replied his anger also growing at her smart remark "You said that you could not be seduced by any demon half or otherwise and it was my duty as the Lord of the West to prove you false, which is what I did with ease"
"And those smooth, soft kisses that seemed to beg me to follow you"
Shocked at her realization of his plans retorted quickly "I did not say anything about you traveling with me. Those words never left my tongue. You assumed I wanted you to come along, and to be chivalrous I did not cast you away"
Feeling foolish for the millionth time that day she pondered his words. 'I should've known he wasn't inviting me to join him, once again I let my emotions rule my actions, no wonder no one wants to be with me, not Inuyasha and certainly not Sesshomaru-sama.'
Refusing to cry from his response she replied with venom "You could've let me go easily, I am a grown woman I can take care of myself. I do not need anyone's help or pity. This includes the help of an arrogant, insolent, annoying demon." She stormed away quickly, tears threatening to gather in her eyes
Sesshomaru realizing what she just said and did swallowed his pride for the first time of his life and turned to grab her arm. "No"
Snatching her arm away from him with force replied "No, what?"
"I will not allow you to travel alone and get yourself killed."
"Who said I will be traveling"
"I'm not foolish, you would not travel to the old Miko's village as the formerly dead priestess and my idiotic brother would be living there, in addition to your two married friends the taijiya and Houshi. You told me not long ago that you had nothing else. So what else would you do when you have nowhere to stay?"
Replaying what he said in her head she responded "There are plenty of villages without a Miko. I could stay in one of those"
"You have not completed your priestess training Miko. This I can tell because I feel a stronger presence from the once deceased priestess than from you. And you are her reincarnation meaning you should be stronger."
"That doesn't mean I can't stay in one of those villages and complete my training." She responded quickly "I don't have to travel with you"
"I'm not asking you, I'm commanding you to come with me to my castle. And this Sesshomaru will not be disobeyed"
Scoffing she replied "You command me to come with you. Let's get something straight here bub I don't have to go anywhere with you. You're just like Inuyasha, always commanding and bossing people around. Maybe if you weren't such a jerk I would come along with you."
Mentally gasping at her words Sesshomaru found himself slightly hurt by them. Hadn't those kisses been enough for her to realize he wanted no needed her to stay. It seemed to be moments before, it's astounding how quickly things could turn.
Swallowing his pride for the second time in his life and the second time that day in that hour (God this woman had a spell cast on him) he told her "Okay I will return you to the Elder Miko's village, for you to complete your training. After that I don't care where you go, but I will not allow you to get yourself killed being alone without any weapons or training. Is that clear"
Kagome slightly shrinking at his words responded "Yes Sesshomaru-sama very clear" she bowed her head slightly, it wasn't what she wanted. She wanted to stay with him to see where and what the future holds but her big mouth cost her that.
"Good" he replied turning from her "Now grab onto the mokomoko"
"Huh" she asked in confusion "You mean the furry thing"
"It is not a "furry thing" but yes"
Nodding her head she climbed up the soft fur and buried her head in it. "Wow this is so soft"
Feeling slight arousal building up inside of him as she buried herself within his fur he said "Hold tightly Miko, I don't want to run the risk dropping you and having to catch you"
Nodding she held tighter as he took to the skies much faster than Inuyasha would have. She had to keep closing her eyes to keep the tears from gathering in her eyes as he flew quickly, she had never traveled with anyone this fast and it was quite exhilarating. Wrapping her legs around his waist and leaning back spreading her arms wide she laughed and screamed "I'm like a bird"
Smiling inwardly he gripped her tighter as she continued to laugh. The grip to her thighs caused her to gasp and he could smell the arousal admitting from her again.
"And this woman said I couldn't seduce her" he thought to himself smugly not noticing that she was slipping from his back.
When he heard a scream register into his ears he noticed that a certain body heat was missing. Looking below him he saw Kagome descending to the ground rapidly flailing her arms to stay afloat, all of course to no avail.
Shaking his head at his own carelessness he descended after her at a much quicker rate as she continued to scream. "Help me Sesshomaru-sama" He dropped under her and caught her bridal style as she continued to shake.
Clutching his kimono tightly she breathed erratically, you would think she would be used to falling from high altitudes, but the three years away from the feudal era had changed a lot.
"Are you alright Miko" he asked her as gently as he could
Still shaking in her state of mind she responded without thinking "Inu-yasha" before crying loudly
Slightly startled at her tears, and even more slightly hurt by her words he gripped her tightly and headed towards Kaede's village. "If the Miko wants to see the foolish hanyou, then she can see him. I was foolish to believe she may have wanted otherwise."
