The Wolf and The Blossom
Chapter Three
She could see it. The rolling hills combed with lush greenery, the warmth of the mid day sun as it illuminated the water preserves and fresh growing stock.
The spicy scent of herbs and ointments being brewed in preparation for delivery. But above all else, she could see them…
Those loving faces smiling at her with so much absolute devotion and caring. As if nothing in the world could hurt her as long as they were here, with her…her family. They were her breath, her drive, and the one reason for breathing.
She could see them…see her home.
Until a calloused hand gripped hold of her naked hip, and suddenly that world, that dream melted away…
Softly Kagome's hazel eyes parted open as she was roused from what was a peaceful sleep. The tingling of hot breath on her neck causing her to still as she adjusted slightly with the heat of warm bronze skin pressed to her back.
"You're getting thin." Kouga whispered against the lobe of her ear as he allowed his hand to glide over the slope from Kagome's hip to her stomach.
Kagome didn't respond only laid there tiredly after such a trying night. As usual the wolf demon currently cradling her naked skin to naked skin had returned to the cave she now called home with an insatiable appetite.
For a better part of the night he had done what she had now grown accustom too. Taken her in every way shape and from of the word.
Tasted her, touched her, hurt her…
She didn't know how many times that made now. Or even how long it had been, days? Weeks? Anything seemed possible with the absence of the outside world.
All she did know was the passing of each night seemed longer than the last with only this to greet her come the morning. The stone walls she had now memorized and the wolf demon who held her within them.
"Why haven't you been eating?" Kouga asked retracting his arm that had laid under Kagome's head so he could prop himself up on his elbow. His sharpen azure eyes scanning the back of the priestess who had yet to roll over and face him.
"I cant eat raw meat." Kagome admittedly lowly. Amongst other things she couldn't even remember the last time she had eaten, it seemed like a lifetime ago. In all honestly she couldn't even remember the taste of food.
Kouga brow arched with disbelief. Of course she was a human, he had forgotten their dietary habits differed a great deal from his kind. No wonder she seemed so much more slender than normal. Why had it taken her this long to say anything? What had she been sustaining herself off of this entire time?
Nothing probably, judging just how drastically her weight had shifted.
"I'll have some cooked and brought to you today." Kouga stated firmly. A great deal of meat since he wanted her exactly the way she was prior to coming to the mountain.
Sighing tiredly he rolled back retracted his hand away from Kagome's soften skin as he climbed to his feet. Letting the furs and silken sheets of his bed fall away from his masculine form.
It was getting late in the day, he needed to attend the tribe before they started getting to out of hand. Though the warmth of his bed and woman within it seemed much more appeasing.
Walking over to the pile of his discarded armor and furs he began maneuvering himself back into them piece after piece. Until his loose raven hair was the last to be secured in its normal high rise ponytail.
Kagome watching the scene unfold as she had many times before slowly began to sit up. Cautious to bring the furs with her as to cover her still naked body.
She may have endured the wolf demons touch countless times but that didn't mean she wanted to add to the lot.
But today, after having such a sweet dream. Such a vivid recall to her beyond long for home. The idea of staying inside this cave one more day seemed unbearable.
Nothing to do but wait for his return and the physical events that would undoubtedly follow.
"When can I go outside?" Kagome asked timidly towards the now fully dressed wolf demon turning to face her.
Last night as rigors as it had been, it hadn't been torment. Surprisingly the azure eyed wolf seemed to care about her enjoyment while lost in passion. The night he had hurt her to the point of tears, hadn't been repeated. Ever since then as unwanted as his touch was, it wasn't as painful as much as she knew he was capable of being.
Though she would rather die than admit this out loud her body had come to enjoy the time they spent together. The heights of passion he was capable of delivering her, despite as unwilling as the trip had been.
Maybe after such a thing she could speak to his lighter side? The side that could be reasoned with. After all she was human, being confined in a room of stone. It was beginning to take a toll on her.
Even without the lack of food, she could feel it. As the days drug on, she was becoming weaker, frail and that thought frightened her. She needed her strength if she had any hope of surviving this.
"Why? Do you want to run away?" Kouga questioned blatantly.
Yes. Would have been her immediate answer had she not bit her tongue. But hesitantly she swallowed the truth down hard.
"No." She whispered.
Kouga pondered for a moment. Somehow he wasn't all that convinced or sold on the idea, but he could be swayed with the right reasoning.
A fact Kagome could somehow feel.
"I just want to feel the sun." Kagome admitted. Now that was the truth, the warmth and the light of day was something she only had in memory now. She would do anything to ignite it into reality.
Kouga rolled over the outcome in his head silently. It didn't seem to have a visible down side other than taking a little more time away from the tribe.
But they could wait a little while longer.
"Alright, follow me." He stated flatly turning from the disbelieving priestess and beginning towards the cave entrance.
Kagome's hazel eyes widen in disbelief. Was he serious? He had agreed? Uncaring of any secret agenda Kagome didn't dare let this moment pass her by.
Leaping from the bed and having just enough time to scoop up the material of her kimono and slip herself into its worn fabric she began to trail after the marching wolf demon with swelling excitement.
The stone tunnels leading from the cave were a maze, a vast maze that she was now grateful she had never attempted to navigate. It was easy to see she most likely never would have made it out even after days of searching.
Though the wolf demon leading before her seemed to have the labyrinth down flat as he swayed in and out of the numerous connecting networks. It was almost impressive to see someone with such perfect clarity like memory.
But all thoughts of admiration were quickly forgotten as the end of the winding pathway finally came to its end.
Passing over the threshold of the darken hole they had just emerged from Kagome couldn't help but shield her eyes from the blinding sun blazing hot in the morning sky.
The rich light beaming through her fingertips as she tired to adjust to the warmth now roaring down towards her. The hum of the breeze filling her ears and the soft feeling of grass beneath her bare feet.
A moment or two of lingering blinks and she could see it. Where she now currently stood.
Peering outwards was a serene view of wide lush hills riddled with wildflowers and thick cushion like grass. Kagome stated wide eyed and speechless, she never realized just how much she had missed the outside until this moment.
It was everything she had longed for so deeply.
Stepping forward uncaring of the wolf demon who now watched her take in the lush scene Kagome spread her arms wide and gratefully letting the warmth of the sun shine down upon her.
It felt so good to stand here. To be free of the darken cave and its stone holdings. It was utterly blissful!
"Well, enjoy yourself." Kouga called over his shoulder as he began heading back towards the mouth of the tunnel they had just emerged from.
"You're leaving?" Kagome asked in disbelief spinning to face the walking off wolf demon to her back.
She wasn't about to say she wasn't happy to see him go. But it came as a massive surprise that he had enough faith in her not to attempt escape without his gaze upon her. Especially since she was once again in the outside world and its wide open space.
"Don't read to much into it girl." Kouga smirked gauging her reaction all to clearly.
"Just don't wander far." He added, knowing full well this field was on the cliff side of the mountain face. There was no way down the sheer drop off of the stone ledge. Not unless you had wings, or like him had the ability to withstand hard impact.
Which he knew, she did not.
"I'll be back in a few hours." Kouga waved over his shoulder not thinking to further the conversation seeing as he had gotten the girl what she obviously wanted.
Now he would leave her to it.
Kagome watched him leave with a disbelieving face. But it soon passed into a lingering smile. She had been given a reprieve from the dark life she had been forced to endure and she wasn't going to waste it!
Strolling forward she eyed the wide open space beckoning her to it. Oh, how she was going to savor every single minute!
Marching through the main cave had its usual perks. Demons stepping out his way in both respect and fear and four legged wolves following his every step as Kouga made his way towards his off staring comrade.
Uncaring he threw a quiver full of arrows in Ginta's lap startling the caught off guard demon clearly when he gasped in surprise.
"We're hunting." The azure eyed wolf demon stated coldly as his right hand man eyes blinked up towards his brazen leader in reluctance.
Hakkaku watching as this usual scene unfolded came trudging forward knowing full well whenever Ginta was summoned he was fast in his wake.
"Why so late?" Ginta asked climbing to his feet timidly. A little surprised his lead was making this demand already so weary into the day. It was only a few hours till sunset after all, he would have suspected if they were patrolling outside the caves. He would have wanted to leave much sooner.
"I've been busy." Kouga stated flatly brushing past the staring duo now meeting him step for step.
The wafting scent of natural feminine perfume floating off their leaders broad form as they shadowed his marching figure.
"Obviously." Hakkaku stated bluntly.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Kouga asked peering over his shoulder as they eased around the bend leading beneath the falls. A few quick steps and they were emerged onto the cliff side just outside the mouth of the cave.
"Kouga, don't take this the wrong way but-" The mohawk spiked demon began hesitantly.
"The girl." Ginta stated knowing all to well where this conversation was leading. Considering the subject always plagued his mind as well. He just didn't want to be the first to bring it up. But, seeing as his companion had broken the ice. His own curiosity wanted to be satiated.
"What about her?" Kouga asked.
"How long are you planning on keeping her?" Hakkaku asked, his voice void of any real concern. The only real emotion driving his questioning being curiosity.
"What's it matter?" Kouga questioned harshly turning to face his comrades with a stern glare, his trudging feet finally coming to a halt.
"We're just curios is all. I mean, you've never kept any woman this long." Ginta stated with an adjustment of the quiver now strapped to his back.
He had seen his leader bed all sorts of woman, and never before had a single one of them held his attention passed a few days. It was a normal enough things with wolf demons.
Of course their kind mated for life, but mating and meaningless sex were two completely different things in the demon world.
"Is it the whole tribute thing? Or is it her? What is it about her?" Ginta prodded unthinking to the agitation that was quickly building in the wolf demon now glaring at the both of them.
"I got an idea. How about you two worry less about what's happening in my bed and more about scouting ahead?" Kouga stated sternly, watching as the slow hesitation washed over his right and left hand comrades.
"Now!" He barked angrily snapping them from their snails pace as they bolted by him.
Kouga watched them go agitatedly. As much as he cared about the annoying duo they had an unnatural way of getting under his skin in the most frustrating ways.
But their blind questioning aside. It had brought up a decent point.
Why did he keep the girl around?
He had taken her dozens of times by now, countless different ways. Yet, it didn't feel like enough. He still felt drawn to her.
Kouga shook the thought away. It wasn't worth dwelling on, hell he just might send the girl packing when he got back to the cave.
Who knows. First thing was first though, he was hungry and his belly wasn't going to fill itself. So he better get on with the kill.
Now that was something worth his entire focus.
Hatefully a small figure eyed the vast greenery surrounding the only home he had ever known. His youthful brown eyes stinging with tears as he tired to cope with the fact that his entire existence seemed unfair and cruel.
Why? Why had it been his sister given over to those monsters!
She didn't deserve it! She had done absolutely nothing but protect the village, yet they had thrown her away to those, those things!
Kicking the ground furiously Souta tried to relieve is disbelief on anything he could. Why did he have to be so small? If he were a man by now he would march up that mountain and rescue her!
That's if there was anything left to rescue.
Souta tired to banish the thought as quickly as it arrived but the weight of its possible truth causing him to fall to his knees in despair. What if Kagome really was gone?
She had been gone from the village for so long. Vanished without a trace just like every other girl that had ever been unfortunate enough to be marked.
There was every possibility she was…
No! Souta forced himself to his feet. Kagome was alive, his sister was alive! He wouldn't except any other possibility! He wouldn't abandoned her there, to that place. To those monsters!
He didn't care what it took. He would find a way to save her!
Making a solemn vow here and now. He swore, he would find a way to bring her home!
Breathing deeply hazel eyes took in the magnificent sight of an orange, pink and crimson sky burning brightly with the absence of the fading light.
Kagome sat on the edge of the cliff side. Where the soft grass ended, its lush greenery extending to hang over the ledge as she sat perched on the rim. Her kimono dressed knees tucked to her chest as she took in the almost cosmic sight of the setting sun.
The warm breeze tussling her soft raven locks towards the beautiful imagery.
Sighing to herself Kagome tried to relish in the last bit of warmth the lowering sun provided. For all she knew this might be the last time she was allowed to see the light of day.
Resting her chin onto her knees she stared ahead quietly.
She was the furthest from happy she had ever been in her entire life. But, things…as difficult as they were. Were getting easier.
She didn't enjoy Kouga's world, what little of it she had seen. But at times his touch, was almost bearable.
It wasn't welcomed. She didn't want the wolf doing the things he had to her, but seeing as the control of the matter was out of her hands. She had learned to adapt to him. At times, when he actually took the time to caresses her body, no matter how demeaning. To touch her and unwillingly make her ache for further passion. Her body had come to enjoy his hands upon it.
There were moments when she felt herself leave this world of existence in the heat of passion, thrust into the depths of oblivion when he brought something dark and primal out of her.
She didn't want to feel that way, but it happened all the same.
If she was brutally honest with herself, that was the only time she felt like this life was worth enduring. The brief worldly escapes having the wolf demon provided her while thrusting inside her.
The only question was. How much longer would he provided her such temporary relief? If what she had heard about demons was true, then he would surely tire of her, and soon.
Creatures like him were suppose to have insatiable appetites, and she didn't know how much longer her silent compliance would appease him?
He would inevitably discard her. And honestly nothing would please her more then to leave this nightmarish world behind. But she knew that wouldn't be the case. Kagome couldn't being to describe how many horrible scenarios she had played over and over again in her head when that time finally came.
Would she be given to another? That thought terrified her even more than residing with the wolf demon she currently took her place beside.
Shoving the horrid thoughts away she hugged her knees more tightly. Her future wasn't certain, but she didn't want to think about it anymore.
What good could it possibly do?
Breathing in deeply the crisp mountain air. She wished herself away from this place, back to the one place she would happily move heaven and earth to be amongst again.
Her village…the smells of herbs in the fields, the wooden walls of her hut, the trickling steams of the water reserves.
That as humble as it sounded, was her own version of paradise. One she knew she would never again revisit.
Her serene vision of home was quickly shattered just as fast as it had arrived with the slight thud of a weighted figure planting itself beside her.
Instantly Kagome turned to see Kouga sitting at her side his azure orbs fixed onto her with an emotionless expression.
Kagome slid her legs out from being pressed to her chest to sit more openly her slightly surprised expression fading into its usual solemn mask.
"Enjoying the view?" Kouga asked bracing his arms behind his back as he leaned against them. His inhuman eyes turning towards the fading sunlight basking the two of them in its orange glow.
Kagome sighed to herself, so her temporarily reprieve was now over.
"I've never seen a sunset this beautiful." She admitted while mirroring the wolf demon to her side at admiring the dissipating light.
Kouga sighed tiredly. They were common enough up here, he could remember seeing countless of days ends that looked exactly like this one. Nothing particularly special about any of them.
Forgetting the plain sight of the setting sun he turned towards the woman at his side. His eyes scanning her curved figure with a lingering want.
It had been a long day and he could use some relaxation. But just when the thought of reaching out for the oblivious human at his side crossed his mind.
His bright eyes fell towards the out of place pile of greenery placed beside her hips. A bundle of wild flowers, a purposely plucked bouquet that had obviously been her doing.
Kagome peeked out of the corner of her eye to see the lingering stares of the wolf demon beside her, aimed towards the neatly bunched mound of flowers she collected.
Turning her attention towards the soft bundle she reached down to thumb and long silver petal of the particularly interesting dominate flowers she had collected.
"Their beautiful." Kagome explained gathering the stems into her lap with a content sigh.
"What kind of flowers are they?" She asked turning towards the wolf demon beside her. Being trained as a priestess since she was child Kagome knew a thing or two about countless of plants and herbs.
But these were alien to her. They were shaped like any normal flower would be, a long stem outward extending petals. But there were several differences.
The petals weren't blunt or rounded but seemingly sharp even though they remained soft to the touch, and the color was most unusual. A bright silver hue, almost giving of the appearance of rock if nothing else.
"Stone lilies." Kouga answered eyeing the priestess reaction more than anything else as she stared down at the dozen or so flowers she had collected.
"I've never seen them before." Kagome admitted meeting the azure eyes of the wolf demon currently staring at her.
"That's because they only grown in the mountains." Kouga replied, it wasn't a shock the girl had never seen this particular flowers before. They were infamous for only growing at the highest of altitudes, places no common mortal would randomly happen upon them.
"They smell wonderful." Kagome smiled bringing one soft flower beneath her nose to breath in deeply its magnificent scent. It smelled like rain, rain and wet stone.
"Not as good as you." Kouga thought. Then instantly hesitated at the realization of something so strange and clearly out of place crossing his mind.
"Do you mind? If I take a few back to the cave?" Kagome asked hopingly. She didn't know when she would be permitted to return to this place, if ever. It would be of much comfort to have something to remember from her brief escape.
Kouga rolled over the question. Seeing no real harm in allowing something so trivial he nodded in agreement.
"Do all humans like flowers as much as you?" Kouga asked with a rise of his brow. Like the sunset fading away in the distance before them, stone lilies were another common thing while residing in the mountain.
There was nothing special or useful about them. So he found it strange that she would care to pick so many, let alone ask to keep such meaningless things.
"Some. Mostly girls." Kagome replied with a light smile. She couldn't begin to count how many girls back in the village who would love to have such a rare bouquet. She honestly felt lucky to have these small treasure all to herself. It was comforting.
"Do you?" Kagome asked curiously to the wolf demon beside her.
"No." Kouga said bluntly.
"Why not?" Kagome replied instinctually. How could someone not like flowers? Especially someone who was surrendered by them no doubt daily?
"What's the point liking something that has no use?" Kouga satiated carelessly. You couldn't eat a flower, especially those damn things. They couldn't be burned for warmth, they were just worthless weeds.
Kagome felt her eyes soften as she stared down towards the bundle of flowers held neatly in her lap. Feeling a strange kinship with something so small in a colossal world.
"Just because something isn't useful. Doesn't mean its meaningless." She stated lowly stroking a silver petal with soft fingertips.
"Everything has a purpose." She added bravely.
Those words had been the very foundation of her training in the village. That all life, no matter what shape or form had meaning in this world. Even if no one yet knew what it was destine for. It was still precious, and worth respecting.
"Yeah? What's your purpose?" Kouga asked prodding. Curious to see how she would respond.
Kagome's answer came all to quickly, her hazel eyes diverting from the flowers in her lap towards the brazen wolf leering at her.
"Protecting my village." She said confidently.
Kouga met her harden gaze with admiration. So she was braver than she let on? He had seen it before, slight as it might have been. While in the depths of his bedroom she constantly disobeyed him. Whether it was denying the passion he was clearly giving her, or the refusal to obey his every command without a little incentive.
He could come to respect that. Such an uncommon trait in a human.
"What's your name girl?" Kouga asked his inhuman eyes never leaving hers.
Kagome hesitated.
Up until this point she had just been a nameless slave. By him asking this was that actually a sign he was beginning to take her a bit more seriously?
If so, she didn't seem the harm in adjusting the odds into her favor.
"Kagome." She said.
"Kagome." Kouga rolled over the name in his head. It suited her quite nicely. A surprise really that he now held something more personal than just her body in his grasp.
A shame if he didn't do the same.
"I'm Kouga. You should remember that." He stated confidently.
Kagome absorbed his name with a twinge of disbelief. It was beyond an nerving to know she had survived so much at this wolf demons hand, and yet only now knew his name.
Just another cosmic twist in her uncertain world, but she was grateful for it no less.
"Kouga, the wolf." Kagome smiled lightly.
Kouga smirked in response purposely revealing the overhanging point of his peal fangs, his azure orbs gleaming with the last bit of sun light before it entirely fell away.
"Kagome, the flower." He grinned.
Then with the absence of light, the world faded to black.
"Well he was moody today." Hakkaku mumbled under his breath. His crossed arms and tense demeanor clearly displaying the depths of his annoyance.
Ginta peered over his shoulder at his sulking counterpart. His leaning figure pressed hard back first against the cliff side.
Sighing under his breath Ginta crouched down to the pool of water gathered just below the raging waterfall no more than a few feet away. Washing his hands in the cool liquid to rid himself of the grime of the valley mud.
He and Hakkaku were unfortunately on midnight patrol and after the days events with Kouga, the two did have quite a bit to talk about.
"When is he not?" Ginta asked flicking his hands free of the collected water droplets before turning to face his off staring comrade.
Laying his head back against the rock wall supporting his back Hakkaku stared up towards the blackened star riddled sky.
"Good point." He admitted. Kouga was a lot of things, but level headed was definitely not one of them. But today he had been particularly touchy about one subject above all others.
"You think he likes her? That girl?" He asked curiously. He had tired all day to wrap his head around the idea of his leader actually growing attached to a mortal of a things.
But it just didn't seem real. Kouga was powerful, strong, and now the official new leader of the entire eastern territory. He could get any woman demon, or otherwise he wanted. Why was he settling for something so common as a mere human?
Ginta lingering on the question before replying. It was a fair subject to bring up between them, and honestly he was just as confused as his mohawk spiked friend.
They had known Kouga since early childhood, seen him take many of woman to his bed but just as soon as he did he discarded them for the passing amusements they were.
But it had almost been an entire new moon and the girl still occupied his cave. It was beyond surprisingly, but a justifaction could be seen if one really tried.
"I don't know. Maybe he's just been to busy to replace her?" Ginta offered. After all Kouga had entire new territory to assert his rule over. Finding a new bed mate to keep him warm at night couldn't be a top priority.
Hakkaku's brow arched at the suggestion.
"Good point." He agreed. That logic made more sense than anything else he had been able to come up with. But still he couldn't help but wonder just how much longer would the girl remain amongst the tribe?
Unfortunately he didn't get the opportunity to vocalize his new fond inquiry with the sudden approaching footsteps creeping up the path to the duo's side.
Alerted by the sound both Hakkaku and Ginta turned in the direction the sound was emerging from.
"Halt!" Ginta snapped plucking his spear from the ground tightly.
"Name yourself!" Hakkaku shouted bracing his own weapon of choice between his hands with an iron grip. The tribe was asleep, and all that should have remained out was the guards posted. None of which had cause to be in their designated area of watch.
So an intruder seemed to be their best bet.
Slowly emerging from the shadows a wolf demon appeared, his hand braced on the rock wall to his side for obvious balance.
His face soaked in blood, and what remained of his body beneath his heavy fur and armor gashed and oozing crimson that began to trickle onto the stone ground.
Shock washed over Ginta and Hakkaku's face with mirror like clarity instantly recognizing the poor creature as one of their own. He was one of several who had been sent out earlier to check the northern face of the mountain peeks.
"What the hell happened?" Hakkaku questioned stepping forward extending a hand out to aid his clearly decimated comrade.
"He needs the healer!" Ginta stated draping the blood soaked wolf demons arm over his shoulder in attempt to guide him into the safety of the cave.
"T-The others. W-Were t-taken." The injured wolf demon coughed fresh blood spewing from his lips as he did so.
"Taken? Taken where? Who did this?" Ginta demanded only for his question to be answered without the mere use of words.
Clutched in the blood drenched wolf demons hand until this point stood the only shred of evidence either of them needed to know who was responsible for this assault.
Two large feathers.
His hips thrust slow and deliberate, filling her oh so deeply but not at the frenzied pace her body was all but aching for.
Posed in the crook of her neck Kouga drug his tongue lazily up the column of her silken neck. Taking the lobe of her ear between his fangs and nipping slightly. Savoring as it sent chills over her soft skin.
Kagome gripped tightly onto Kouga's back feeling the hard naked muscle rippling with every forward push of his hips. She hated feeling this way. But her body was thriving off his exquisite touch.
The way he moved inside her, the way his mouth and hands fondled every inch of her.
This wasn't like the times before when he had just savagely ravaged her, though that brutality had unfortunately brought pleasure of its own.
Ever since returning from the hillside he had done this to her. Built her up slowly to the heights of utmost ecstasy only to take it away before its pivotal moment.
He had tasted her first, like the night he had in the sacred forest. Drove his tongue inside her while teasing the pearl of her sex. It had practically made her see stars, building the scorching ball of molten heat in her core to devastating capacity before ceasing all together.
She could still see the smugness on his face when he had denied her what her body was so clearly dying for. Then he had switched to his fingers, driving the emptiness away with long strokes of his digits. Oh the feeling of having something solid inside her had made her body spasm.
He worked his palm against her sex hot and slow until she felt her velvet walls clench with the nearing of completion once more. But yet again he had denied her satisfaction.
It was blissful torture the way he handled her. All the while whispering dark things into her ear about how much he knew she enjoyed his touch, how much he wanted to be inside her. If she would only beg for it.
Kagome might have been thriving on his skillful ministration of her body. But she hadn't lost enough of her wits to stoop that low. She would sooner die than admit she was loving the way he touched her.
Kouga had discovered this for himself when she turned her head away in denial.
But instead of react with anger, he had only savored her slight rebuff with amusement. Making it his personal quest to have her teetering on the edge of orgasm all night if he had too.
One way or another he would make her admit she wanted him.
Thrusting particularly hard Kagome gasped at the incredible feeling such roughness brought. He moved so shallow within her purposely making her crave him like never before.
Her completion was so close if only he would allow her this release. That cosmic moment when she drifted away from this world. But he didn't, he kept her anchored here beneath him silently dying to be fulfilled with so much more of himself.
Looping her arms around his neck Kagome pressed herself harder against his masculine form. Her eyes stinging with tears as he worked her body against him agonizingly slowly.
Kouga kissed the salted drops that escaped her away with a mischievous smirk. He knew the frustration building insider her and the meaning it carried. She would break soon. And when she did, he would give her the release all mortal woman only dreamed about achieving.
"Say you want me Kagome. Say it." Kouga rasped hotly into her ear while slowing his thrust impossibly further.
Kagome gasped into the thickness of his neck as he sunk his pearl teeth into the slop of her shoulder, painfully but not enough to break the skin.
If only she had known he would use the revealing of her name as a weapon she would have never told him it. It made sex seem even more intimate than before. And it was driving her to the absolute brink.
Even with her iron resolve she didn't know how much more of this torment she could take. She was falling apart partially dying on the inside for him to make this emptiness go away.
She hated herself for it, but her body burned for him. Needed him, and it was driving her insane.
Kouga could feel the surrender in her weak little breaths. She was breaking, and he knew with just a little more incentive he could make her surrender to him completely.
Taking a tone hip in each calloused hand he pulled back almost to the point of slipping out of her completely before slamming back in!
Kagome threw her head back as a scream tore through her throat, his savage handling of her body finally causing the burning star in her belly to flare towards utter implosion!
"Tell me. Tell me you want it." Kouga ordered slamming his hips forward once more causing Kagome's eyes to roll back in utter rapture!
Kagome sunk her pearl teeth into her pouted bottom lip. Her resolve was shattering, it was happening. She couldn't go on with this incompleteness, it was to much! It was sheer torture!
Through lust clouded eyes she stared up towards those azure orbs in disdain, she hated this wolf so badly. But craved him on an impossible basis. She couldn't hold out any longer she was breaking.
Her lips separated and her pleading reply was about to seep out all the while watching as a wicked grin spread over Kouga's handsome face.
But before those oh so sweet words could leave her quivering tongue, it was all to suddenly ripped away.
"Kouga!" An alarmingly strong voice echoed through the cave as an unknown wolf demon came bursting through!
Kouga's fiercely narrow eyes tore towards the demon that dare interrupt him! Fire and hell raging behind his azure orbs like never before. Someone's head was gonna roll!
Kagome squeaked out in shock and humiliation as she scrambled out from under Kouga's weight. Her hands fisting in the soft furs and silks in attempt to cover herself.
The wolf demon standing framed in the doorway knew instantly what he had intruded on and fear washed over his face like a tide, and even with the instinct to run rampaging through him. He knew there were more pressing matters to attend too.
"What!?" Kouga snapped venomously climbing to his feet. Letting the furs fall away from his utterly naked body without a shred of modesty or hesitation.
"Apologies, but its urgent." The wolf demon bowed reluctantly.
Remaining posed until he was sure his no doubt fuming leader didn't intend to kill him here and now. Finally after a few seconds that ticked by like hours he recovered enough to meet his gaze once more.
"It happened again." He stated firmly.
Kouga's hatred filled eyes instantly ebbed away in alarm as his fragmented thoughts returned. The message was simple and cryptic but he knew its meaning all to well.
"I'll be right there." Kouga stated waving the wolf demon off, an exit the messenger took all to willing as he bolted back into the darkness of the cave.
Kagome stared up towards Kouga who marched towards the opposite side of the room gathering his discarded fur and armor all to quickly while maneuvering himself back into each piece.
A little shocked to say the least Kagome only sat their quietly coiled in the furs of the bedding trying to hide away her shame, all the while trying to wrap her head around what had just happened.
It was obviously something bad to have Kouga react in such a stern and hurried way. Form what little she had gathered about him, he was otherwise unshakable in the face of conflict.
Finally securing the last of his armor into place he soldiered over towards Kagome's recoiled form staring down at her with alarming fierceness.
"Stay put." He ordered only sparing a moment or two to gauge her response before spinning from her altogether.
Kagome nodded in agreement as she watched him depart from the cave, leaving her and the gnawing feeling of emptiness and shame in his wake.
The flickering of candle light burned in the hazel orbs currently cradling the small source of light to her chest. Watching the fire flicker with the assault of midnight air the older woman who clung to her small offering with a look of beauty and sadness.
It had been weeks now that her daughter had been plucked from their home and each passing day was harder to bare than the last.
Her absence was everywhere she looked, her remaining clothing. Her bow and arrows residing untouched in the exact same place the raven haired priestess had last left them.
Kagome's mother had always tried to be a good person in this world. A pillar of her village with her faith and giving heart, but never did she think the fates would be so cruel as to pluck her child from her arms.
Though her daughter had willingly accepted her fate, her family had not. They lingered now in their slightly empty home missing her more and more with the passing of each hour.
But what could be done about so travesty? They were mere pawns in the game of demons. Though that fact alone didn't deter her. She would gladly move the stars themselves to bring her little girl home again. She only stood here now in the late hours of the night just outside the village for time to pray on such a dream.
What she wouldn't give to hold her precious girl in her arms, tell her that the nightmare she was no doubt still enduring was now over.
Cradling the candle a bit tighter in her hand and staring up towards the blacken sky and glistening star light. She prayed, wherever her daughter was.
Let her be alive.
The steam rolled over Kagome's body like a mist of caressing touches all the while she kept thinking were it not for the insane amount of adrenaline still coursing through her veins she might not have been able to feel it.
Sighing defeated she leaned her dampened and naked back against the large stone encasing the pool of heated water that dwelled within Kouga's cave. After the azure eyed wolf had departed so abruptly she had seen no other alternative than to rid herself of his lingering touch than to attempt and wash it all away.
Her theory had sadly been proven faulty though.
Even now submerged in the steaming water she could still feel the gnawing of incompleteness pulsate between her thighs.
Clenching her legs together with the hard feeling of shame and regret still radiating its way through her very blood she tried to wish this misery away.
Kouga had known what his teasing had done to her, purposely reducing her to his miserable yearning state. He was more of a villain than she first thought.
She didn't want to ache for him this way. It was demeaning, and wrong and beyond shameful but she felt it all the same. She craved him, the temporarily relief only he could provide her.
The escape from the world he imprisoned her in. She had come to depend on it. That means of momentarily forgetting her longing for home, for her family.
Say what you will about the demon, he knew how to make her ache for his touch. It was like he was a master of the female body, were all demons this skilled at the manipulation of human needs?
She had heard whispers of women who had taken demon lovers. Despite the pariah they became afterwards, she had often wondered if such untold pleasures were worth such a cost.
Clearly they were. Which only made acknowledging it that much more devastating.
Kagome sank lower into the heated pool sitting at the shallow edge until the water merely rose to her navel. She hated feeling this way, hated herself for letting him make her feel this way.
She felt so helpless, so weak and so unbelievably aroused!
Shifting uncomfortably in the steaming water she clutched her legs together more tightly. What she wouldn't give, what she wouldn't do to make this annoying throb stop!
Kagome stared down at her naked water soaked form, what would Kouga do to her if he was here now? Her mind surged with the possibilities, his strong hands, his exuberant inhuman eyes.
Her hazel eyes sealed softly shut at the memory of his hands upon her.
The way his fingers had left a heated trail down her stomach to the barley visible patch of raven shaded hair over her still throbbing core.
How could anything have ever felt so good, the way he had touched her, felt her…
Unknowingly Kagome's hand began to trail down to the core of her aching need, sinking slowly past her raven wet tresses to the smooth folds of her sex.
Suddenly her hazel eyes fluttered open at the sudden realization what she was doing. No! She was not stooping this low! She had heard from her friends in the village how some of them pleasured themselves when their husbands were absent. But she had been appalled at the mere mention of something so private!
She might be silently loosing her resolve to fight against the wolf demon but she wasn't giving into her bodies betrayal! She wouldn't do it!
She tried to push the nagging voice in her head to continue where Kouga had left off aside, but the pestering thought remained. Trying to distract herself she reached for a handful of steaming water splashing the hot brew into her long raven locks as she began massaging her scalp aggressively.
But the aching in her core didn't subside. It lingered and honestly began to frighten her the more she thought about it. When Kouga did return he would undoubtedly pick up where they had left off. Right where she was actually about to beg him for his touch!
Kagome's circling fingers paused at the thought. It was one thing to know her body thrived off Kouga's unwanted touch, but to actually admit out loud she wanted him.
That was a line she feared to cross. It was the only shred of resistance he had yet to break. She didn't want to let him have that, she didn't want to let him win! She just couldn't.
Sitting nervously Kagome weighed her options. She didn't have the will to resist his commands, not in this state. He would have her verbalizing her bodies cravings for sure!
She wouldn't let that happen!
Staring down at her defeated and naked body she thought about what her friends had once said. That it didn't matter what they did in the privacy of their own home. It was natural and worth discovery.
But was she brazen enough to go through with it? She didn't even know how to begin-
Her cheeks flushed red and her pearl teeth sunk into her bottom lip. This was all so confusing and frightening at the same time. It was new and alien.
Bracing a soft hand on the inside her thighs she breathed deeply. It didn't make sense for Kouga to know her body better than she knew herself. She didn't want him to have that control.
She would have to take it from him. She would do this.
Kouga descended into the cave with his exhausted feet dragging the ground. The damage left in the those god damn birds wake had been worse than he expected. The scouting party he had assigned earlier was completely decimated. Those who weren't left to rot on the mountain side were currently missing having no doubt be captured or devoured by those accused creatures.
It was the second time this month this shit had happened. The battle was coming to a head and once attending to the one survivor of the massacre he had made sure the war council had been set.
Tomorrow morning this ended. He would take only his strongest warriors to the demon birds hideout and destroy every last one of the bastards.
Shedding his armor as he walked he crept towards his messed bed where he expected to find Kagome sleeping soundly. It had after all been hours since he left her naked and no doubt frustrated with his purpose refusal to satiate her.
The want for such a thing vanished with the rise of these more pressing matters. The girl would have to wait, all he wanted now was rest. Rest, and to gather the much needed strength he would need to face tomorrows sunrise.
But the moment he neared the messed pile of furs and silks he called his own, the scent of something sweet and oh so familiar wafted under his nose.
Kouga stilled his eyes widening and his jaw tightening in disbelief. This couldn't possibly be what he suspected. Could it?
Instantly turning towards the direction the scent carried from he crept silently forward, easing around the corner leading to the hot springs attached to his bed chamber.
Stepping around the rock bend but not fully emerging from the shadows as he suddenly took in the magnificent sight unraveling before him.
His jaw slacked and his azure eyes widen in utter shock.
There Kagome sat waist deep in steaming water, naked and glowing from the moisture clinging in the heated air. Glossed wet hair clinging to her neck and shoulders, her shimmering pink lips parted to occupy her heavy breathing, and a single hand working agonizingly slowly between her parted thighs.
Kouga swallowed hard and disbelieving at the magnificent sight.
Her flushed face, her perfectly round and heaving breast…was this a dream? Had he been so tired from today's chaos he had fallen into slumber without even realizing it? Nothing this absolutely perfect could possibly be real?
Kagome unaware of the pair of azure eyes drinking in the sight of her most intimate experience gasped lowly as her two fingers slid over her soft pearl. The ministration building her back to the edge Kouga had so callously left her teetering upon.
It was new and intimidating but also exciting to be able to get to know her body on such a primal level. Even if embarrassment coursed hot in her veins, the feeling of her core throbbing with growing anticipation of what was fast approaching dulled those meager emotions out all to easily.
Kagome arched a bit harder into her palm. She was so close, and it felt so good…to good to realize she was currently being ravaged from the shadows of the springs without ever realizing it.
Kouga's eyes hardened from their shock enlarged state to narrow slits of hard desire. This had been a completely unexpected twist, never in a thousand years would he suspected his teasing would have pushed the girl to do something so sensual in his absence.
But he had enough watching, it was time to partake in the oh so tempting midst of his bath.
Creeping into the water without a sound Kouga now completely shed from all restricting clothing inched forward until he was standing right over Kagome who with eyes sealed tight had no idea just how much danger she had thrown herself into.
Feeling the long awaited pinnacle of sheer pleasure approach a moan escaped her as her fingers stroked the bundle of nerves above her sex just a bit more feverish.
This was it. It was happening!
But just as soon as the promise of total bliss emerged it was once again all to quickly ripped away!
Jerking her to her feet Kouga gripped onto Kagome's arms tearing her hand away from her pulsating sex, spinning her to press back first against him and his now throbbing length.
He knew all to well her peak was near. But he wasn't about to let his little vixen fall head long into the oblivion of ecstasy without him being wedged inside her.
A scream bubbled in Kagome's throat having been so abruptly pulled from her fantasy by unknown hand but the moment she felt Kouga's calloused fingers wrap around the column of her neck forcing her to lay her head against his shoulder she froze.
"Now did I say you could start without me?" Kouga whispered into her ear.
Kagome felt a thousand emotions wash over her all at once. Shock, fear, to name a few but the most potent of all being shame!
She had been caught doing the unspeakable to herself! By the one demon responsible for reducing her to this pitiful state!
"K-Kou-" Kagome began pleadingly. She hadn't meant to upset him, which is what she fearfully thought she had done.
Was he insulted that she had taken it upon herself to finish what he would not? If so, she didn't like the possibilities that would follow.
He would undoubtedly make her suffer for this.
"Shh-" Kouga commanded the hand not holding her throat sliding down her arm onto her hip then descending lower to the still no doubt aching of her unattended sex.
"It's my turn." Kouga rasped his head lifting momentarily to capture the tender flesh of her earlobe between his fangs making her shudder against his equally naked form in response.
Gently he ran a calloused hand over the flat surface of her stomach savoring the way she moaned softly against him.
A loud sob of pure enjoyment broke from Kagome's parted lips as she felt his fingertips vanish from sight under the cover of the darken water to glide over the pearl between her thighs.
Groaning against her neck he slipped two fingers into her center loving the way her feminine walls flexed around him instantly trying to suck him deeper into her velvet depths.
"Your ready for me aren't you Kagome?" Kouga asked nipping her shoulder with the sharpen point of his fangs in incentive to answer.
"I-I'm sorry-" Kagome gasped her hands trembling against her own thighs as she tired to wrap her head around the almost indescribable sensation beginning to wash over her.
She knew her apology carried little meaning, but she thought her only hope was to appeal to his more rational side so that he might not spend the entire night tormenting her with his refusal once again.
"Are you?" Kouga questioned disbelievingly pumping his digits in and out of her core feeling as she began to grind downward against his palm desperately seeking more.
"Y-Yes," Kagome gasped as he scraped his fangs over her slick skin before smoothing it with hot lashes of his tongue savoring every trace of her naturally sweet flavor.
Roughly he began to slide his hand downward from its position upon her neck towards the wonderful mounds of her slightly heaving breast feeling them swell under his palm as he greedily engulfed one then the other.
Kagome arched her back against his hard chest an unwanted moan of satisfaction escaping her at the amazing way his rough hands began to work over her subtle flesh.
Squeezing and massaging her mounds vigorously, working each one into a perfect state of heighten pleasure before his fingers began to pluck at her now distended nipples.
Kagome sighed heatedly as she dug her teeth into her pouted bottom lip to stifle much more high pitched whimpers from following. She didn't want him to know she was enjoying his touch! It was demeaning enough being thrown into this situation.
But the fact that he was capable of making her yearn in such a way. It was more humiliating than being caught fondling herself!
Her heated thought shattered once he pinched her no doubt purple nipples between his claws to hear the wonderful sob of ecstasy that followed.
Acting of their own accord his hips began a sensual grind against hers. His now erect length prodding her thigh with clear want for more of her perfect body.
Kouga released her now aching breast to grip her naked hips harshly forcibly making her return the grinding sensation loving the way she gasped in embarrassment as response.
It wasn't long before Kagome could feel the familiar spring in her abdomen begin to coil tighter and tighter with every wondrous ministrations of her lovers fingers, she was nearing her brink and all to suddenly.
Kouga could feel Kagome's body begin to shudder and her breath quicken and judging by the way her feminine walls began to grip him incredibly tightly, she was quickly falling over the edge of sheer oblivion.
Not yet eager to help her in her descent, he released her thigh to grip tightly onto her fisted hand guiding her clenched palm backwards until her fingertips brushed over the soft tip of his length.
"I want you to touch me girl." Kouga whispered hotly into her ear.
Kagome gasped in reluctance at the degrading act as Kouga forced her to grip hold of his thick and throbbing manhood.
He groaned at the marvelous friction her soft palm provided as he gripped hold of her wrist slowly forcing her hand to caresses him in long hard strokes.
Kagome's cheeks flamed with shame. This was even more demeaning than having the wolf demon inside her. To be actually feeling that part of him, in the most intimate of ways it was torture!
His fingers never ceasing their pumping motion as his other aided Kagome in the hard fondling of his shaft, he skimmed his thumb over the bud of nerves over her sex watching as a loud cry escaped her brokenly.
Growling against the long column of her neck he repeated the motion to the same effect, absolutely loving the way her voice shrilled into the steaming air.
Squeezing her palm more tightly he forced her to increase the speed she rubbed against him. Each stroke brining him closer to his own release.
"K-Kouga" Kagome panted in warning, she wasn't going to be able to hold much longer, in fact she was already ripping apart at the seems.
Her body so over sensitized from its dozen or so almost orgasms it was acting on its own accord in seeking final fulfillment!
His own climax to close to deny he flicked over her swollen pearl again finally sending her spiraling downward into absolute sensational ecstasy! Her eyes rolling back and her full lips parted in a soundless scream as she began to spasm around the wolf demons fingers!
Kouga swore darkly against her sweat sheen skin as her hidden depths pulsated around his digits in a vice like grip before convulsing all over again coating his fingers in her wet essence.
His iron hold on her hand slipping away as she felt him throb hard beneath her palm, hot milky essence escaping him in a series of spurts as he came right along side her.
When Kagome finally found the strength to muster coherent thoughts she found herself sinking lowly into the clear spring water, her lovers hands gripping hold of her shoulders to keep her from toppling over.
Having no choice in her exhausted state she laid her weary head against his shoulder. Remaining frozen in his hold for what seemed like hours before finally peering back to meet his lingering gaze.
Kouga stared down at the human woman in his arms in utter astonishment. He had entered this cave with thoughts of nothing but rest and the vengeance he craved to carry out.
But the mere sight of her, of this mortal lost in the thralls of passion while submerged in the steaming water of his bath had caused his entire world to ebb away.
Even now staring down at those bright round hazel eyes, her flushed cheeks, and parted shimmering pink lips. All the outside worries beyond these stone walls carried, seemed so trivial.
Stroking a thumb over the swell of her soft lips all the while resisting the urge to kiss her. A single thought crossing his heavily blurred mind.
"What are you?" He breathed.
Update should be coming soon.
