I struggled against Yumi's hold, digging my nails into her wrist to try and make her let go of my hair. Tears began to slide down my face as she began to thrash my head around, in hopes that I would just give up.
Suddenly, her painful hold on my hair was gone, and a gush of air swept against me. Opening my eyes, I was shocked to find Sesshomaru standing between me and the unmoving Yumi, who was twenty feet from us.
"Sesshomaru...", I spoke quietly, not wanting to startle him.
His massive head turned towards me and I felt his eyes scanning my body before he wrapped his tail around me and lifted me into the air.
normally I would have freaked out in this situation, but I was too tired to form any kind of protest and his fur was so warm and soft.
"You insolent mutt!" A woman screeched.
I focused my attention back to Yumi and was surprised by her expression of absolute fury. Her aura and power whipped around her in a black and purple wave and it was growing at an extraordinary rate. I could feel the negative energy surround me, and in my weakened state, it felt like I was being brutally stabbed with dozens of needles. A whimper escaped from my throat before I had the chance to stop it, and the way that Sesshomaru's ears twitched in my direction, proved that he'd heard it.
Sesshomaru growled aggressively at Yumi as she started chanting and a massive ball of dark energy began forming in front of her. She was glaring at us with hatred as her hands moved in a fast fluid motion. All of a sudden, her hands and her chanting stopped and the ball of energy flew towards us with a speed that reminded me of a car.
I squeezed my eyes shut and braced for what was to come, but instead I felt I was being pulled upwards as a gust of wind blew down my face. I opened my eyes and was relieved to see the earth below us and that we were creating a lot of distance between us and Yumi. I stared at the scene that surrounded us in awe. The sun was just rising over the ocean and created a beautiful reflection, the trees were the color of gold, and the sky was a mixed color of pink and blue.
The wind felt nice against my skin, it wasn't harsh and rough, but it was soft and flowed around me in a soothing way. It felt like we were flying but I wasn't completely sure, after all, we could just be in mid-jump. Only when I realized that we were slowly approaching the ground did I come to the conclusion that we were indeed flying.
We landed in a small clearing in front of a medium sized cave and I was lowered down onto the grass. My legs gave out from under me and I collapsed onto my side. When I tried to get up, my arms shook and I fell to the ground again when they gave out. My strength was gone.
I felt an arm slide underneath me and lift me up onto a shoulder. I tensed in fear at first, but when I saw long silver hair, I relaxed. As we entered the cave, I began to feel drowsy and was just about to give in to sleep when I was set down against the wall of the cave.
He knelt down in front of me and cupped the side of my face, lifting it up a little bit so that we were looking each other in the eye. His eyes were still red with a turquoise pupil but I could see slivers of gold lingering in his eyes, as both sides of him, were melding together.
I felt a blush warm my cheeks as we continued to stare at one another, and when he began to lean forward, my blush started to spread. He pressed his face into the crook between my neck and shoulder and started nuzzling against my skin. My mind was in disarray and I tried to think of any way to make it less awkward.
"Th-Thank you for saving me Lord Sessho-", I gasped in surprise as I felt his tongue press against my neck, licking up to my ear.
"Nonsense, it is I who should be thanking you." He said, his baritone voice sending a shiver down my spine. When he caught my earlobe between his teeth, a moan escaped my lips.
"Your scent is intoxicating Kagome, it always has been. It has haunted me for decades, centuries even. I've waited a very long time for you and I refuse to continue to live without you any longer."
My heart was pounding hard in my chest. My body and mind are so exhausted, I don't even have the energy to freak out and think about his words. Is this really Sesshomaru? What does he mean by waiting for centuries?
"Lord Sesshomaru, are you feeling well?" I ask nervously.
When he didn't reply and just kept nuzzling and licking my neck, I decided to try and get his attention by reaching up with my hand and tugging lightly on his hair, he groaned into my neck and the sensation of it, the sound of it, made me want things that I knew shouldn't happen. I tugged at his hair again, this time I little more forcefully.
He sighed in frustration but moved back to where he was only a few inches from my face, his eyes were completely amber now and they were swirling with mixed emotions, most of them I couldn't even name.
"What is going on?" I asked, breathless. "Why are you behaving this way?"
His eyes narrowed slightly like he was internally battling with himself about something, but he just continued to stare at me. Raising my right hand from his hair, I slowly reached for the left side of his face. My palm connected with his cheek and I was surprised with how soft his skin was, that I barely even noticed how his breath hitched. Feeling bold, I ran my thumb lightly against his magenta strips, loving how they felt like silk. I was so caught up in exploring his face that I didn't notice how close our faces got to each other until I felt his pants of breath fan across my nose and cheek. I glanced back into his eyes and noticed that they were half-mast and filled with pleasure.
" This is impossible. You cannot be real, the real Sesshomaru would have already killed me for even daring to touch him like this." I exclaimed in disbelief. " This has got to be a trick, an illusion."
I dropped my hand from his face, letting it fall back into my lap. I turned my head to the opening of the cave to watch the light slowly creep its way inside, all the while aware that Sesshomaru was still silently staring at me.
"I do not know how to convince you that this is not an illusion," He spoke with uncertainty. Causing me to glance back at him. "However, I would like to try."
Exhausted and not thinking straight, I blurted out the first thing that came to me. "Tell me where you think I am from. Depending on what your answer is, it will indeed reveal whether you are real or fake."
"You are from the village in Edo." He smirked proudly. Confident in his answer.
I smiled at his answer, "You're wrong Sesshomaru." I stated in a gentle voice.
Shock resonated in his eyes and I could tell that he wanted an explanation but sleep was calling my name, so I just shut my eyes and let the darkness drag me into a world inside my own mind.
