Last Time:
"Everyone, meet my general, Shintaro." I sighed as all the power drained from me and I plopped down into my chair. "You haven't died since the last time I saw you?"
"Nope. Can't get rid of me that easily!" he chirped.
"Damn." I cursed. "I was hoping."
"I bet you were, love. I bet you were."

LEMON IN THIS CHAPTER!!!!!
Chapter Four:
The half hitsune, half inu taiyoukai walked towards us, mindful of the drunks on the floor. There was a grin on his face and a sadness behind his eyes. His grin turned into a soft smile and although we bickered like cats and dogs...Shintaro was much like my best friend in this demonic plane of chaos and destruction. He always walked into the dining room with the dark black and deep plum colored pillows, with its low table, and spacious room, there was always an air of confidence about him.
He made his way behind me and I released the hand that Kurama had. Shintaro sat behind me, legs crossed, and pulled me into his lap, nuzzeling my neck. He looked at the others around us through narrowed eyes. He didn't trust my judgement. He wanted to make sure that none of them seemed like they were going to slit my throat. He seemed satisfied because her took up his previous position, nose burried in my neck.
I was darker, yes, that's ture, but I was still a person. I felt anger differently and reacted horribly. My memories wandered back to my mother and the way I treated her. I felt horrible about it but...I had just lost my friends and I felt that something was wrong with her. It was best not to dwell on the subject.
I gently rubbed Shintaro's pointed ears and I felt the rumbling purr against my back. I immediately relaxed. I saw my new recruits look at us strangely and I merely glared at them. I looked back at Kurama and saw that he had a very confused and very protective look on his face and I smiled sadly yet reassuringly at him. I patted his hand and gripped it before releasing his hand once more.
As I sit here and slowly close my eyes
"Shintaro. These are my new recruits. This is Yusuke, Hiei, Youko Kurama, Jakotsu, Sensui, Karasu, Kohaku, Kuronue, and those three drunk idiots on the floor are Bankotsu, Suikotsu, and Hiten." I said motioning to each person as I said their name.
"My Lady?" a maid called. I looked at her and saw her blushing when everyone else looked at her as well.
"What is it?" I asked coldly.
"Ummm...well...I was wondering if it was time to bring...out the food...and if you want sake." the maid asked. I nodded to her and scurried out of the room. A sense of satisfaction curled within me. She was scard of me but then I saw the disapproving glance from Kurama and found myself trying to correct my errors.
I growled and looked away from him. Just because I am slightly emotional around him (who knows why) that doesn't mean that he can look at me disapprovingly at me. He is nothing to me and I don't have to do anything I don't want to. I am Lady of this house and I took orders from no one. Kurama had no right to look at me like that just because he saw me in a moment of weakness. It's not my fault that he looked so understanding of my pain and all.
I take another deep breath
Idle chit chat was exchanged between the men while Shintaro was doing things he should not have been doing at the dinner table. His head was burried benethe my hair and his mouth was to my neck. His tongue darted from his mouth as he licked the sensitive skin. I clenched my hands on the table but my face stayed emotionless. He smirked and he bit down softly.
It was very well known that Shintaro was my general...but also my lover.
Sesshoumaru assigned me him years ago before he died. When he realized that Inuyasha would never love me and that I would often become sexualy frustrated while we would spar (Sesshoumaru usually had his shirt off since I restored an arm of his) and he would often pin me while I wore almost nothing, he deemed that I needed a lover. Sesshoumaru had made me a person of his court and I stayed with him when we didn't hunt shards.
It wasn't my fault that Sesshoumaru liked to pin on the floor or against wall...roughly. It was the atmosphere that always got me. Our bodies would meet and the light sheen of sweat made our bodies slick, we both would be panting, our breath mingling, and then he'd feel his control slip. It was funny yet awkward because he was like an older brother to me but he never made it so. He died before he could. His beast saw me as something to fuck but he saw me as a sister. Awkward.
And feel the wind pass through my body
I remember when he first brought me Shintaro. We had just finished sparing and I had several cuts on my body.
I walked to my room in a light blue plain kimono. I had just left the hotsprings and now I just wanted to curl up in my bed and relax. I entered the room that was lit by the moonlight and sighed as I grabbed a book from the side. I turned to look at my bed and screeched.
"Who the hell are you?" I cried. There was man there with waist length golden hair, messy light blue bangs that hung over gray eyes, and a golden tail with a light blue frosted tip. He was dressed in a simple dark blue kimono and had black bands on each wrist and one around his neck.
"You don't know?" he purred, his voice seductive and teasing. He frowned lightly before continuing. "I am Shintaro."
"How did you get in here? You are not a visitor, nor do you belong to the staff here." I asked.
"I was found in a slave market. Your Lord Sesshoumaru bought me for you." he said, his eyes glinting dangerously.
I'm the one in your soul
"Why would I need a slave?" I snapped.
"He bought me in the more erotic corners of Japan." he smirked. "I am a sex slave, dearest, and I am yours." he purred once again. I felt myself stiffen.
"Sesshoumaru bought you to be my lover?" I asked, appalled. I looked at his wrists and neck with dread. "Then those..."
"Symbolize one of my status." he said with a small sad smile. He stood and walked towards me, that smile that was once sad, now seductive.
He pinned me against the door, one arm next to my head and he leaned his own head down to my eye level. He towered over me by at least a head and a half or so because I came to the tip of his shoulders. His other hand was on the door handle and he locked it with a small, 'click'. He purred, a sound that calmed and soothed me. He leaned down and captured his lips in my own and I sighed. Something told me that I shouldn't do this but...
I wanted it.
Reflecting inner light
He purred again and this time, my chest was against his and I felt it vibrate through to me setting my senses on fire. I moaned and his purr turned into a rumbling growl. His tongue sweeped into my mouth as he lovingly carressed my tongue with his own. He didn't demand or take, he just offered. He sucked my tongue before pulling away and I whimpered softly. He picked me up from my previous position against the door and set me on the bed.
With surprisingly gentle clawed hands he pulled away my kimono and his gray eyes darkened to black. He looked over my body and saw where I had small marks from Sesshoumaru's claws and/or where his sword nicked me. He bent his down and licked the small marks and scratches causing me to a moan. He moved away from the cut and it was healed so that meant he was a canine of some sorts. Only canines had healing saliva. This ritual continued, lick, moan, move, lick, moan, move until he was done with any and all cuts.
Then he smiled down at me and tongue swept over my right breast where he then suckled and bathed my nipple with his tongue. My hand gripped the sheets benethe us gently. As one had was used to brace his body over my own, the other leisurely scrapped its claws over my skin, allowing goosebumps to rise on the skin. His hand traced its way dawon the the secret place that no man had ever touched until now. He switched breasts just as he inserted a long and elegent clawed finger into my already slick, wet core.
He moved his claw around the sensitive cavern until he found the small barrier that symbolized my virginity. He lifted his head from my breast and he looked deeply into my eyes, a sad expression on his dear face. His claw tore at the skin and I hissed but it wasn't too painful. Shintaro kissed me on the lips with a passion that wasn't there at the first kiss. He pulled away and slowly began to pump his finger within my small body.
Protect the ones who hold you
I arched into him when he slipped in another finger. He brought me up to him, his hand that wasn't busy, pulling me up to his chest as he straightened on his knees. My head was above his now and he kissed and nipped at the column of my throat. He inserted another finger into me and I a low and throaty moan was his reward. I felt my body ready for my release and with one deep thrust in just the right way...my world faded and I was at my peak. I opened my mouth but no sound came. He lied me back down and my body shuddered.
When I gained my senses, I saw that he still his kimono on and I shook off the after effects of my orgasm. I removed his kimono and felt the muscles play against my skin. His body was lean and his limbs sinewy. The muscles that were there were tight and ready as though he was going to spring in any moment. I studied his body as he did my own and found no marks. I ran my hands around his chest and he didn't move. He let me have my way. When one hand went lower and his hard length, he growled in satisfaction.
I touched gently yet firmly and watched the facial expressions play on his face. I squeezed gently and he bucked his hips in response. He grabbed my hand, halting any further exploration and I looked at him questioningly. He positioned himself right before entrance and gently slid within. Our combined moans filled the silence and he waited for a sign to move. I wiggled a bit and then he moved out and thrust back in. I gasped and clawed at his back. His pace was at first slow so I could get used to the sensations he envoked in me.
Cradling your inner child
His pace picked up and my nails dug deeper into the flesh of his back. The sounds of flesh upon flesh sounded in the room, mingling with our moans and pants. I felt the hard muscles bunch in his lower back as he prepared for his release. I panted as my world began to fade once more and then I closed my eyes as stars were seen behind them. it was mere seconds when he came after me. He groaned and his body shuddered with the aftershock. He pulled out of me and rolled to my side.
"So you're what kind of demon?" I asked softly, my muscles weary.
"Half inu, half kitsune." he replied, pulling my body to his.
"That explains it." I yawned.
"Hmm?"
"Why you're such a good partner." I sighed, he chuckled and burried his head within my hair.
"Go to sleep." he said with a smirk. I nodded and allowed my body to rest.
I kept Shintaro as my friend, confident, and lover. Sesshoumaru was happy with this development. Others of the court were not. It was disgraceful for someone of the court to take a lover. I didn't realize the hell that I put Shintaro those days. Those bands on his wrists and his neck told the world he was a basically a love slave. As a common male a whore, he was treated like shit and he couldn't fight back because those bands held his power in check. I hadn't realized the pain.
I need serenity
"Lady Kagome! It's lunch time!" a maid called. I nodded and stood from my spot in the gardens. I was lonely because Shintaro was missing this morning. I headed towards the terrace where Sesshoumaru and I always had lunch but stopped when I passed the maze garden.
I heard the sounds of someone grunting as I stepped closer to the grass walls. I felt myself moving to find the source of the sound. I heard another sound like someone gasping for breath and picked up my pace. I hurried down the winds and twists. From the direction of the sound, it was coming from the center of the maze. I gripped the bottom of my kimono and nearly cried at what I saw when I reached the center.
There was Shintaro with three other demons around him. He was bloody and beaten and I saw he was smirking in these men's faces. It was a smirk that said you can't win. A demon hit him in the cheek and his Shintaro's head jerked to the side. He spat blood to the side and I saw that the silver elegent males kimono was torn and also bloody. (A/N: A male kimono doesn't close at the chest like a womans, it closes at the waist revealing most of the chest. It looks exactly like a female kimono except for that minor difference.) I recognized the demons as one of Sesshoumaru's Generals, one of the council memebers, and a soldier. They were going to hit him again and I screamed.
"STOP!" I screamed to the top of my lungs, rushing forward.
In a place where I can hide
"L-Lady Kagome." stuttered the council member. "What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing?" I hissed standing in front of Shintaro, a few tears leaking from my eyes. "What right do you have to beat Shintaro?"
"We-" began the general but I silenced him.
"NONE!" I growled. "You have no right! Shintaro is a living being and he is my friend! How dare you even touch him!"
"He is nothing but a slave!" the soldier snapped. "A male whore! Those bands symbolize that he is nothing! Why do you care now? You never have before!"
I felt my eyes widen in horror as I looked at Shintaro for confirmation. He nodded his head sadly as he wiped blood from his mouth. He was usually beat but his healing caused all wounds to disappear so I saw nothing. I felt my gaze harden at the swelling bruise on his cheek. I saw now. I looked at the three demons and growled at them. They took a step back and I smirked.
"We're going to change that. These bonds will be off and I will kill you by tonight. I will give you each a two hour head start before I hunt you down like that mongrels that you are." I said coldly. "Move."
I need serenity
They were gone in an instant and I turned to the man behind me. My resolve cracked and as he fell to his knees. I began sobbing, healing every injury that I could. When I was done, I clutched him close and burried myself in his warmth. He shushed me as I repeatedly appologized for not knowing what he went through.
As promised those bonds came from his wrists and his neck.
As promised...I killed the men that dare hurt Shintaro.
Shintaro stayed within the house of the moon as my lover. He became a general within Sesshoumaru's army to replace the one that I happily killed. He learned fast and within a few months he became just as strong as Sesshoumaru, the marks on his cheek, proof that he was powerful. I smirked and leaned against Shintaro as we finished eating. I sipped at a glass of wine and sighed happily. I was very comfortable where I was at. I looked at the men at the table and cleared my throat. They looked at me and I smirked. They would make very good soldiers.
"Tomorrow I will have you sparring against each other so I can pick out who are the stronger and who are the weaker. The stronger will serve directly under me. Those of you that are weaker will serve under the stronger."
Nothing changes, days go by
"So we'll fight and that's it?" Sensui asked from his seat, sending a warning growl to Jakotsu who was also doing things he shouldn't have been doing at the table. "Stop it."
"Fine!" Jakotsu huffed, crossing his arms over his chest and looking away with his nose in the air.
"That's about it." I smiled. "The day after we will be sending out messengers to the demons that we will need to make an army. Also tomorrow, I will also be testing your strategies. My two strongest fighters and my strongest strategist will be spending most of their days with me. We have alot of work to do."
"You have an army already, correct?" Kurama asked from my side.
"We have an army of fifteeen thousand in the West that is under my direct command. We have ten thousand in the North, twelve thousand in the South, and thirteen thousand in the East." Shintaro piped up. "But the Rekai has three times that. The West has the largest army out of the cardinal directions."
"So we may be in trouble." Kurama murmured.
"Yes. We might." I whispered. "So get a good night's rest."
Where do we go when we just don't know
I stood, bringing Shintaro with me and looked at Kurama once before taking his hand and bringing him with me as well. He looked puzzeled while Shintaro merely shrugged with nonchalance. I walked Kurama to his room that was a right infront of mine. I smiled at him and he looked down at me.
"Shintaro, can you wait in my room?" I asked. He nodded and left so I turned back to the red-head. "You were kind to me, Kurama. I like you for that and I thank you for allowing me that burst of tears. If you need anything...please ask. You have a week to make up your mind." I said, standing on my tip toes and kissing him chastly on the lips. I pulled away before he had a chance to deepen it. "Anything, Kurama."
I walked to my room and I already knew what he was going to ask for. I couldn't wait either. I locked the door to my room and smiled when I saw Shintaro already on my bed, clad in nothing but a robe. I pulled off my kimono and let it pool at my feet. He smirked and beckoned me forward and I came to him.
He pulled me in for a kiss and I melted in his hands.
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing And when will we learn to control
