Melting the Iron heart
Disclaimer: I do not own the Inuyasha characters but I do own the Maids, Miaera, Sakura, and other characters not originally in the plot.
A/N: so what do you guys think of what is about to happen between Sesshy and Mia??
On with the story!!!!!
Sesshomaru leaned forward, kissing her, taking Miaera's breath away. She kissed him back, and they ended up leaning up against the cave wall, as close as they possibly could get. Miaera began pulling at his shirt, and he took off his total kimono faster than Miaera could even put hers on. She did the same, and they laid them out on the floor for them to lie on. Sesshomaru's eyes flashed red and Miaera's flashed black as they stood there, kissing in the nude.
Sesshomaru broke apart. "I don't… recall you… saying you… loved me too…" he breathed between kisses.
"I love you; I came to that conclusion the day you said my name, when we saved Rin. I knew I loved you. I'll always love you." Miaera said, kissing him, pulling him closer. "Now, shut up and kiss me."
Sesshomaru picked her up and laid her on the makeshift bed they had made out of their clothes, and laid on top of her, staring in her eyes before he did anything. Miaera wasn't sure if it was a good thing, or a bad thing that he was just staring. She sighed, coming to the wrong conclusion.
"Feeling guilty, Sesshomaru? That I'm not the girl you were to make your mate?"
"No, I'm not feeling guilty, I'm just wondering things, but we will talk about that later, I can't hold back my beast any longer."
Miaera smiled, knowing that the beast meant a good night for her. He began to give his beast what it had longed for so long now: Her. She moaned as she felt him slide in her, and growled out of pleasure.
2 hours or so later demons last a lot longer than humans, they were walking back to the campsite, fully clothed, and Sesshomaru holding Miaera as close as he could get.
"So what were you wondering about in the cave back there?" Miaera asked him, her voice full of wonder.
"Why you have a beast spirit as strong as you do, where you could transform into it if you knew how and yet you smell of a half demon, and also why your eyes are forever changing colors. Like when we were in the cave, they were green, but now they are blue. Why?"
"I smell like a half demon because of an enchantment a demon witch put on me when I was a baby in order to protect me. I'm not Kagome's sister, but don't tell her, she can't know. She will purify my ass till I was so out of her sight, that a worm couldn't see me. My eyes change colors with my mood; they turn blue when I'm happy. They turn green when I'm in the mood. They are red when I'm mad and black when my beast is trying to take control. Here's something that I bet you don't know, I'm a dog demon. But I'm not really sure what branch of the dog demon tribe I'm in." Miaera answered.
"I know. I even know what branch. You're in the Eastern Lands branch, and you were going to be my mate in the first place, because that is what our Fathers wanted. But when your father sent you away to live in that other era with Kagome, they had to make it where your sister married me. She hates humans because she is under the impression that you are being held against your will by humans." Sesshomaru informed her. Miaera was impressed with how much he knew, but she stopped walking for another reason. "What is it, love?"
"Someone new is in camp with Rin and the others. Rin is scared, and Jaken is still asleep. We have to hurry, my pup is scared." Miaera sniffed the air with Sesshomaru. "Sakura?" She nodded, and Sesshomaru let go of her and rushed back to camp.
They ran together, and Miaera picked up large logs along the way, hoping to use that as the reason that they were together if she asked. They got to camp to find Rin hiding in a small hole in a tree, and Sakura screaming at her to do a lot of stupid things. Rin jumped out of the tree when she saw Sesshomaru and Miaera approaching, and ran to Miaera. "Miaera-chan, thank kami!" the girl sobbed into her shoulder. Miaera's eyes reddened and blackened as she looked at Sakura.
"I thought that I told you never to bother my pup?" Miaera growled.
"You did, and I never said that I wouldn't bother her again, did I?" Sakura retorted.
"Sakura, that's no way to talk to your older sister, now is it?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Older…sister?" Sakura asked.
"Yes, that girl is your older sister that you believe is being held against her will by humans, when really she was raised by them. She is a full demon, contrary to what her scent is, but she has priestess powers. That is because her mom died giving birth to her, and your mom was his mistress and so she was to be his new mate. You never knew that?" Sesshomaru said, teasing from her lack of knowledge.
"You love me; you can't talk to me that way. I am going to be your mate, Sesshomaru. And you took that potion to do as I asked till you fell in love with me." Sakura warned, acting like she's sooo much more superior to them.
Sesshomaru walked over to Miaera, and put his arm around her waist, turning her to face him. "Yeah, well, I never was good at following orders." He said as he bent to kiss Miaera. "The elixir was till I realized I loved someone, it didn't necessarily mean it was going to be you."
He kissed her, and Sakura inwardly smiled. Thank you, supposed sister. I didn't want to marry him. It was my duty, and it was supposed to be your job, anyway. Thank you for letting me be happy, Sakura thought.
Then she felt someone hugging her, and she was not too fond of someone hugging her person. She pushed the person away, before seeing it was Miaera. "Sister, finally, the one that is truly her!" Miaera exclaimed. She hugged Sakura again, bewildering herself for just a moment ago, she hated her guts. Sakura let her hug her this time, even hugged her back.
"Where have you been? Why do you call the human your pup? What are your demonic powers? Oh, you have sooo much to tell me, sister!" Sakura exclaimed.
"I call Rin my pup because I love her as if she was my daughter. I have been in another time, far into the future. I'm not sure how I got there, but when I was there, I had a charming human family. They loved me as if I was their own, and I had a younger sister, and a younger brother. Kagome and Sota. They were my family, and I never really had much use for my powers till my sister, Kagome, never returned from this time. The well that she used for time travel was sealed up. I had to use my powers of time travel to get here, and it wasn't easy. Before, I had only ever used them to go back in time so I could get to class on time, and I knew the exact time that I had to be in. but when I traveled here, I had no clue what exact time period it was, nor where Kagome was. Sesshomaru saved me, after I tried to fight him, but we were torn apart by Kagome's pure energy, and we really didn't feel like being purified, so we went our separate ways. He saved me when a tiger demon attacked me and knocked my sword out of my hands, and I couldn't defend myself very well." Miaera said, pausing for a breath.
She continued. "I can time travel, heal myself, kill people by singing, shoot fire, ice, or water out of my hands, and I can control dirt. I can use any element against someone, and kill them with their own attack."
Sakura seemed impressed, and very shocked. "How do you have the power to go through time? I don't believe that father has that power, and I know that no priestess has that kind of power. Hmm… it must be from where your demonic powers and your priestess powers reacted together. Or where you were exposed to that power many times, and you just developed it."
Miaera touched her chin with her fore-finger, deep in thought. "Hmm… well my sister, Kagome time traveled a lot through the well, so I bet that I got it from that!" Miaera felt a nudge on her back, and she turned and looked at a cold Sesshomaru. He ticked his head towards Sakura, then at the small ring on the girl's left hand. She understood, as well as a nosey Sakura.
"You can't, be together, you know. I really wish you could, but it won't happen. Father really believes that she's married, and I doubt that he's going to allow a married woman to become a mate of Lord Sesshomaru. I'm sorry, sister, but you two just can't be." Sakura said. Sesshomaru and Miaera both sighed, and Miaera let a tear escape. Sesshomaru gently turned her around to face him, and wiped it away. Miaera leaned into his chest, and hugged him, not letting go.
"Guys, I'd hate to butt in, but the girl is asleep again, and she is about to fall out of the tree she climbed into to get away from me." Sakura said. Miaera nodded, and caught the falling girl, and laid her back in her little bed Miaera had made for her. She stood again. And walked back to Sesshomaru. He put his arms around her, again, and pulled her close, trying to calm her unspoken fears.
"We will never be, will we? I mean, father won't let us be, I know, and society won't let us be." Miaera said, letting out her fears, and confusing the other demons.
"Society??" the other two asked.
"Yes, how many times have there been attacks on coupled demons? They wouldn't let up on a demon lord, either. They use one of the demons against the other. They either imprison and torture, or kidnap them, and say give in or they died." Miaera sobbed into Sesshomaru's kimono, and he felt something on his chest he hadn't ever felt there before: wetness, and remorse. Remorse because he couldn't calm her, or help her. And wetness because she was soaking his kimono with her tears, and he didn't care bout that part, though, the kimono would dry in the night air.
"Miaera, I know its going to hurt, but it's supposed to be that I marry him, and I have to, its part of the agreement. And really, its also to stop a war father was planning on the western territory." Sakura turned to face Sesshomaru. "He didn't tell you because he was afraid that you would take everything the wrong way, plus he knew that you needed a mate. He decided to stop any plans he might had given his general before he changed his mind, and made a deal to give you me. At first, you were supposed to marry her" she pointed at Miaera, "but than she was gone after things happened, that dad refuses to speak of. Hey! Maybe you can use that as leverage to get him to let you two to be together?"
"Maybe! Hey, doesn't that mean that father is in Sesshomaru's palace?" Miaera asked. Sesshomaru smirked, and nodded. "Then why did we travel to find him if we knew that he was there?"
"Because I wanted to get out of the palace and be alone with you, though I didn't want to admit that that is why I wanted to travel anyway." Sesshomaru said, in his usual dignified, cold tone, making Miaera smile. "What?"
"You say something so cute, and sweet, yet you say it in a monotone. I find it a little bit funny." Miaera said, laughing, and drying her tears. Sesshomaru smirked, not daring to smile with others around. "Hmm… does he even know I'm here? Father, I mean?"
"No, I doubt it, sister"
"I think differently, he immediately knew who you were, Miaera. I only told him who you were, not which you were. For all he knew, when you were in the room with Rin, you were her nanny. But he knew exactly that was you. But my question is: where is your shooting star on your forehead?" Sesshomaru asked, confusing Miaera, and leaving Sakura to rack her brain.
"OH!! That's because we female demons don't get them till we marry. If we marry someone that's not a noble, then we both get the shooting star. But if we marry a noble, we get their sign on our forehead and our sign on the back of our left hand." Sakura said.
Sesshomaru nodded, he never really understood the whole sign on the forehead thing with the females. He just assumed that they had it immediately after they were born. He had never witnessed being around females when he was younger to know for sure. Sesshomaru's mother had had the Western lands sign, he just assumed that she had had it all of her life, being a dog-demon. He sighed, knowing there's just some things that he would never understand, thought he doesn't admit it aloud.
He remained cold throughout the sister's 'catching up' conversation, not really getting them. Yet another thing Sesshomaru didn't understand: girls. They hated each other a second ago, and now they are acting like the best of friends! He really didn't want to ruin their talk of their favorite kimono fabric, but he did anyways.
"Miaera, I'm not taking you back to the castle tomorrow. I'm taking you to Kagome, and you're going to explain everything to her, and then do what she needed you to de, whatever that was, and I will come after you in a few days. Sakura, when Rin, Jaken, and Ah-Un wakes up, I will explain to them that you will be taking them back to the palace, and how they are safe with you, and you will not hurt them. I will be taking Miaera there faster, and I cannot take everyone at once, Rin is far too talkative and would anger me with distraction. Now, everyone is going to sleep, and build up their energy for tomorrow." They all did as Sesshomaru said, and the girls lay down, whispering.
"Miaera, Sakura! I hear voices!" Sesshomaru growled.
"You know, you should really get that checked. That's a sign of insanity." Miaera said, making Sakura laugh. Sesshomaru inwardly smiled, but outwardly growled and his eyes turned red. "Grr!" Miaera said, mockingly. What she received as a punishment for that was hands on her shoulders and he back against the tree. She gasped. "Woops, hit a nerve." Miaera said. His hands softened at her voice, and as she leaned up to kiss him.
He put her down after kissing her back a few times, and pulled her over to the stream bank. He sat down, and began to meditate, but with her in his lap. Her face was red, and becoming increasingly like fuscia at the same time.
"Calm, Miaera, your making it difficult to meditate. I can feel your tenseness radiating off of you." She relaxed a bit, but not much, making Sesshomaru sigh and open his eyes. He started laughing at the color of her face and the look on it as she sat in his lap, making futile attempts to relax. "I'm really glad we are out of earshot, or else I'd have to say it was you laughing."
Miaera began to laugh as well when he fell over and she landed on top of him. They both sobered of as they looked into each other's eyes. Miaera began to kiss him, but was stopped when she saw the look on his face. "What?"
"I am the alpha male, I will start the kissing." Miaera sighed at these words, but what else could you expect from the 'alpha male?' she nodded, and was rewarded with a kiss. She kissed him back, and began to stand. She was then tackled to the ground by an unknown person, not understanding why the unknown person was hugging her.
"Get off of me, why are you hugging me? Get off!!!!!" Miaera screamed while trying to push the person off her, trying to figure out why Sesshomaru wasn't helping her. The person leaned back, and pushed back her hair. "Kagome? Is that you?"
Kagome smiled, and hugged her again, then helping her up to her feet. Miaera looked around for Sesshomaru, seeing him with his sword out, and pointed at someone who looked like Sesshomaru. "Inuyasha?" he turned, and waved.
"Hey Miaera, Kagome sensed you and Sesshomaru after she became a half-demon cause I made her my mate, and we kinda figured that he was the one that kidnapped you. We decided to come save you."
"Inuyasha, stop. Come here and smell her, she smells a bit different." Kagome said. Sesshomaru even came with Inuyasha and smelled Miaera. Shocked, Miaera fell to the ground, wide eyed as both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru stiffened. Inuyasha whispered in Kagome's ear. "No way, no she's not! He kidnapped her, not-" she stopped at a look from the male demons. Sesshomaru shook his head, and Inuyasha put a finger to his lips.
"Tell me, I demand to know, or else I will freeze each of you in your spots till someone tells me what's going on!" Miaera saw a pleading look from Kagome to Sesshomaru. He sighed and nodded. Kagome helped Miaera stand again, and led her away from the men.
