Heart Music
Chapter 7
By LadySafire
Kagome"Taisho was InuYasha's child? "
The information just kept echoing through her head. How did it happen? How did she come to be carrying a child from each brother?
A quiet voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
"Now try to relax and ignore the noise, Miss Higurashi. If you can, try to sleep as our patients find it makes the whole ordeal go faster." Said the tech kindly as she pulled a warm sheet over the young woman's legs. "Oh before I forget, did you take the prescription the doctor ordered for today? It said on the chart he faxed over you are mildly claustrophobic?"
Kagome gave a slight nod.'" Good, then put in these ear plugs and close your eyes and relax, let the medication work. It will take about an hour for us t complete your scan. I'll be in the booth over here and I can hear you. If you need out or to just take a break let me know. Would you like a small towel over your eyes?"
"Yes, please. I'd very much appreciate it." The young woman gave a slight smile. "I REALLY hate these things."
The tech laughed. "Between you and me…I hate them too. Only for me they have to knock me out completely. Kind of ironic, isn't it? I run the damn thing and yet I'm terrified to be in it!"
Kagome giggled at the other woman's words, feeling a little more at ease with the test they were about to do.
Soon she was laid back, a warm sheet draped over her. As the bed rolled into the large chamber, Kagome fought down her sense of panic, taking deep breaths and forcing her tense body to relax.
Soon she could feel herself start to drop into a light doze……
She lowered his head and her body to the satin covered bed. She pressed kisses along his jaw, sneaking her tongue out to taste his skin. His flavor exploded in her mouth, tasting of dark sinful nights, wildness and the delightful musk that screamed MALE. That, coupled with his own unique smell of ancient forests and incense burning temples, nearly brought her to a shivering climax. She slid her mouth to his ear, slowly licking the lobe before sucking it into her mouth and lightly nipping the skin.
She moaned as his warm mouth settled over her breast, his tongue slowly circling her nipple. She brought her hand up to help support his head allowing him to draw her breast deeper into his mouth. Settling his hand at her hip, he held her in place as he slowly ground his hardness against her aroused and aching center.
Kami, it had never felt like this with InuYasha. With him it had been soft and sweet but this..this was primal, wild and the Gods forgive her, she loved this feeling of being untamed .
A small shiver again raced through her body as her companion growled low in his throat and brought his hand up her side lightly dragging his claws over her skin coming to a stop at her breast, stroking, kneading and just barely brushing the pad of his thumb over a the turgid nipple.
She slowly ran her hands over his hard and well-defined chest, her fingers tracing all the dips, valleys that made him male. She took her thumbs and rubbed them over his pale flat nipples, using her thumb nails to rapidly flick across them. This motion elicited a louder growl, and an "Again! Harder!" harshly whispered into her ear.
Feeling a sudden heady empowerment, she did so, only this time adding a bite to the juncture of his neck and shoulder. A pleasure induced snarl ripped through the quiet of his room. His hand snapped up to her head, forcing her mouth back to his where he proceeded to thoroughly ravage it, his tongue slipping inside to taste her sweetness. His hand again made it's way down, rubbing and stroking any skin he came in contact with. Sliding it between their bodies, his fingertips lightly brushed against her damp curls. (A brief thought flashed through her mind that it had been a very good idea to have Kaajin remove Sesshomaru's IV temporarily, otherwise they could have gotten it tangled around them or ripped out when the moon pale demon began to get aroused.)
She gasped softly as a long finger slipped gently into her warmth and wetness, gently circling the aching bundle of nerves found there. Soon, he had her rocking against him, her moans and soft cries a siren call to him.
"Sessho, we need to complete this soon." She whispered urgently against his mouth as her hands frantically ran over his skin, tracing the proud strips that ran over his chest and remaining arm. Every little bit they'd drift back to the hard pale disc's on his chest for another hard flick . "The boost I gave you will only last for so long."
"I don't want to rush this, Kagome. I want to savor each and every minute with you. I want you to always remember this night with pleasure when I am gone." He whispered back drawing his lips to the pounding pulse in her throat and lightly scraping his fangs there.
He began to groan and growl more as she kissed him with increasing force and need.
She drew back taking in his rapidly reddening eyes. While she did she could also feel the energy bond she'd formed between them beginning to lessen. As pleasurable as this was, she had a duty to end it to ensure her survival and that of her possible fetus. She had to make sure it was severed soon. And it broke heart to do so.
She didn't want her pale lover to die.
Reaching between their bodies she took his hardened length in her hand, stroking several times firmly. The pale demon ripped away her hand and plunged his member into her warm and willing body. She hissed in pleasure as he filled her, little frissons of pleasure darting everywhere.
He stilled, ceasing all movement. "Dammit, Kagome. I'm trying to take it easy on you!" He growled out, his jaw clenched and his body trembling as he tried to keep from thrusting passionately into her.
The raven haired woman rolled her hips forward teasingly, deliberately trying to provoke him in to losing control. "Why, Sesshomaru? I'm not some shy virgin. There will be no pain."
She leaned forward, taking his lips in a hard kiss, moving away towards his delightful pointed ear, tracing the edge with the tip of her tongue and whispering. "Lose control and take me now, Sesshomaru. Make me your mate and give me your child so I won't be alone when you're gone." And she again bit him, hard, at his neck juncture as if she were trying to mark him as hers.
With a sudden roar, he sat up in the middle of the bed, holding her close with his remaining arm (it still pained her to see the stark white of the bandages covering the stump of his left) and plunged deeply into her body. Kagome gasped at the feeling this angle elicited. InuYasha had been a strictly missionary man and her on top like now had been a definite no-no.
Sesshomaru shifted her so her legs could wrap around his waist. She looked at his face and was caught there, staring his beast, face to face, for it was very obvious his darker nature was in control and Sesshomaru was along for the ride.
Whimpering loudly of need as he pushed in her deeply, he darted forward to nibble and nip at her collarbone.
"This one has desired you since we saw you at the brother's home. We wanted you under us then but his mark and our respect for the brother prevented it. But we have you now!" came a guttural moan against her skin as he began to thrust harder into her. "So hot, so wet so tight, my onna, my Ka-go-me! Be my mate, be only mine!" Sesshomaru ground out as he set a frantic pace.
The dark haired woman had no choice but to hold on to him tight, biting her lip as a coil seemed to tighten in her belly, heat beginning to streak throughout her body.
'Gods what was this??!!'
" This had never happened before!"….was her last coherent thought as the coil snapped and cried out her release. Sesshomaru gave one last hard thrust, howling out his pleasure for all to hear before burying his fangs into her soft shoulder.
She cried out slightly at the pain but was still too lost in the pleasure he had given her to notice it much.
He pulled his mouth away from the new mate mark, licking at the blood that still oozed from it. It melded perfectly with the one InuYasha had given her.
"Ours." A single clawed finger made her look at him , then reached out to touch a small visible part of InuYasha's mark. Her eyes locked onto his now molten gold eyes. "Our mate. Always." Then leaned forward to tenderly claim her mouth in a gentle kiss.
"Miss Higarashi, wake up. You're done." Spoke an amused voice beside her.
"Hmmm..Sessho?" Kagome groggily asked.
The voice laughed. "No, I'm Tammy, remember."
'Tammy?' Kagome's eyes shot open. "Oh my god! I fell asleep! I was dreaming!"
Tinkling laughter spilled from the little blonde's lips. "It's alright. It's sometimes better that you do." She held out a hand and helped the sleepy woman sit up."From the smile on your face while you slept, it must have been a doozy of a dream you were having."
Kagome flushed hotly as she remembered her dream, which hadn't been a dream at all but a memory.
A memory that still haunted her.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Kagome slowly unlocked the door to the apartment she and Kaajin shared. If she was in luck just maybe able to snag a short nap before Kaajin came home with the twins.
Twins. That was the other thing. She had questioned her doctor who just happened to be half-youki. She had ordered an ultra sound of her uterus and the results had been surprising. She had a rare condition known as a double uterus. Essentially her womb was divided in half.
So when she had slept with Sesshomaru, she had already been pregnant InuYasha's child.
Kagome wearily sat down on the couch, rubbing her temples for a moment looking for some small sign that her headache was going to ease.
She leaned her head back, trying to relax.
"Kami, what if it is a tumor? What was going to happen to her babies?"
SESSHOMARU"Sesshomaru-sama, I have followed the girl as you requested." Squawked Jaken's voice from the speaker phone on the antique black desk.
The leather chair creaked slightly as Sesshomaru shiftedforward, his face impassive but his mind rushing and wondering at what his spy would tell him.
"And what have you found, Jaken?" he asked impatiently. "She shares an apartment with Kaajin Kaido, the nurse who cared for you after the accident."
"Really?" he pale demon said, deceptively calm.
"Yes, Sir," squawked the water kappi voice. "Also there should be a envelope with some pictures on your desk, Sesshomaru-sama. I think you should look at them before I say anything more, sir."
Sesshomaru saw the packet and quickly slit in open using his sharp talon. Several photos spilled out on his desk. He picked one up showing a full facial view of Kagome, running the tip of his claw down he curve of her cheek. He gave himself a shake and set it aside quickly, picking up another. This one was of Kaajin, his former nurse and caregiver. He glanced away from it, only to have his attention grabbed by the one that lay directly beneath it, almost as if it were begging to be noticed.
It showed Kagome sitting in the grass, holding a white haired child in her lap as another hugged her around her neck.
"Not a child," he whispered his eyes drinking in the toddler forms. "Children."
"Sesshomaru-Sama are you there?" came Jakens whiney voice.
"I'm here Jaken. Is there anything else you wish to report?" he asked coldly.
"Well…"
"Spit it out Jaken!!!"
The Taiyouki could almost see the little imp jump in fear through the phone line.
"Well, sir, according to everyone I have talked to, " he hesitated before continuing. "Kaajin Kaido is her mate and the childrens father."
" WHAT??" roared the Inu demon, angrily. "She is MINE! The children are MINE!!! No one touches what rightfully belongs to Sesshomaru!"
Without a second thought, the thoroughly pissed Inuyouki male roared out a pained cry and ripped the phone from his desk, threw it against the wall where it promptly smashed into plastic shrapnel and tangled wires.
His secretary quickly stepped into his office upon hearing the commotion, her eyes widening when she saw her employers glowing red ones.
He threw a small black leather address book at her and snarled "Call Kagome Higarashi and tell her I want her here within an hour. And cancel all my appointments for today and tomorrow. Something important has come up that I must attend to!"
"Yes, sir, Mr. Tashio." Murmured the older woman hesitantly, unsure if she would keep her head and job if she walked further into the room to retrieve the small book.
"On second thought, never mind Mrs. Yamata." The angry demon spoke as he moved from behind his desk, menace in every step. "I think I will pay Miss Higurashi a personal visit."
He made his way to the rooftop, to hell with the car and limo, he was going to orb to her home and confront her. He wasn't only angry but hurt as well.
Damn her!! He thought they'd connected on a personal level when they had created their children. Why had she done this?!
He reached the roof and gathered his Youki, forming the green ball that allowed him to reach destinations in seconds. Maybe he could burn away some of his anger in transit.
No such luck. When he landed in front of her apartment complex he was still furious.
He stood there, gathering the icy calm he was known and feared for.
Taking a breath, he strode quickly into the building and made his way to the floor the Kagome was supposed to live on. As he walked along it he could catch brief and tantalizing whiffs of her fragrance.
Gods, even as angry as he was at her, the briefest hint of her smell and he was instantly aroused, wanting her pressed against him, his hand running over her soft skin her body writhing passionately against his.
He growled viciously, giving himself a brisk mental shake. Now DEFINITLY was not the time to think about that.
Sesshomaru came to a stop in front a door, the mingling and strength of scent telling him that those within had lived there a while.
Taking another deep breath, he knocked briskly on the door.
As it opened, her full bodied and female scent hit senses like a brick wall. The brief arousal he'd been fighting spiking again.
"Sesshomaru? What are you doing here?" spoke Kagome, worry clouding her normally soft and sexy tone.
He pulled a photo of the children out of his pocket and snapped it up in front her now shocked and frightened eyes.
"We have a couple of things to talk about, don't we my love?"
She closed her eyes and sighed heavily, opening the door wider. "I think you had better come in."
As he moved past her, his hand brushed hers, an electric current seeming to suddenly run between them. His suddenly pink streaked eyes snapped to her surprised blue.
Without warning he leaned into her taking her mouth hungrily. It had been so long, too long without her taste, her scent…HER. He had been so long without his mate. He thrust his only hand into her hair holding her to his mouth with bruising force demanding her soft lips to part under his so that he could gain entrance and stroke her tongue with his own agile one. He vaguely registered the door closing behind him and soft feminine hands starting to caress his body, face whatever she could reach. Pushing her roughly to the wall, he pinned her hips with his, the intimate contact making both shudder with need and pleasure.
"Why did you leave us? Why did you take our young and hide?" he whispered, his voice husky, almost guttural. His beast side, his most basic side had slipped out. His kisses became harder, more brutal, punishing her for the separation from her mate.
Grinding his pelvis into her, telling her without words what he wanted. His hand left her hair to stroke her breast roughly, pausing to roll her nipple into jutting hardness.
"Gods, Sesshomaru, what are you doing to me?" Kagome moaned into his mouth.
"Punishment for leaving, my mate." He growled out as he suddenly lifted her one armed into the air, her legs automatically lifting to lock around his hips.
"Bedroom?!" he ground out, as he raked his fangs across her pulse point.
"D..down the h..h..hall, first …uh…door." She moaned as he continued to ravage her throat, kissing, licking and sucking at all the sensitive areas he remembered from before.
Following her directions he strode quickly to her room, viciously kicking the door open and laid her on the bed.
He knelt on the floor beside the large mattress, running his hand over her leg and thigh as he kissed his way up the other. Slowly sliding his hand under her skirt, he slipped his thumb over where her panties were the dampest, stroking a circular pattern over the thin cotton barrier, applying more pressure each time he passed over the swollen nub. He could feel the small bundle of nerves starting to protrude against the fabric. He smirked as her moans increased as she started to thrust frantically against his busy fingers.
"Oh Kami, Sesshomaru take them off! I want to feel your skin." Kagome whimpered as she clenched her hands in the coverlet.
With a strangled snarl, he pulled the offending bit of cotton away, quickly tossing them aside. He inhaled deeply, his body trembling as the full scent of her arousal curled through his system.
"You smell exquisite, my love." He whispered seductively against the soft skin of her inner thigh. "Do you taste as good as you smell, my sweet?"
With a low growl he leaned forward, feeling Kagome shiver with need as he lightly traced the outer edge of her sex with his tongue. Taking his hand from her hip, his slipped his fingers into her folds, exposing her pearl to his gaze.
"May sip from your fountain, my sweet Kagome and taste your sweet nectar? May I pleasure you until you scream my name?"
At her whimpered assent he moved forward again and twirled the tip of his tongue around her nub. Leaning ever closer, he contentedly listened to the moans of his long missing mate to increase.
Just as he began probe her femininity deeper, he heard a phone begin to ring. Much to his chagrin and frustration Kagome answered it.
He leaned his head against the edge of the bed, trying steady his breathing ignoring for the moment who she was talking too.
He was at a loss at to how things had gotten so out of hand.
Sesshomaru looked up in askance as Kagome replaced the handset and scooted off the other side of the bed.
Without looking at him, the dark haired woman she went to a nearby dresser and pulled out a fresh set of panties, trying to remain standing as she hurriedly slipped them on.
He stood slowly as she spoke, still refusing to look directly at him or into his eyes, as she gestured towards the bathroom.
"You may want to wash and regain you composure, Sesshomaru. That was Kaajin on the phone just now. He and the twins are on their way up as we speak. He was asking me to get the door for him." He watched as she quickly and nervously made her way to the door. "Please plan on staying for dinner. We have a lot to talk about."
His mask slipped back into place. The Ice King was again in residence.
"Indeed we do, Kagome." He said coldly, as he stepped in the tiled room and snapped the door closed. He needed a moment to himself before he went to meet his children for the very first time.
