Within Darkness
Chapter 9
Amaya watched Inuyasha take his first steps toward Izayoi. Amaya had counted the months since his birth and hated everyday of those ten months. Not because of Inuyasha, btu because she never truly mended ways with Togaou. Amaya caught Inuyasha on his return trip and positioned him to toddle back to his mother. Being outside, the wind brough a new yet familiar scent to Amaya. She went to the outskirts of the palace, outside the gates, and waited.
"I know you're there, Sesshomaru."
Amaya watched Sesshomaru emerge from behind a tree.
"You still watch over them?"
Amaya shifted her body, showing Sesshomaru Tetseiuga. "You see the answer at my waist, Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru nodded, seeing the sword he longed for hanging on Amaya's waist. Amaya knew that he knew that she had sworn to protect Izayoi and Inuyasha for as long as possible; which allowed her to use Tetseiuga.
"I do. Does Father's fang allow you to use it?"
"It has yet to bit when I draw it."
Amaya watched Sesshomaru cross over to her and look down at her, being nearly a good head taller than she. Amaya began crying with no explaination.
"I saw it. I saw everything," she said through sobs. "Damn Takemaru."
Amaya felt Sesshomaru wrap his arms around her, pulling her close. She did not resist the small comfort Sesshomaru was giving. After some time, Amaya's sobs quieted and stood there within Sesshomaru's arms. She felt light kissing on her, trailing down to her neck. Amaya lifted her chin, which allowed Sesshomaru full access to her neck.
"I want you," he whispered between kisses. "When can I?"
It'll look suspicious if you came to the palace." Amaya gasped when Sesshomaru groped a breast. "They still remember the fire."
"Then let me have you here. Now."
"Wait until nightfall, please. The court...they accept me as guardian."
Amaya felt Sesshomaru pull away and watched him regain his compsure. She saw him nod, which she accepted and returned to the palace. That briet encounter had been enough to have Amaya's loins burning. She wanted to run back right then and allow Sesshomaru to have his way with her. Yet Amaya had learned enough self control to not do that. She returned to Izayoi and Inuyasha with a smile. Amaya saw that Inuyasha had gained his footing. He toddled over to Amaya and pulled at her kimono.
"Uh." Inuyasha raised his arms.
Amaya bent down and picked up Inuyasha. She carried him inside and placed him down on his futon for a nap.

Amaya waited until night fully fell before she slipt from the palace. She found Sesshomaru easily enough. She threw herself into his arms and felt him feverly kissing her. Amaya raised her chin and looked over Sesshomaru's shoulder. Her hands worked on freeing Seshomaru fron his clothing. Already, Amaya could feel that Sesshomaru was ready.
Not yet, she told herself.
Amaya felt Sesshomarus hands eas her kimono open, the obi falling to the ground. At that point, Sesshomaru pulled away and stuided Amaya's body. Amaya had not let her body go like the humans occasionally do. Amaya leveled her head and looked at Sesshomaru. She felt a gentle touch, a nail lightly grazed Amaya's skin from just above a breast and trailed down over her abdomen to her crotch.
"Will you taste just as good now as you did that night," he asked, not even looking at Amaya's face.
"Why don't you tast me and see?"
Amaya used a hand to lift Sesshomaru's head and gave him a seductive smile. He returned it. Amaya did not need to pull Sesshomaru down with her while she went down to lay on her back. SHe needed no prompting to spread for Sesshomaru. He came down to her level and began to lick and message her. Amaya moaned when she felt the first touch. Sesshomaru drove Amaya, close, but drew back away from her.
"Am I to assume you want no mark," he asked.
"Yes, no mark."
Sesshomaru lightly kised his way up Amaya's body, causing her to smile. Amaya felt Sesshomaru push into her, causing to gasp outloud. He pulled out then pushed back in. He moved and took one of Amaya's breasts in his mouth and began to suckle on it, rolling the nipple with his tongue. He did this while stil thrusting himself into Amaya. Amaya moaned, enjoying it after months of being celibate. She felt herself coming, daring not to hold it back. She released a moan of ecstasy when she finally came. She then felt weight on her then realized it was Sesshomaru. Amaya figured he came as well since he had stopped. His weight was spread over his body, his phallus still in Amaya.
Amaya smoothed his hair, taking in his scent. She listened to the trees, how they talked in the wind. Amaya had little doubt that Moriko would hear by morning. Finally, Sesshoaru moved off of Amaya. Amaya sat up, crossed her legs, and looked at her lover.
"What do you plan on doing," she asked.
"Return home."
The next morning, Amaya woke in her chamber to see Moriko waiting for her. Amaya sat up, keeping the covers up over her.
"Care to tell me who your lover was last night?"
"Sesshomaru."
"You do know..."
"Yes. But I'm not marked."
Amaya let the covers go, which reveiled her nude upper body. That allowed Moriko to see no mate mark.
"I do have charges. And it would not be wise not to have a full Knojou Ryuu for my heir."
"You still believe you have lands?"
"Don't start, Moriko. Yes, I inherited lands through no fault of my own."
Amaya did not want the Eastern Lands, yet she inherited them.
I'm becoming more like Sesshomaru, Amaya thought.
Amaya stood from the futon and went to dress in a clean kimono; assisted by Moriko. Neither spoke while Amaya dressed. Amaya left her chamber and saw a number of nobles cornering someone. Amaya approached them and saw it was Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha," she called.
The toddler managed to slip through to dash to Amaya. She picked him up, planting him on a hip and moved him away from the nobles.
"As for you, leave him alone."
