I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters. Except the ones I make up, but that will be a couple of chapters down the road.
The plot of this story does notfollow the plot of Inuyasha at all. So don't get all bent out of shape when you see what happens.
Chapter 9
Change-Make or become different
Sesshomaru woke feeling something on top of him shift and snuggle closer to him. His eyes immediately snapped open, his eyes first registering the brown and black crown of hair under his chin. After his eyes completely adjusted to the dark, his demonic sight taking affect, he realized they were both on the ground with Kagome lying on top of him in a ball, Her small hands were fisted in his haori, and his arm was around her, keeping her from movie more than a few inches.
He blinked, surprised.
How the hell did we get on the ground?
"My Lord!" Rin giggled, she sounded close. Said Lord looked around without moving, to see Rin a couple yards away. He raised a single questioning brow, without emotion.
"Lord Sesshomaru." Rin giggled again. "Was sleeping when he took Lady Kagome and jumped down to the ground. My Lord wanted to snuggle with Lady Kagome!"
Sesshomaru blinked… again.
He smelled no falsities in her scent, so she had to be telling the truth.
Why? Was the only thing that echoed through his mind.
He hadn't even been away he slept walked. Or whatever you call this.
He suddenly realized that Rin was still awake, though it was obviously well into the night. Then again, this was not uncommon. Rin wouldn't sleep at the beginning of the night, but when she did fall asleep, close to morning, she would sleep well into the day. Ah-Un would carry her until she woke up when that would happen.
He was still pondering this when she felt her stir again and heard her heart rate pick up.
She emitted a tiny groan before uncurling herself from her ball and stretching. She stretched her body down the length of his; she was a head shorter than himself so she fit comfortably under his chin.
She nuzzled her face into his throat, her body relaxing after being stretched taunt.
She breathed deeply, Sesshomaru knew she was taking in his scent, and hummed, pleased. Had she been youkai, she would have been purring.
She eventually stretched again before opening her eyes sleepily.
After a moment he seen her eyes clear and look to the moon. He could see it's reflection in them. It was a crescent moon, much like the one adorning her forehead.
Her eyes searched it before she closed them again and sighed, Sesshomaru could have sworn it was a sigh of relief and contentment. She drug her eyes open again and turned her face toward him.
Kagome nuzzled his throat before giving it a small lick of thanks.
The woman knows demon customs?
He watched as she stood, missing her body warmth when it left.
She once more glanced at the moon before walking off, toward a nearby river.
She will be freezing. River water is already cold as it is, and with winter swiftly approaching, it will be even colder.
Sesshomaru listened as the river water splashed, telling him she had entered
S/K
About an hour after she'd left, Kagome returned. The sun still had not risen, but Sesshomaru could see her form shivering violently.
She approached him, her eyes searching his for any sign of malice or protest before she knelt and settled next to him, cuddling into him for warmth.
Sesshomaru gently wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close. Her shivering slowly ceased as he held her. She looked at the moon again.
"It will be dawn shortly." She turned to him.
Ice Prince, I must request you tell Jaken to take Ah-Un and Rin to your palace. It is not safe for them to be around at this time. Do not ask questions, you will see what I speak of shortly. Just believe me when I say it is best for them not to be here for awhile."
He stared into her eyes a moment before giving a curt nod. He stood and walked over to Jaken before promptly kicking him in the head.
"Hey! Oh, Oh! My Lord! Yes, my Lord?" Jaken stammered.
"You will take Rin and Ah-Un to the Western palace. You will not return until this Sesshomaru summons you."
"Y-Yes Mi Lord." He did as he was told. After the doragon youkai were saddled up, Sesshomaru set a now sleeping Rin on top before Jaken climbed on after.
Just as the trio disappeared from sight, the first few rays of sunlight broke through the trees.
Kagome was quickly on her feet, walking past Sesshomaru to the center of the clearing. It was then that he seen the hole in the back of her Kimono where the bottom of her pelvis bone laid. (Just above your crack.)
She stopped at the center of the clearing and raised her face to the rising sun.
Sesshomaru watched as the sun peaked over the mountains and shined its rays upon her face.
He staggered backward before hitting a rock and falling on his as while staring at her.
He was first startled at the feel of a strong demonic aura exploding across the clearing, blowing the snow around her away from her, flattening the grass underneath, and blowing Sesshomaru's hair everywhere.
His eyes widened visibly as her hair started to lengthen and bleed red, the black remaining. Her ears disappeared from the sides of her head and reappeared on top. They were long and blood red, with long white fur sticking out of them. Her blue eye turned even icier, turning electric blue. Out of the back of her Kimono where the hole is, appeared a long, bushy, blood red tail with a white tip. On her cheek that was not covered by her hair, appeared a silverish white jagged cheek mark. Her nails on her fingers and toes lengthened and became sharper. At the very corners of her mouth were tiny, pearly white fangs peaking out of her closed lips. At closer inspection, the pupil of her eye was a slit, cat-like. Her skin had lightened to an ivory color, her marking barely visible except for the glitter-like glimmer it gave off in the early morning sunlight. She had since closed her eyes and now Sesshomaru could see the other markings she donned. On her eyelid was a black and red stripe. The red was down by her lashes, and the black was above it. Around her eye was a thin black line (like eyeliner). It looked as if she had make-up on. As a small breeze swept by, it made something move and glitter on her ear. Upon looking more carefully at it, he seen that she had earrings in. There was a small gold hoop near the tip of her left ear, and below it was a black stud. On her left ear was a black stud in the top and bottom, connected by a tiny chain with a silver crescent moon dangling from it. She looked amazing. She looked gorgeous. She looked like an ethereal beauty that was scent to earth for just Sesshomaru's hungry gaze. He watched the light shimmer off her blood-red hair, showing just how silky it looked.
He was captured.
A willing prey.
From now on, I'll be putting the word count down. It will be the very last thing on the page. Just thought I'd let you know before you start asking what the weird number is.
But you're all surprised, hah? No?
By The Way, I did mean to put 'doragon' instead of dragon. Doragon is the Japanese word for dragon, if you didn't know.
And, in the last chapter and in this chapter I used the word 'Gami'. It means toad, I believe. I'm not 100% sure though.
Tell me what you think! I won't post any more until I get at least 4 good reviews.
