Another Chapter as promised!


Chapter 9: Desired


Kagome felt nervous as she walked the hallway towards her Lord's office with Akina behind her for support. Tonight she would ask for her debut celebration like all the other concubines experienced. As she came closer to his door she grew nervous. She could feel his aura behind the door and her hands began to sweat. She could feel his aura grow as they got closer and she calmed herself remembering what she was to say.

They came up to the two oak doors. Akina watched as Kagome gathered her nerves and squared her shoulders. "I will be up the hall, little one." She stated with a flash and a smirk in her gaze.

Kagome nodded still looking at the doors in front of her. Holding her head higher than usual she waited till she heard a soft enter. Pushing the doors open she strolled in quietly with her eyes locked on her target. She couldn't explain it but she had a new feeling about herself. She felt…bolder.

Inuyasha looked up questioningly with his ears turning in the direction Kagome came from. He sat up straight as he looked at her walking towards his desk. Something was different about her.

Jasmine slowly came to his nose and he looked at her curiously. She bowed to him and waited for him to respond. She heard the sound of movement and looked up to see him standing right in front of her. She watched as he placed two clawed fingers underneath her chin urging her to rise and look at him.

Blinking in confusion she watched as his striking gold gaze looked her over and stared into her own deep pools.

Inuyasha couldn't place a finger on it but something definitely had changed. Her scent was much more enticing and pronounced than usual. Heavier - it fell on him as if she was charming him to her. He made the mistake of looking at her in the eyes and he couldn't look away. Had she always had such big soul scorching eyes? He wondered as he peered down at her rubbing her chin slightly.

Swallowing he willed himself to say something. "Well…"

Kagome's heart rate sped up at his touch. Swallowing the shocking new and sudden reaction of affection she began. "My lord, I wish to ask something of you." She stated still caught in his gaze.

He nodded as he waited for her request. "Get on with it." He asked demandingly as his senses searched her to know what about her was so…intoxicating.

Kagome couldn't focus as she felt his clawed hands grip her shoulders as he looked at her. His eyes seemed to darken somewhat like real honey would spill out at any moment. Her lips grew dry and she licked her lips slightly while her mind tried to regroup. "I-I wish to have m-my debut."

Inuyasha saw the pink appendage come out and he grew curious. She smelled of jasmine but what did she taste like? He sniffed her scent again and took note that it was growing thicker. His fingers had trailed to the sides of her face and were now gripping her head.

He bent down and his lips slowly grazed her own lightly. "Is that all?" He asked as his voice deepened. Kagome felt his breath lightly on her face and the wild smell of pine in the forest reached her senses. Surely this demon should be running wild somewhere? She thought to herself as her lids began to grow heavy.

"Yes" She managed.

"Feh." He said as he closed the gap and captured her lips in his own. Gasping Kagome's eyes grew wide open before softening some. His mouth moved on hers delicately at first, tasting what was his now according to the reason her presence was even in his house.

Kagome stood still feeling the foreign yet pleasant sensation of his lips on her own. Warm and inviting soft flesh landed over her own as if telling her it's alright. It was light, like the brush of a feather, but when it came back a second time, it was firmer and more substantial; she found herself wanting to give back. But how?

She tasted divine like a mouthwatering apple that was ready for the picking. Her lips were soft and unmoving like she didn't know what to do. Inuyasha's eyes opened a little at the thought. Sniffing again deeply and flexing his aura he smirked. She was untouched he knew but surely she had been kissed before. But he could tell she knew nothing. Sniffing again he knew he was in a special kind of hell or heaven had been too kind today. She was in heat. Smirking, he decided mentally. "I will teach her."

He took her lips for a journey. Each time, the pressure built, until he stopped just above her lips. She'd managed to keep her eyes open before, but now they slipped shut of their own will, closing out the burning gaze of her Lord before her while heightening her senses to a nearly unbearable degree. She felt the need to push back and so she responded with a swipe of her own. The heat from his lips and the rough pressure of his palms against her face sent signals she didn't truly understand through her body, and the flame she could now recognize as arousal burned hotter and hotter with each passing second. Her rieki sparked the space around them with a pink strand as it taunted his own demonic energy that rose to the top with curiosity and desire. Blue energy crackled and slowly began to dance with her own pink energy testing its will to submit to him only to have the pink energy spark against him and grow.

Her hands came up onto his arms gripping them tightly. Inuyasha's hold on her loosened and shifted until his claws gripped the base of her skull where they tried desperately to bury themselves in her hair. He pulled gently on the thick locks as they fell away from their hold. She tilted her head back in compliance, feeling a pleased rumble vibrate against her lips.

It went on and on, and Kagome finally lost track of time as her mind gave up the pursuit. Her world had narrowed down to the singular points of contact between them, the main one being the melding of lips that had her suddenly ready for more than just a kiss. Inuyasha pulled back from her with a deep inhalation. The air was electrified by their current as neither one of them backed down form the challenge.

She too gasped for breath, and watching his chest rise and fall, she had the sudden urge to touch him. She swallowed, still panting for breath through swollen lips, and reached out with a shaking hand. He sat still until the moment her fingers touched his kimono, and then he reached up and caught her wrist in a firm, gentle hold and then guided them to his neck where they dived into his thick silver locks.

Inuyasha cupped her cheeks in his palms and felt pride well up in his chest at the expression on her face; brown eyes dazed and half-lidded and mouth parted just so, she made an arousing sight—Inuyahsa leaned forward and kissed her again. The desire grew with each passing second, and the twisting of blunt-nailed fingers into his hair was all the indication he needed to know that the miko felt the same want. Her miko energy intensifying but instead of burning him it felt as if it was soothing his own demonic energy and enticing it to join her.

Deliberately, he drew himself away, though he did not resist the urge to lick her lips, savoring her flavor as though he would never have it again. For a moment, only their heavy breathing interrupted the silence, and then he set her away, his body screaming for release. He quickly calmed himself to subdue his demonic energy while feeling her own still dance wildly about her.

She gazed up at pinkish eyes that were set onto her own and she couldn't look away. Was it possible to find this demon more attractive in any other way? She took a deep breath. "Inuyasha…?"

Dear gods how he wished she wouldn't sound like that. He groaned and closed his eyes as Akina came in bowing. " Two months on the summer solstice." He said roughly as he looked over at Akina who nodded.

"So be it." She responded causing Kagome to look back with a blush on her face. "Come little one." Akina commanded as she strolled away out into the hallway making sure not to get too close to her miko energy just in case.

Still breathing heavily she looked back at her lord with wide eyes and tinted cheeks. He bent down to place a quick kiss on her lips before turning her towards the exit where she walked dazed into the hallway where Akina awaited.

Akina closed the door and quickly began walking down the hallway. "Two months." She mumbled. She looked back at a still lost Kagome. "He gave you two months my dear. No concubine has ever had such time." She said with a smile.

Snapping out of her daze she gazed up at Akina questioningly. "I don't understand."

Akina smiled as they turned the corner. "Young one, he has given you two months to prepare yourself for your debut which also means the day he will take you. No concubine ever had such a short time. We were all given six months to train and become experts in whatever arts were chose as well as to be ready for the taking."

"The taking?" She asked trying to keep up with Akina's new found speed due to her excitement.

Akina stopped then and smiled with her feline eyes as they held mischief. She looked over Kagome's head for a bit before smiling wider. "Yes, dearest. He has given you only two months to prepare for your debut which will also be near the time he makes you his in every definition of the word. Not even the great Kikyo was given such a gift."

She turned and began walking away. "We must quickly get to work finding you an art to display for your debut, entice Lady Kaede to become your miko trainer, and to prepare you for the taking."

She looked back at Kagome and nodded quickly. "Well done Kagome, he truly desires you now more than ever."

Kagome swallowed and blushed at what Akina walked in on. She saw a few strands of hair and realized she must look truly a mess. Then she thought on Akina's words. She touched her lips where he had kissed her. Never had she felt such a feeling. Her heart still fluttered and she wanted so badly to turn around and go to him. Smiling she licked them with new born confidence remembering his touch.

I can do this.


Quickly walking through the house she searched for his aura. "Inuyasha." She murmured reaching the hallway that would lead to his personal office.

She had come to talk to him. She needed to talk to him. She needed to come home to him and be by his side again. Seeing his door at the end of the hall she picked up her pace. Suddenly the air around her become thicker and charged as she came closer. She turned at feeling Akina's aura appear and race forward towards her person. Hiding quickly and securely behind a marble column she used her hands and sealed her aura. She waited till Akina passed before peeking over the column at her actions.

Akina walked to the two doors and strolled in without knocking. Puzzled Kikyo watched patiently for her purpose to be revealed. A few minutes passed before she came out with the young miko behind her. Kikyo looked on with calculating eyes at the miko's rumpled appearance. Stands of hair was out of her combs, her kimono was shifted revealing a shoulder as she fixed herself, and her face held a tint to it. Her aura sparked dangerously without control causing her to flinch from the power of it.

Frowning Kikyo waited till they passed her hiding spot. They were almost gone from view when Akina stopped. She looked out and shrank back as Akina looked directly at her with a smirk and spoke out loud.

"Yes, dearest. He has given you only two months to prepare for your debut which will also be near the time he makes you his in every definition of the word. Not even the great Kikyo was given such a gift."

Gasping Kikyo frowned realizing what Kagome and her Lord were doing before Akina came to get her. Furious she watched as they walked away around the corner gone from view.

Kikyo fumed as she stepped into the hallway with shaking hands. "That little -" She said angry at herself for even allowing that slip of a girl into her home to take what was hers. She would be damned if she had him taken from her. Turning she looked at the door from which the miko came from and adjusted her kimono to reveal more ample flesh. As she came closer, she could feel his demon search for a way out.

I will use this moment as my chance. Maybe I should thank the little girl, she has made this too easy. She thought with a smirk as she sauntered into the room. She looked over at Inuyasha who stood bent over his desk gripping it with extended talons. He looked wild and untamed as she watched him fight for control. A little jealous she came in slowly watching his reaction. He looked at her with a pink gaze and she could see the inner battle he was having. Yes, the miko has made this too easy. As she began to undo her kimono watching him as he watched her clothing fall to the floor.
