Chapter 9: Sesshomaru's wrath
Sun touched Kagome's back shining down onto her peaceful face. She smiled feeling the warmth flow over her. She snuggled closer to her warm pillow only to freeze as her hand touched sooth skin. She screamed as she jumped up causing her to fall backwards out of the warm bed. Sesshomaru glared at her from the bed for ruining his slumber. She quickly scrambled to her feet and touched her hand to her heart. Her memories of the night before flowed threw her head as she looked at the grumbling man that moved out of bed. "Sorry." She said calming her body down with slow even breaths.
He huffed before falling to the ground and doing push ups. Kagome raised and eyebrow and watched his muscles ripple on his back and arms as he moved up and down. 'Wow.' She thought watching his every move. She shook her head and turned towards the door. "I'm going to get ready for training." She said before touching her hand to the door knob.
Her tiny hand was yanked away from the metal as she was whipped around to look at the mighty demon. 'Can't leave.' His beast growled from inside him. "You will have a resting day today."
"But…I want to train." Kagome whined back feeling his grip on her wrist tighten slightly but still remaining gentle.
"You will rest today and then start training again tomorrow. You may practice your miko power if you wish but only in the dojo." Sesshomaru stated.
Kagome sighed relaxing her shoulders in the 6 sizes to big shirt. "Okay." She whispered under her breath as she felt his grip loosen around her wrist. She smiled and hugged him around the waist. "Thank you for showing how much you care." She spoke into his chest.
Sesshomaru wrapped his warm arms around her feeling the warmth coursing through him once again. He placed his head on top of her hair, inhaling the sweet scent of lilacs and roses. 'Mine.' His beast seemed to sigh as her aura seemed to flow with his. 'How did this happen?' He thought as he felt her pull away from the embrace. She planted a tiny kiss on his cheek before leaving his room. His fingers touched his cheek while he stood were they hand embraced. 'No one has made this Sesshomaru feel so weird.'
Kagome slipped into her room and sighed as she danced around her room wrapping her arms around her chest. Her heart seemed to want to fly out of her chest and dance with her while her stomach flipped around. Warmth still encased her from his arms that made her feel safe from the world. She fell backwards onto her bed and stared at the ceiling. 'I love him don't I.' She thought as she placed a hand on her stomach that was filled with butterflies.
She rolled over on her bed and stared down at her clothes that were laid out for her. She smiled at the plain white kimono with black undergarments. She untied Sesshomaru's shirt from her petite form and pulled on the kimono. She slid out of the room and down the stairs receiving stares from the butlers and glares from the maids as she passed by them. She glanced over her shoulder to catch a maid glare at her back showing her fangs in anger. 'What's going on?' She thought as she moved towards the dining hall. She entered the room felt a bundle of fur jump up and latch his arms around her neck. "Kagome!" She heard her little kitsune scream into her shoulder.
"Good morning Shippo." She giggled as she hugged the kitsune close to her. "How are you?"
"I'm fine Kagome." Shippo grinned. His face then contorted into confusion as his nose scrunched up slightly. "Why do you smell like Sesshomaru?"
'Is that why everyone is glaring at me.' She thought as she looked at all the maids that glared at her while they got the table ready. "Sesshomaru helped me last night and I haven't been able to take a bath yet."
The tension in the air seemed to lower but remain at a dangerous level while she walked towards the table where an excited Rin sat. "Can we go see the horses today Miss. Kagome?" Rin asked excitedly.
Kagome giggled as she sat between Rin and Shippo. "Of course we can. I just need to take a bath after breakfast and then we can leave."
Rin grinned as she seemed to hop around in her chair even though her legs kicked out over the ledge of the wooden chair. Maids scurried to bring out breakfast for the three and watched them eat from a far. Kagome excused herself from the table after eating half her plate. Her feet padded down the hallway towards the hot spring receiving glares as she went. She sighed as her head lowered. 'Is this what it's going to feel like if I get with him.' She thought as she glanced at another made that growled at her. 'Unwanted.' She walked past the stairs not noticing the lord standing at the top watching her curiously. His ears caught the threatening growl that she had received from one of his maids. As she disappeared down the hallway he turned his eyes into a glare as he turned to the maid. Her silver hair was done up in a messy bun with rags of clothing covering her demon form. Her snarl turned into a smile as she bowed at her lord. Sesshomaru growled as he disappeared and reappeared in front of her grabbing her by her throat. "Warn every reached being in this palace that if this Sesshomaru hears of or sees anything rude or harsh directed towards Miss. Kagome I will kill them." He growled out whipping her body down the hall.
The maid felt warm blood drip down her face from the large gash that was shown on her forehead. She scrambled to her feet, stumbling slightly as she ran away from the enraged lord.
Kagome yawned as she entered the room staring the room that was in shambles the night before. She closed the door and locked it before moving her hot spring and sliding the obi shut. She quickly undressed and moved into the hot liquid. Her muscles remained tense as she took a quick bath, making sure that her stare never left the obi door. 'Why do I always need to be saved?' She thought as her hands glided across her skin rubbing on the soap. 'Am I that vulnerable…that…weak?'
Her fingers ran threw her raven locks as she rinsed the rose smelling soap from her hair. She took in a shaky breath before exhaling. Her legs pushed her body to her feet as she slowly moved out of the warm water letting the droplets roll down her cream colored skin and return to it's spring. She sighed at the feeling of the fluffy white towel rubbing her skin gently as the water disappeared.
She slid the delicate fabric back onto her body tying every string perfectly to show off her luscious curves. Her hands pulled back her soaked hair and rung it out into the spring. Her tiny fingers ran through the little tangles that formed allowing her hair to dry out on its own. Her feet guided her out of the room and into the hallway letting her blue eyes stare at the ground will her mind raced with thoughts and questions of her abilities.
Her thoughts were interrupted as she felt the warm rays of the sun touch her face. 'When did I get here?' She asked herself as she held up a hand to cover the blinding light as she stared at the fluffy clouds that rolled across the light blue sky. "Kagome!" She heard her kitsune yell causing her stare to avert to the barn. She smiled at the little fox that bounced around with Rin in front of the curious Clydesdales. Her feet moved across the grass gracefully as she joined the children patting the muscular animals.
"Rin wishes to show you her horse." Rin said grabbing Kagome's hand and tugging it towards the entrance to the barn.
Kagome dawned a fake smile that covered her on confusion and troubles. Shippo walked next to Rin with a bright smile as he looked at all the horses that remained in their luxurious stalls munching on green hay. "This is Rin's horse Storm. Rin can't ride him yet. No one can ride Storm." Rin said happily as they stopped in front of a stall that held the beautiful gray that had caught Kagome's attention.
Kagome released Rin's hand and moved towards the stall slowly while her blue eyes locked with his chocolate brown. His ears pricked forward showing curiousness in the being that walked towards him. She slowly held out her hand in front of his nose allowing his flared nostrils to breath in her scent. She smiled brighter as the horse nudged her hand and nickered. A giggled slipped from her throat as she rubbed the horses head placing her forehead against his own. She closed her eyes as he hands rubbed the horses face gently.
"Wow! Know one has touched Storm. Not even this Rin." Rin spoke in kindergarten astonishment before joining Kagome's side.
"Yes…I've been very confused about that myself Rin." Ray spoke from the entrance to the barn. His arms muscular arms crossed in front of his bare chest. His tan skin was covered in sweat that made his jacked body shine in the sun rays. Kagome's eyes widened before returning to her sockets as she stared at the delicious eye candy that stood in only his black karate pants. "What are you guys doing out here?"
"Rin wanted to see Rin's horse." The 6-year-old piped up with a bright smile.
Kagome turned away from the horse and nodded at the girl's statement. "She asked me if we could come to the barn during breakfast." She stated feeling slightly uneasy while his eyes stared directly at hers never releasing their gaze.
Shippo tugged on Kagome's sleeve making her stare turn to the little boy. "I wanted to show you the frog that Rin and I caught yesterday." Shippo said with a bright smile causing the little girl to the other side of her to scream "Yeah!"
Kagome giggled letting her voice float through the air likes an angels song. Ray felt a pang in his heart as he watched her bright smile make her cheeks flush a slight pink. His beast rumbled inside of him as he watched her move towards them with a kid holding one arm each. She was tugged past Ray by the feisty children. Ray moved out of the barn and watched them walk back towards the barn. Kagome smiled and waved a bye to him before turning to the kids.
Ray smiled and relaxed his arms at his side. "What am I getting myself into?" Ray whispered to himself as he scratched the back of his head.
"Nothing." A male voice growled from the shadows of the barn. Sesshomaru stepped out of the shadows and walked towards the barn helper that helped train his men and Kagome.
"Huh?"
"You will only speak with Kagome during your training or unless this Sesshomaru is with her. Understood?" Sesshomaru's voice growled out baring his fangs at the man in front of him.
Ray bowed at his lord never removing his eyes from Sesshomaru's glaring gold stare. "You should tell her." He said before moving back into the barn.
"Tell who what?" A female voice spoke from behind the mighty lord.
His golden eyes turned to the girl in question that stared at him with a worried confused stare. 'Tell her she will be are might by the next full moon. You must tell her soon.' His beast growled. 'But…that's in 10 days.' Sesshomaru thought as he stared at the girl's dark blue orbs.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked stepping towards the man that caused her worry.
Cliffy dun dun duuunnnn. Will Kagome find out that she is Sesshomaru's intended mate? How will she take it? I hope you liked this chapter. Please review!!
