Ok now on with the story

Chapter 10:Serene and Meeting someone new

Serene

they had been walking all day at a slow pace for Kagome's sake. The poor girl was horrible at walking, her clumsiness knew no bounds, it was almost comical really. How she would hold onto his sleeve as she followed him being tugged along as she looked at everything around her, everything except where she was going. I could only assume that was why she held my sleeve in that deadly grip of hers, because every rock, root, nick and nannie she managed to trip on she never let go of his shoulder. It was like every bump in the road and even flat surface was out to get her, because her feet always managed to find something to trip on, even on flat surface. He was fearful of the small hill they were coming to. He did not want to know if she could fall up it. Yes up the hill, it would be to simple if she fell down the hill she would have to fall up the hill.

He thought back to little of an hour ago hen they were walking and beside him he heard an "AHAA!", so he turned to see what was going on. Kagome was starring at this rock that she hoped over, but when she took her next step, she almost tumbled over like her ankles gave up on her. He almost bust out laughing, he was thinking of accussing her of falling on air, but seeing her pouting he couldnt manage it. He simply pulled out the pouch of water and gave it to her. He ordered her to drink which she complied to as she walked on nursing on it.

They surprisingly didnt have much difficulty getting up the hill, but he did learn something about the girl as we ventured down the rocky side of the hill, it had many drop offs on this side and even though they were not very high she seemed hesitant to move, he wouldnt give it much thought for the moment but it might be something he would need to look into, for curiosity's sake.

As they continued on they came into a path and continued on it going northeast they needed to come into the woods again to go east but if they took the path it would be better for Kagome and her clumsiness atleast, and so far the path was grassy. So they changed directions slowly and walked about an hour more that is until he noticed more and more weight being applied to his sleeve.

Kagome was still nursing on her water but her limbs were becoming heavy and weary from travel. He couple of days in the castle she had never traveled this long or so far, she didnt know how much longer she had in her, but she would push on nevertheless.

He had forgotten that the girl wasn't used to walking at all let alone such a distance. She seemed so full of energy and perk that the walking... and tripping he chuckled softly, wouldnt faze her. He stopped then and met her confused stare.

"If you are tired then tell me."

"But..."

Sesshomaru had given her a look that had stopped what ever she was gonna say. Then he bent and lifted her into his arms bridal style, thats when she felt the small tentacles of fear, as soon as her feet came off the ground her arms wound around his neck as she tried to pull herself closer to his body, closer to safety.

She was tense in his arms, but slowly she relaxed as she leaned her head into his chest and took deep breathes.

Her head was over his heartbeat and she could hear it sort of, it was hard because of the armor that was in the way, but she managed, the fear slowly dissipated and she felt better, but she didnt like how she couldnt feel the ground underneath her, how unsure she was of the air that held her. No. she had to stop those thoughts. She focused on his arms and how strong and big they were as they held her to him, she could feel one stroking her thigh, along with the soothing sounds of his heart beating in her ear, slowly pulling her into the realm of dreams.

He could smell her fear and how she was unsure as she clutched to him around his armor, but then she stopped, she had been flailing as she tried to move closer, so he began to rub patterns into any skin he could reach with one of his hands, it just happened to be the one near her thigh. She calmed slowly and soon she could feel the comfort radiating of her in waves as she relaxed into his touch, his chest swelled with pride, how easily she trusted him, even though she had been afraid... but that was the question afraid of what. What was different. He almost faced palmed himself when it hit him, like a ton of bricks it smacked him upside the head, with her new legs she was unsure in her movements and steps, of course if the security of having something anchoring her to the ground gone she would become fearful. She could barely walk straight for that matter, if you took away the ability to somewhat control her movements then of course she would be fearful, like floating in a black abyss of nothing, having nothing to hold you down, drowning in your fear of the unknown. It was so simple now, she was scared of heights. She has lived her whole life in the water where everything was just a flick of her powerful tail and she could do anything. Then she is pulled from the water given legs and forced to learn how to use them, even if she was happy and curious, didnt mean she wasnt scared of the change. Then to take that away and give her absolutely nothing, no control at all, of course she would freak. It made him feel even better that she trusted him so easily, knowing that she was safe and protected, enough to even go to sleep in his arms. She needed the rest and he would let her have it. He continued down the path as he watched her serene and peaceful face. Thats when another thought hit him, but it did not worry him at all he actually even smiled.

'How he would love to wake up to that every morning of the rest of his life, to hold her next to him, and bury his nose in her hair.'

meeting someone new

Kagome woke a couple of hours later and noticed the sun was far in the west. She looked up to see Sesshomaru looking at her and she smiled.

"morning hotshot."

"You mean evening."

"yeah, whatever. So do you know where we are?"

"we are still on the path."

"Ok, do you mind if I get down."

Kagome blushed she had napped in Sesshomaru's arms all afternoon. She was soon placed back on her feet, as she found herself slightly more steady she began to walk next to him holding onto his sleeve. The path was becoming more worn down as they walked and soon the grass was completely replaced by rocks and dirt, Kagome stopped moving, when she noticed the change, but was pulled along from holding seshomaru's sleeve. She couldnt take the rocks digging into to her soft feet and instantly released his shirt in order to stop moving. Sesshomaru also stopped when her hand left his sleeve and thats when he smelt it. The smell of her blood wafted up to him even though it was very faint. He walked up to her.

"where are you hurt?"

Kagome didnt look at him, she continued to look down with her face scrunched up with a look of mild pain on it, she then pointed down.

"Sit."

Kagome then stumbled over to the grass leaving little drops of blood on the ground. Her feet were bleeding and when she sat down she lifted her feet in the air for her inu to see. He walked up to her and bent down, grabbing one foot in his hands by the ankle. He moved it looking at it.

"You need to tell me if you are hurt, or if something is wrong Kagome." he was frowning at her and Kagome's head drooped slightly to keep from looking at him

"sorry." she said softly.

"Next time."

she looked up confused

"next time you will tell me."

then a look of determination flashed through her eyes.

"yes."

he pushed away the dirt and rocks, brushing them from her feet. He then brought it up to his mouth and began to lick her foot. Kagome's eyes widened and she began to giggle slightly and tried to wiggle away.

Sesshomaru gave her a pointed glare, and she giggled more

she apologized between breaths and giggles.

"hahaha, im hehhe sorry... hahaha... it... mmmhahaha... tickles." she breathed it was hard to laugh, talk and breathe.

He looked her in the eyes, and she stopped laughing. His were slightly red as he growled at her. They stared each other down as he continued to lick her foot. The bleeding had stopped so he gave it one last long lick, before switching to the next and starting the process over. Her blood was delicious, and made his craving for her even more apparent.

Butterfly's were in her stomach and little tingles began to shoot through her body, it was weird, this feeling. It was very new to her and she knew not what it meant.

As he licked to his hearts content the smell of her arousal slowly crept up on him, causing him to growl again, as the red in his eyes spread. Kagome couldnt look away, that look did funny things to her and she was highly confused, she wanted to ask him what it was, but for some reason she knew that it would be highly embarrassing to say.

The cuts were very small now and wouldnt do her any harm but he figured it would be good to bandage them anyway and it would help her walk some one the terrain if she had something between her and the ripped a piece of his sleeve off and used it the cover her foot completely, and then did the same with the other foot. He then stood pulling her to her feet. He was going to turn away when the had on his cheek stopped him. He looked at her and watched as she went up on her toes and as she pulled him down. He watched her lips pucker and and his breathe hitched as his mouth watered, his beast began to beat on his cage pulling and tugging at the chains, but his mouth went lower still and was slightly confused when they passed her plump lips. Once she stopped moving his face he felt her lips on his forehead. He smiled and closed his eyes as he enjoyed the little kiss. And once she pulled away he sat up straight and opened his eyes to see her smiling up at him, and then she opened that little mouth of hers again.

"thank you, Sesshomaru you are a very good doggy."

his eyes snapped to her face to see the slight smirk on her face, she was teasing him, and damn it he wanted to retaliate.

"Yes, but you should be worried, I was able to taste your blood, I might come back to eat you next time."

he said with a smirk, he would enjoy eating her, even though he meant the more sexual way then the one he lead her to believe.

"oh no, I might have to run away before that happens."

"I would catch you easily you are very slow and clumsy." he said it a bit more huskily then he had intended. Not that she really noticed atleast he hoped not.

She pouted and turned away. "you wouldnt eat me."

she was challenging him, and fuck he couldnt stop himself even if he wanted to, and for the love of god he didnt.

"Really is that what you think." he stepped up behind her and grasped her hips stopping her from moving as he bent down and licked her neck slow and long all the way from her collar to her ear. Her head lolled to the side giving him more room. "I must disagree with your logic." it was almost a growl as he spoke in her ear. His voice dropped several octaves as he spoke again. "I would love to taste you." he felt her shiver underneath his touch and he licked her neck going down to her collar this time before he stepped away. Her scent was strongly getting thicker with her arousal, and his control was slipping. He took several deep breathes and opened his eyes. She was facing him, and stared at him what he saw almost made him loose all control, he had to close his eyes to stop her from seeing them. They were completely bloodshot now. The lust and want in her eyes pulled to him, but then he noticed the confusion and knew that she had no clue what was happening to her. He turned away and spoke with a calm that betrayed all the emotions he was currently feeling.

"I shall return with some fire wood and meat stay here."

her answer was shaky and she was slightly confused but she managed to say ok before she sat in the grass to think. She had no clue what those feelings she was having where, and she couldnt ask her mother at the moment. She sighed, she hoped sesshomaru would return soon, she didnt like being alone.

Sesshomaru used the time alone in the woods to calm himself and his beast, it was not yet time for them to show the mermaid what it was that she was feeling atleast until she could understand some of it, and then he would have to ask her family for their permission if he wanted to go about things the right way, no matter how painful the waiting was. He was very frustrated at the moment and what better way to blow off steam then with a hunt. With that thought he was off running through the forest looking for prey, when he came across the sent of a deer, it wasnt far. He began to track and when he landed in the clearing where the deer was it ran. Sesshomaru smiled a vicious and cruel smile, how he loved the chase. He played with it for a while chasing it catching it and letting it go but when the sun finally set he figured he had waisted enough time and killed it. He then lifted it and quickly went back to Kagome. When he entered the clearing he found her sitting under a tree playing with a flower and some grass, he dropped the deer and walked back into the forest for some fire wood. When he came back he started the fire, he cleaned his kill and pulled it into pieces placing some on the fire and others on the fur for him to eat. He then walked over to Kagome to see her still playing with the grass and flower. The flower and blades of grass were moving even though there was no wind an she wasnt touching them.

"what are you doing?"

she had this look of concentration etched all over her face as she mumbled "practicing, my powers, all the females have some kind of powers that there dads and moms usually teach them how to use, but since my father is never around I must do it on my own little by little I found out some new thing, like right now I realized that I could feel the water inside the plants and control it, see I'm making it move side to side."

"Oh, then what do the males have?" he was curious and she was opening up to him, she was usually tightlipped about such things.

"Brute strength, speed, and such mostly, some of the stronger ones like my father were able to read minds and control things."

"things?"

"Yeah, people and animals, I wanna know if I inherited that power so im practicing on these plants, it seems that I have."

Sesshomaru's eyes widened, if she was able to control people in the wrong hands she could be very dangerous. The thought didn't scare him though, if anything it excited him, the possibilities of what she could do arousing him. The image of him being forced on to his knees as she sauntered closer with a look of pure lust in her eyes, shit what the fuck was he thinking, what did he have some kind of twisted philia or obsession now? He just didnt know what would happen next with this girl.

"Hnn, well you can practice later, its time to eat and then bed."

"Ok, I was getting tired anyways."

they stood and went over to the fire where they would eat the meat that sesshomaru had prepared for them. And when they finished Sesshomaru stroked the fire adding more wood and walked over to a tree removed his armor and sat down. Kagome didnt know what to do but she did know one thing she was not gonna sleep alone. She walked over to Sesshomaru and laid down across from him, close but with atleast two feet in between them. Hours passed and the temperature dropped, sleepily Kagome woke and sat up. She was freezing, she turned around and saw sesshomaru and his fluffy thingy, then thought that it would be soft hit her as she began to crawl on all fours closer to it.

Sesshomaru's eyes widened as he watched her crawl to him. His breathing increased becoming almost erratic as she crawled over to him, her hips swaying behind her. She crawled right into his lap, and as soon as her hand touched his leg he let hissed a soft groan. She then continued moving, his head dropped back as he reminded himself over and over that she was still sleep and she didnt know what it was that she was doing, but that didnt stop his body from reacting to her touch, his pants grew tight and he had to open his legs to relieve the pressure unfortunately for him Kagome noticed and moved in between his legs mumbling a soft thank you. She then drapped her legs over his left leg and turned pressing her chest to his as her arms went around his neck holding her to him. He dared not breathe.

Kagome crawled into his lap she was slightly wobbly as she saw him open his legs and make room for her, she thanked him and sat inbetween and then pulled herself as close as she could and fell back asleep to the sound of his heartbeating even though it was a little faster then normal.

She was so close, her hip pushed against his hard member, her head rubbed against his chest as she wiggled against him, he bit his lip. She shivered and he groaned. She was cold, she was seeking warmth from his person, atleast he tried. He told himself over and over again that that was all it was. She moved bringing both her legs between his and she pulled herself up closer to him, her hip grinding into him, causing his eyes to roll back, if she got warm would she stop her moving, stop tormenting him. She moved again and sat back the loss of her closeness caused him to open his eyes and see half lidded blue eyes staring at him. She leaned closer bringing her head on to his shoulder and then wrapped her legs around his waist. Then she slowly slid down as she fell back asleep, the soft rumble in his chest lulling her back to the world of dreams.

How the hell did she not notice, it had to be because she was sleep, all her movements were slowed and sleepy like, she wasnt aware. He wrapped his arms around her waist slowly, she was still slidding, he groaned again and rolled his hips before he could stop himself, thats when he heard the soft whimper. He froze, an arm slid down his chest and then went around his waist, the second following it shortly after. Her whole body sagged until her bottom touched the grass. But as soon as it did she tightened her grip pulling herself closer, pulling a moan from Sesshomaru, he didnt know how much more he could take.

Two hours passed and she hadnt moved, he thanked every kami there was and then them all over again. With the way his skin was heated she was most definitely very warm. He closed his eyes to get some rest and await morning, his body had finally calmed down some, and all the tenseness left him

the next day Sesshomaru woke up from a very colorful and provocative dream that included himself and the girl who was currently laying on his chest. She had moved again. He didnt know when or how but she did now she was laying her head on his shoulder and her legs tangled up with his right leg. His arms were still draped across her waist and so hers were holding his midsection. He tried to sit up some, because somehow he had ended up on his back laying down. He had gotten onto his elbows when she moved again. He looked down at her and watched as she moved one of her hands to his chest and pushed up a little and looked at him. She put her back down and mumbled a good morning showing no signs of moving.

It took a while before they were up and moving again, but eventually they were. They continued down the path when Sesshomaru smelt a human heading in their direction, and a lower class youkai towards the south, from the pace they would all meet up at about the same time. That was until the human picked up his pace and began to run in their direction. Seshomaru stopped and Kagome looked up at him, whats wrong inu, then she heard something in the distance and turned to see who was coming down the path, he was 15 feet away when Kagome was able to see him clearly. He walked up and stopped two feet away. He looked at the Sesshomaru and then Kagome before he spoke.

"There is a demon coming closer, I came to investigate, I did not know that there was this lovely flower here also."

"Oh well hello to you to sir, may I ask your name."

"Miroku my lady at your service." miroku then bowed and kissed Kagome's hand, he then looked to the demon and saw the death glares he was receiving and decided it was best for him to stand away from the pretty onna.

"You must be the great lord of the west."

"Hn."

Kagome looked at sesshomaru and then back to the strange man that wore purple robes. He had deep brown eyes and was taller then she was. He carried a staff and had beads on his left hand.

Kagome was gonna ask why he had beads on his hand when another demon ran up behind them and stopped five feet away.

"MMMMMM I knew I smelt a human, and what do we have here, a beautiful onna, she smells delicious."

"If I were you lizard I would keep my body parts away from the girl." said sesshomaru as he stared icily at the lizard youkai.

Miroku was confused, the lizard only mentioned one human, and a girl, she looks human and she does not have any yoki so she cannot be a demon, and if she was a hanyou the lizard would have said so, then what is she, I must confirm.

"Lizard you must be confused there are to humans here."

all eyes looked to miroku, one pair of golden eyes that held suspicion and hate, a pair of blue eyes that held a touch of worry an curiosity, and a pair of black eyes that held confusion.

"Hiissss, nooo, you are the only human priest..." and as soon as that was said the lizards head had been melted.

Damn it, not in time. He had melted the lizards head but not before he spoke those words. Now he would have to watch the monk closely.

"Monk why are you traveling?"

miroku turned to face the demon lord and spoke. "I am hunting Naraku, he has killed my family and cursed me with this kazanna on my left hand."

"A wind tunnel." spoke Kagome with curiosity. "What does it do?"

"Shall I demonstrate?" he asked

"Go on."

"Hn."

Miroku then pulled the beads from his hand as he pointed it at the remains of the lizard youkai, he then opened sucking the youkai into the black abyss.

"And that is pretty much it." said miroku once the youkai's carcass was gone and his hand bound again.

"Come monk."

"Are you after Naraku all so."

"Hn."

Kagome looked at Sesshomaru but said nothing, as they continued to walk on going northeast.

Kagome and miroku would talk, as they walked and he told them of a river that fed into an onsen just ahead. They reached the clearing that was near the onsen by night fall and set up camp, it was obvious that the monk had already been there.

Kagome looked at Sesshomaru with a pleading look and he already knew that she had wanted a swim as soon as the monk mentioned the water.

"Fine but I will go with you."

"Yay." cheered Kagome as she hopped around.

"What are we yaying about?" asked the monk.

"Im getting a bath today." said Kagome as she stopped jumping.

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, she didnt even hesitate as she told the little white lie.

"Why does the Sesshomaru-sama not let you bathe?"

"What, oh no, its just that we havent been near a body of water in a day and it has been oh so hot, I feel slightly deprived of the comfort."

"Oh I see, well isnt it good that we stopped here?"

"Very much so! Hey Sesshomaru should we go now?"

"Yes, I trust that you can set up camp monk."

"I will get to it."

with that said Sesshomaru and Kagome walked in the direction that her inu smelled water.

Hmmm I wonder what secret that the inu lord is hiding that revolves around that onna, I must figure it out, oh a little spying couldnt hurt, beesides seeing that beauty naked cant hurt anyone, I must make sure to mask my scent and powers so that the inu will not know that I am near.

How was that guys did you like it let me know, I love it when you review, it truly does make me update much faster.

Bye for now,
