Chapter 9: Kagome's Realization
"KAGOME!"
The Miko's eyes widened in fear as Sesshomaru's eyes became red with fury. (That damn filthy hanyou!) He raged.
Kagome's heart skipped a beat at his blood filled eyes, and did the first thing that came to mind. She brought both of her hands up to his face and pulled him in for a kiss.
Sesshomaru's beast was purring, and his eyes instantly returned to their golden hue.
"Go, quickly!" She told him. Without another word, he was gone.
InuYasha's enraged voice was getting closer. "Kagome, you bitch! Where are you-"
Kagome's scream rang through the air. "SIT!"
A loud boom was heard, before Kagome quickly dunked under the water and raised her powers to purify Sesshomaru's sent around her. She sprang out of the water, drying and dressing in her battle costume in record time. "Sit!" She shouted again when she heard him grumbling.
She gathered her belongings, tenderly folding the kimono before walking toward the hanyou with her bow and arrows.
She came to the red-clad hanyou who was deep in a hole, growling.
"I was taking a bath, you idiot!" Kagome told him, completely forgetting her injuries in favor of scolding the half demon.
"Feh, nothing I haven't seen before." He mumbled, sitting up.
Kagome's eyes blazed. "Sit!"

"Holy Hera, that was hot!" She breathed, fanning herself. "Tops to that, it was better than anything I could have come up with!" Aphrodite giggled.

Kagome was fuming the rest of the way back to camp, and sulking and annoyed half dog demon behind her. All the while she was muttering about stupid, arrogant dogs and their lack of privacy. Now why did that seem to go two ways?
A blush ran over her cheeks as the scene replayed in her mind. The way his perfect body pressed against hers, the way his velvety voice sent shivers down her back…
"Thank you. For saving me, I mean." She spilled out, smiling slightly. "I want to repay you."
Sesshomaru glared down at the Miko. "That is unnecessary." He told her with authority.
"It is necessary, Sesshomaru." She said. Slowly, she raised her hands from her naked chest and placed them on what remained of his left arm. Her hands and his arm grew brightly for a moment, before she pulled away and smiled at her handiwork. "It didn't seem right, about you and your perfect-ness being without an arm." She smirked.
Sesshomaru looked down at his newly acquired appendage. He clenched his fist, smiling as it felt like his original arm. He turned to Kagome, suddenly completely aroused. Placing now both of his arms on either side of her head, he had her against the stones of the spring pressing her naked body with his own. Kagome tried to pull back, but he could tell by the scent of her arousal that she enjoyed this.
"You have given me my arm back." He told her, dangerously close to her lips.
"Um… yes…" Kagome breathed. She ran her tongue over her lips, Sesshomaru's eyes following the action. He pressed against her harder, and her mouth opened slightly in a pant.
"You are mine." He said.
Kagome shivered, but not from the cold, as she brought the kimono she was holding closer to her chest. Could he have really meant that? He had to have. Sesshomaru had to much pride and honor to lie, even if she was a Miko.
Kagome brought her hands up to push slightly against his chest. "Wait, no! Hey, Sesshomaru! That remind me you arrogant prick of youkai! Sine when do you have the right to claim me?"
Sesshomaru bucked his hips against hers; his bathing pants the only thing between them as Kagome refused to let the moan escape her lips. "Since you have infatuated this Sesshomaru with your powers. You weave a spell around me that makes me think of nothing but you. You hold me prisoner. This is something that no woman, demoness or no, has done."
Kagome looked up at him, completely shocked. "What did you say?" She whispered.
"Wench, I told you I do not repeat myself!" He all but growled, grinding himself against her.
Kagome gave a gasp, before pushing against the TaiYoukai again. "Wait a minute, that can't be true! You hate me, you've tried to kill me, remember?" She threw at him. "What are you even doing? You're just messing with me, Sesshomaru! So that you can get my guard down and get to what ever it is that you want." She said glaring.
Her defiance made his inner demon rattle against its chains. It wanted the challenge, it wanted to tackle her and ride her till she couldn't stay conscious anymore. "You are wrong, Miko."
InuYasha's nose flared at the strange new scent weaving around Kagome's pure one. Her scent seemed… heavier. It was earthier. What was she thinking about?
"You're defiance makes my demon crave you." He said, holding her so tightly that it almost hurt. Her heart was beating quickly, her breath taken away at his boldness. There was no way this was the real Sesshomaru. I mean, come on, his name even means 'The Destroyer of Life'!
"You're intelligence in my Father's tomb surprised me. When you told InuYasha to pull out the sword and attempt to injure this Sesshomaru's pride, I knew I should be wary of you. Then when neither of us could pull it out, you, a mere human, did. However, I knew you were no mere human. My beast managed to do something that I had no allowed to happen since Father's death… it came loose. It wanted to claim you. That was the true reason that it transformed. After you were still alive from my poison attack, it knew that you were something… different."
Kagome shuddered at the husky tone in his voice. "Then why did you attack InuYasha?" She asked.
"Because the half-breed was defending you, and my Beast saw him as a challenger for you."
Kagome bit her lips as her heart fluttered in her chest. It began to beat wildly, and she raised one of her hands to place above it in a vain attempt to calm herself. According to what Sango had told her, he had been talking about the challenge for a Mate.
She gasped, covering her hand with her mouth as her eyes opened wide. What was this sudden feeling of joy in her heart that made her want to soar? She couldn't be… could she?
Kagome, however, had forgotten all about the fact that InuYasha was behind her. When he heard her gasp, he grabbed her shoulder and whipped her around. "Kagome, are you alright?" He asked, worry flashing momentarily through his eyes.
However, that look soon turned into that of confusion by the look on her face. InuYasha's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized her. Her blue eyes seemed to be glazed over, and her face was all red with a look of being shy and happy at the same time. "What's with you? And why do you look so funny?"
The insult was enough to snap Kagome back. "Excuse me?" She said with her hand now on her hip as her temper flared into life.
InuYasha knew what that meant, and he shied away from her. "Nothing! Stupid wench, leave me alone!" He said, walking past her to camp.
"Why you…" She snarled, before following him. Sango and Miroku looked up curiously, having woken up a short while ago. Shippo was still asleep on her sleeping bag. Kagome smiled at them brightly, deciding it best to just ignore the mumbling idiot or else she would get another headache.
After they made breakfast and continued on their way, Kagome let her thoughts drift back to Sesshomaru. She again brought the kimono to her chest, holding in her arms instead of packing it away for fear of it getting wrinkled. Kagome felt her cheeks become warm, and she knew the she was blushing again. After replaying everything that had transpired recently, Kagome had no doubt about it now.
Higurashi Kagome was very well on her way to falling head over heels in love with one TaiYoukai Sesshomaru.
Kagome looked down at her feet, subconsciously following her friends as they walked down the dirt road through the Warring States Era of Japan. Actions spoke louder than words, and actions happened to mean a lot to Kagome. She knew that Sesshomaru was being honest. His intentions were honorable. He would never stoop so low as to let anything ruin his honor, that she knew. And his intentions…
Kagome blushed, remembering how close his body came to hers, and blushed at the memory of a hard thing trying to push its way between her legs.
She moaned mentally. Ok, maybe they were completely honorable. But for some reason, Kagome didn't have a problem with that. No. Instead, she actually felt flustered about the whole thing.
She, a Miko from 500 years in the future, had somehow managed to attract the sexiest and deadliest demon alive, past or present!
Suddenly, Kagome looked up. Her eyes rested on the back of InuYasha, and she felt a pain her clench her heart. He had known of her feelings for him for all this time, and still he chose to ignore her and become, if anything, more of a jerk. Kagome knew that she could never come between InuYasha and Kikyo. She had seen them together and how InuYasha treated the dead Priestess enough to know the truth. However, she had never stopped hoping that one day he might look at her and see Kagome, not Kikyo.
How ironic was it that Sesshomaru, who had tried on several occasions to kill her and was the older half-brother of InuYasha, managed to do just that?
Kagome blushed again. Was this what the Goddess had meant? Could it be that Sesshomaru, the coldest demon alive who can kill anyone in half a breath of time, would love her?
A bubble of hope grew inside of her, and she smiled a bright smile. Yes. She had no doubt about it. He may never say it to her, but that was just fine. Actions speak louder than words, and that is all that mattered to Kagome.

Aphrodite fell backwards and landed on her butt with a thud, even though she was on a cloud. "It's about damn time that girl realized it!" She let out a sigh.
Then she scowled. "Now for that stupid dog. Oh, man! This is going to be harder than I thought…" She sighed, before pushing up her sleeves to her elbows. "Well, let's get this over with. I most definitely do not want to spend eternity trying to play matchmaker for these two!"

Sesshomaru growled, ripping the report from one of his spies as he sat at his desk in his castle. He could hear Rin teasing Jakken outside in the garden, and he growled.
He had retreated to his domain in hopes of ridding himself of his thoughts of the Miko, and his excruciating erection. So he went to busy himself with the stacks of paperwork that came with being the Lord of the Western Lands.
However, he found his thoughts kept drifting. The close encounter he had with the Miko was driving him crazy, and not just mentally. If he didn't do something to relieve this tension and soon, he would snap and return to take the Priestess whether she was willing or not.
His eyes flashed red, before he stood up. Jakken, who had apparently been reading a scroll, stood suddenly. "Do you need me for something, my lord?" The toad asked.
"I'm going to patrol the lands. Stay here." Came Sesshomaru's deadly voice.
Jakken gulped and nodded, bowing low.
Sesshomaru was gone. He needed to kill something…

"Looks like the puppy has extra energy. Maybe I should go down and play?" Aphrodite sang. She smiled. "This could be fun." In a flash of silver, she was gone.
