Pairing: D/Kagome

Summary: She had a bounty on her head. A noble he had been sent for, a blood traitor they said. But the one his had mistaken her for was really a half-breed, more human than vampire but a kindred spirit and D couldn't help but find his person leaning away from duty and toward the desires of his heart.

Love Eternal

The night was quiet as D sat in a chair within the room he had booked for the night, watching the full moonshine down on him from the starless sky. The shadows that the moon made covered his naked form from the waist down, as he was deep in thought. A soft feminine moan sounded before he turned to the bed where his lover slept.

She looked to be about twenty years of age with her healthily pale skin glowing in the moonlight while her raven hair was tousled amongst the cotton white pillows. The sheets of the bed slid off her lithe form sometime during the night, leaving her bare to see her in all her wondrous glory, laying on her side facing him with her right arm covering her breasts and her right leg covered her most private of places.

Not wanting her to catch a cold, D stood from where he sat and made his way to the bed, unashamed nor embarrassed by his current state of dress (Or lack of). Once he had reached the bed, D covered his sleeping lover with the sheet and unfolded the comforter that was at the foot of the bed, covering her with that as well. Taking a look at her sleeping face, D pushed a stray strand of her dark hair back with a small but handsome ghost of a smile.

He didn't know how or when it happened but D never wanted to change it. The events that had transpired some hours ago… were something that he never wanted to change ever. The way her body seemed to fit against his… the way she was so responsive to his ministrations, and he to hers even with her lack of experience…

As he continued to watch over her, D thought back to the first day he had met her… seven years ago.

He was riding through the cool but not freezing late afternoon when he had made it to the town his current client lived. They said that there was a noble named Countess Kikyo had been terrorizing them and taking young men and children to satisfy her hunger. The town offered D the price of thirty million dollars for the job to be done.

After the client, who was also the mayor of the town, provided him a room to stay in at the local tavern, the parasite in the palm of D's left hand was ecstatic about the price and wouldn't shut up unless D fisted his left hand to force it to be silent. Rather than staying in his room to rest, D had set out to look around the town, hoping that the Countess would be out looking for her next victim.

From what the mayor had said among most of the townspeople, The Countess had long black hair with eyes that could make you lose all reason and thought. They also said that she would be well dressed, simple but never showing that she was of nobility and would sometimes ride into town on a cybernetic steed of silvery blue, silken to look at, yet cold to the touch.

"Heh, nice description for a horse." The parasite demon said for only D to hear. Even though there was no one around late in the evening, it didn't hurt to be cautious.

D soon heard the sounds of hooves clinking and clacking on the stone road up ahead. In the distance, he could see the outline of a woman riding a pale colored horse. As the rider came closer, he could see that the horse was exactly how the townspeople described Kikyo's horse. As for the rider, from what he could see, was a woman with long raven hair and was well dressed in simple riders clothes and a cloak of midnight blue.

The rider, as soon as she was close to him, stopped for a moment. She looked at him curiously as D chose this moment to take a good look at her to see if she was the one he was suppose to hunt. To make sure, he took out a photo of Kikyo that the mayor provided and made a comparison to the girl in front of him.

He put the photograph away and sighed. It would be a shame to do away with such a beauty. Yes, he had to admit, even if his target was a vampire, she was very beautiful. The parasite in his hand then began to wonder when his host began to appreciate vampiric beauty…

Before D was able to draw his long sword, a scream was heard from down the way. "NOOO! MY BABY! KIKYO, SHE'S GOT MY BABY!" The cry of a baby then sounded, alerting D and the girl he thought was Kikyo.

Quicker than he, the female rider took off to where the cry was coming from.

Kagome was just riding through town, in search of the Countess who had killed her father and grandfather so long ago. She had heard rumors that she was in this town, terrorizing its people. It was already late when Kagome had entered the town and it was eerily quiet with only the sound of her horse's hooves lightly beating on the smooth stone road.

Ahead of her, close to the local in, she could see the outline of a man standing. Curious, she rode on and stopped only when she was close enough to him to where she could get a good look at him.

She had to admit that he was tall, maybe close to seven feet tall. His hair a dark chocolate brown that reached close to the small of his back. His eyes were a beautiful ice blue color that reflected his mysterious yet sad and lonely soul. His facial features were beautiful in a manly way. And his skin was deathly pale, just like her father's from the way she remembered. Also, his black durable clothes clung to him like a second skin, it with the black armor while long black cloak gold linen on the inside reached down to his ankles. That's when she realized that, like her father, this man was also a Dhampire; half vampire, half human, not only in appearance but also from his conflicting aura that she could see.

(Basically, the way D's clothes look in "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust")

Kagome then saw him take out a photo and started to study her and the picture as making a comparison. Her brows furrowed unnoticeably when she heard him sigh as he put the back in the folds of his clothes.

It was then that Kagome hear a woman screaming about Kikyo stealing her baby. Forgetting about the man she was with, Kagome steered her horse to back where she came from not took long ago. Not knowing that the man in black was following close behind.

Sprinting down the street, Kagome picked up speed as the cries became louder. Growling slightly, she came to a stop, pulling the reigns of her horse to stop. "Kikyo." She said with malice as she stared down her doppelganger.

Kikyo smirked at her, babe in arms. "Kagome, how lovely to see you again."

"Give me the child Kikyo, you had no right to take him from his mother." She said. "And you know it."

"How long has it been since we had last seen each other?" Kikyo asked, ignoring what Kagome said about the baby. "Five hundred years? A thousand?"

D had caught up when Kikyo asked the girl, Kagome he heard, those questions.

"To live that long… do you think she's a Dhampire as well?" Left Hand asked D.

(That's the name of The parasite in D's left hand from I picked up on the character names of "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust")

D just fisted his hand lightly to silence the parasite so he could listen.

Kagome just gave an unladylike snort before answering, "Five thousand and four hundred and ninety years. The last time we met was when I was only ten years old… and when you killed my father just for being a Dhampire offspring of one of your fledglings. You killed him right before my eyes."

"Oh, yes. That's right. He went down so easily too." She smirked. "Just a shame I didn't kill you too."

"But the fact is that you didn't. Now, I'll say this one last time. Hand over the child." Kagome was getting really sick of Kikyo's games. Quicker than Kikyo could see with her vampiric eyesight, Kagome threw one of her senbon needles at the older woman's eye.

As a result, Kikyo cried out in pain and dropped the still crying baby. The world seemed to move in slow motion. As Kagome threw the senbon, Kikyo brought both hands to her eye where the sharp needle protruded. The baby dropped D's eyes widened, he knew the baby could be seriously hurt, if not die, if he didn't move quickly. Running, D grabbed the baby as it descended to the ground.

Once the baby was secured in his arms, he had kicked Kikyo in the stomach and made her skid a few feet back before she continued to cry in agony over the long needle embedded in her eye. By this time, Kagome had already dismounted from her horse and made her way to where D stood with the baby in his arms.

"Nice save." Left hand muttered in praise… despite the major stink bomb that was right in front of its face, within the kid's diaper.

Taking one look toward Kikyo to see her eye starting to burn and melt slightly, a sign that the needle was coated with Garlic juice, D tried to hand the baby to Kagome saying that he had to finish the Countess off. Kagome's eyes then became slit like a cat's while she hissed at him that Kikyo was hers to kill.

She never saw it coming. One moment Kikyo's hands were clutched to her eye, the next moment she was on her back with her doppelganger straddling her waist. Kikyo screamed at Kagome "What are you doing you crazy bitch!?"

Kagome smiled and pulled something from her pocket. Tapping the needle twice, she grinned sadistically before plunging it into Kikyo's jugular. "Essence of garlic straight to your bloodstream. I give you, oh about fifteen seconds of agony before you turn to ash."

D's eyes strayed to his hand momentarily as a chuckle rang out. "Sadistic little wench isn't she?" D nodded, knowing the parasite could see it. "Imagine what she'd be like in bed."

At this, D fisted his left hand again to make the parasite shut up. Really, this wasn't the time or place to be thinking things like that… especially when the said woman straddling the vampire's waist was about kill your target.

But within the blink of an eye, Kikyo seemed to have disappeared from right under Kagome only to appear behind her with her nails turning into claws, ready to strike with the senbon still in her Jugualr and her eye. And just as quick, somehow, D had sliced off her head with his long sword and the baby still in his left arm and with Kagome impaling the countess in the heart with a sword of her own that seemed to have come from nowhere.

And as a long pause was carried out, Kikyo's body had turned into a pile of pale grey ashes and Kagome's senbon lying within them.

Once the baby had been returned to its mother, D had returned to where the mayor was at with Kagome following close behind with her horse in tow. And in D's right hand, a bag filled with Kikyo's ashes and Kagome's senbon back in her possession.

At first, when the mayor saw Kagome, he nearly freaked until D said that she wasn't Kikyo. D had told him what had happened and said that both he and Kagome had slain Kikyo. And even though, the mayor said that he'd pay both him and Kagome, the raven-haired woman refused the money before leaving the mayor's office.

Later that night, D found her at the same tavern he was staying in for the night. The innkeeper was just telling her that he given his last room to the Hunter the town hired. With a shrug to the Innkeeper's apology, Kagome said that it was all right and that she was fine sleeping in the barn.

Remembering that his room had two beds, D grabbed her arm to get her attention, saying, "My room has two beds… you can stay with me."

Kagome thought about his offer for a bit before taking him up on the offer but said if he touched her, she'd castrate him.

"Oooh, she's feisty. I'm already beginning to like her more." Left Hand muttered low enough for D's ears to hear but D ignored him while nodding to Kagome and leading her to the room.

After asking which bed was his, Kagome took the bed that was closest to the window and started to undo her cloak and the buckles that held her blades (which D just noticed now).

The sky outside was clear with a bright full moon out, giving D a view that looked ethereal. Without her cloak, he could see her figure much clearer. Her lithe form clad in a comfortable dark blue jeans and a white long-sleeved shirt that looked almost too big for her but looked very appealing under a dark blue corset tied with black ribbons as she stretched her tired muscles from both her traveling and the ordeal with Kikyo. And her long raven hair, he noticed, framed her face in a… dare he thought it, in a very sexy way.

(For Kagome's outfit, it's sort of similar to Anna Valerious' outfit but more simple and different in colors.)

Kagome then turned to him, noticing that he was staring. She couldn't help but grin playfully as she said, "You like what you see, Dhampire-san?"

D stiffened unnoticeably as his eyes connected to hers. He didn't mean to stare but he couldn't help himself. He never dwelled himself into carnal desires when it came to the opposite sex, not to mention that because of him being a Dhampire and the parasite in his left hand… let's just say that he didn't want to regret what may happen if he had lost control over his vampiric side. Not to mention that he believed there wasn't someone out there for him…

Her laughter carried on the air to his ears like soft ringing bells as she lit her raised arms fall to her sides before she gracefully walked to D's side, saying in a gentle tone, "I'm just playing with you, D-san. No need to be all stiff or embarrassed." With that, she walked passed him to answer the door when someone knocked- that someone being the Innkeeper's wife who worked in the Bar/tavern.

Later that night, D and Kagome met up downstairs for a late supper. It was spent in silence… that was until Kagome couldn't take the horrible singing of one of the women who entertained the men in the Tavern. Without a word, she had stood while receiving a questioning glance from D before she made her way to the stage.

After a bit of a cat fight between Kagome and the entertainer, the horrible singer challenged Kagome in asking if she could do any better. With her shoulders squared, Kagome stepped up on stage while grabbing a hold on one of the vacant guitars. This a sure sign that Kagome accepted the challenge.

"Oh, this ought to be good." Left Hand muttered for D to hear. And he was right. This would be interesting.

After pulling up a stool for her to sit on, Kagome tuned her instrument before playing something that sounded laidback. The band soon started to get the hang of how she was playing and started to accompany her with their own instruments as she started singing.

We got winners, we got losers
Chain smokers and boozers
And we got yuppies, we got bikers
We got thirsty hitchhikers
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, I love this bar.

We got cowboys, we got truckers
Broken-hearted fools and suckers
And we got hustlers, we got fighters
Early birds and all-nighters
And the veterans talk about their battle scars

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, I love this bar.

With every type of person Kagome sang, the guys hollered with pride.

[Chorus:
I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just walkin' through the front door
Puts a big smile on my face
It ain't too far, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, I love this bar.

I've seen short skirts, we got high-techs
Blue-collar boys and rednecks
And we got lovers, lots of lookers
And I've even seen dancing girls and hookers
And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar

At that last line, all the men raised their beer mugs, bottles, and mason jars of beer with another holler of pride.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, I love this bar.

Yes I do

D was clearly impressed even though he didn't show it. Her singing was indeed better than the girl who challenged her and there were many in the bar that agreed. Even the innkeeper and his wife liked it.

(The words in parenthesis are what everyone in the bar/tavern repeating what Kagome sang)

I like my truck (I like my truck)
I like my girlfriend (I like my girlfriend)
I like to take her out to dinner
I like a movie now and then

But I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just trollin' around the dance floor
Puts a big smile on my face
No cover charge, come as you are

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, I love this bar.
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, I love this bar.

There was a huge applause from all the men and most of the women in the tavern. And D himself couldn't help but clap with a small barely noticeable smile.

About a year after they had parted from the morning after, D had met up with Kagome again as they were heading in the same direction to the Far Shore. They soon started to enjoy each other's company and started to travel together and take on jobs in slaying vampires and werewolves. Along the way, D had learned that Kagome was one-fourth vampire and three-fourths a human but still had certain characteristics of a vampire yet was still more human.

She had told him about her father who was a Dhampire like himself and her grandfather was one of Kikyo's fledglings. Her life before Kikyo killed her father to her years in searching for the Countess after her mother passed away when she was in her twenties in human years.

And now, seven years after their first meeting… the two were now inseparable. Even after finding out about the parasite n his left hand, she stayed with him saying that she didn't care about it.

And that night… was the first time they had been together intimately. They relished in each other's company and over the years, D had come to greatly care for Kagome's well being and wanted to always keep her safe. But what he never expected was to fall in love with her.

It couldn't be helped. He loved everything about her and she always managed to lighten his mood with her presence and her smiles alone.

A moan brought him out of his trip down memory lane to see Kagome sleepily open her deep blue eyes, smiling at him with contentment as she gave a sigh. D couldn't help but smile back at her while caressing her cheek with his right hand.

"Did Lefty fall asleep?" She asked making D chuckle. Over the years they had traveled together, Kagome had started calling the parasite in his left hand "Lefty" since the said parasite had no given name. Not that the demon minded.

To answer her question, D replied, "Yes. You remember what he said once." He then started to climb into bed with her, joining her under the covers. "He said the combination of testosterones and female estrogen makes a potent sedative to him. He'd have little choice but to sleep."

(That line, I got from jemstone5's Eighth book of her Vampire Hunter D stories. Kudos to her)

Kagome just gave a rueful chuckle as she laid a hand across his broad chest as she moved to rest her head over his heart. She gave a soft pleasured purr as D combed his fingers through her hair.

She had to admit that ever since after she had parted from D after she had first met him, Kagome couldn't get him out of her mind. Everything about him… from his smooth angular face, his tall slender body, nice sculpted muscles… Damn, he was so alluring beautiful that she even saw him in her sleep.

And it wasn't because he was a Dhampire like her father. D was very different from him in appearance but was slightly similar to her father in personality - strong and quiet but very caring and gentle. When she had met up with him again after two years, she was so excited in seeing him again that she had to stop herself from tackling him in a hug.

For the first time, close to a millennia, D and Kagome finally found happiness in the world that was covered in darkness and fear that was cause by what was also a part of their heritage.

'But I wouldn't trade it for the world…' D thought as he watched Kagome fall asleep once again after giving a soft kiss on his chest. Which he returned on top of her head before relaxing enough to fall asleep himself, following his lover in wonderful dreams to come.
