Kagome stirred on the futon, her back was against something smooth and warm, and she could feel something hard against her butt. She blushed, but a wicked grin made its way to her lips and she rubbed the area in question against the hardness. The soft growl coming from behind her sent chills through her spine all the way to the apex between her thighs. She moaned lightly and felt open mouth kisses on her shoulder, going up of her neck and then to her ear. Once the mouth got there, it began nibbling on it. She felt the tickles and began squirming and giggling. Immediately arms wrapped around her so she wouldn't get away from the newfound torture. She began to grow breathless.
"Sess-" was all that the giggles let come out. He kept it going for a bit until he felt she really needed to breathe.
"Hm?" He hummed his response in her ear, feeling her shudder on his embrace. He let his grip on her loosen so she could turn to face him. She was panting slightly and a sweet blush stained her cheeks, her mouth in a smile reminiscent of her giggles. He idly wondered when she'd become so charming to him.
"You are evil." She said once she caught her breath.
"You flatter me." He smirked to her as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer towards her lips. His beast purred inside of him.
We could get used to this.
Indeed.
But before a kiss could turn into something else, her stomach growled loudly making both of them stop.
"Perhaps we should feed the beast in your stomach first." He suggested, smirking at her ever-increasing blush. She nodded and with a last peck on her lips, he got up. They dressed and Kagome went to the other room to wake the kids.
Breakfast was delicious, and Kagome felt thrilled. She was expecting a lot from today's activities and couldn't wait to get the day started. She would teach the kids and make Shippo practice his Kitsune tricks through the morning, and then after lunch, she would have some fun. Kagome disliked fights to the death, obviously, but duels like these? She began to love them the minute she was able to handle herself. Her sensei was also a reason for the change. The former general spent six years teaching her everything she knew, pushing her to her limit. She absolutely adored him, even if it took a whole year to convince him to train her. And then combat became thrilling, the adrenaline was almost like ecstasy. She had a few tricks up her sleeve since she learned martial arts during the three years she spent on her era. They began to move out of the dining hall once breakfast was over but Sesshomaru held her back.
"Miko." Kagome turned on her heels to face him.
"Yes?"
"Did you schedule your training with my general?" She tensed.
"I… uh, sort of?" She smiled nervously at him, who just narrowed his eyes at her. After five seconds of that molten gold intensity, she gave up. "I didn't, I scheduled a duel instead."
"You what?" He snarled at her and Kagome felt her throat dry suddenly.
"Well, he was going to put me to train with pups!" She lifted her arms in frustration.
"You shouldn't challenge my general. He is in that position for a reason." Kagome rolled her eyes at him.
"I know. It'll prove my point further." She said and walked towards the kids' room, ending the conversation. She had read his general's power, he'd be a fun challenge after her warm up with Aihara. She looked forward to leaving her lover with his eyes wide. She hasn't really been able to showcase her full strength to him, and she looked forward to it.
Sesshomaru was fuming. Why the hell was Kagome acting all defiant and talking about beating his general in a duel? Is she out of her mind?! He stormed to his study to find a bird demon waiting inside. The demon bowed and then handed him the scroll, it was Sango's report. Sesshomaru read it and smirked, at least he'd have some fun in a few days. He dismissed the messenger and called Takeshi with his aura. Today was going to be a very long day…
Noon soon came and Kagome was so excited she didn't notice that she was sending slight pulses of her aura every now and then. She was trying to teach Shippo and Rin, who were being impossibly energetic when the guard announced they were to go to the dining area. She got up and stretched while Rin and Shippo ran ahead of her with their guard following behind.
Kagome entered the dining room to see, as expected, Sesshomaru already seated in the central spot. Rin and Shippo were fighting over who'd sit next to her.
"Hey you two, it's fine. I can sit in the middle so you'll both be next to me, how's that?" They beamed at her and Kagome picked the cushion beside Sesshomaru, placing it between Rin and Shippo's and sitting down. She laughed at the kids suddenly wanting her attention. Sesshomaru signalled to his servant and they brought the food. This lunch was a noisy one. The kids would go on and on with stories and Kagome hummed while eating, stifling a giggle here and there at the kids' antics.
Once lunch was done, she dismissed the kids, who hugged her tight before leaving towards the gardens. She was feeling so good she even forgot about the discussion she had earlier with Sesshomaru. So, before leaving, she walked past him and let his silky hair slide through her hand, her fingertips lightly touching the fabric on his back. She looked at him over her shoulder, a smirk playing on her lips. That is until she found herself spread upon the table with Sesshomaru hovering over her, his knee between her thighs. She noticed from the corner of her eyes the servants leaving the room.
"Hi there." She teased. Sesshomaru bent further to nuzzle her neck and she felt him inhale deeply. Just with that Kagome's arousal spiked, making his eyes bleed red while he leaned back to look at her, his eyes taking in every detail of her face. She reached her hand up and brushed his fringe back, sliding her fingers towards his jagged strips. He closed his eyes while leaning towards her touch. He was so handsome, it always left Kagome stunned when she would think about how he wanted her as a mate.
Sesshomaru opened his eyes again to look at the woman underneath him. Everything in her was calling to him since she entered the room. Hell, since noon came, he could barely concentrate because of her, no one could, she kept letting pulses of her aura loose, brightening everyone's mood. During lunch, her scent was deliciously invading his nostrils and he could barely taste the food. He noticed how the kids were fighting for her attention, which had never happened before today. The servants and guards were not eyeing her, but he could see they were satisfied. Sesshomaru listened as she hummed while eating and had to keep his arousal hidden. And then this… this minx decided to slide her fingers across his shoulders, lightly caressing his hair while doing so. And he lost it, and there they were.
He pressed his knee against her core and she mewled lightly. It was music to his ears, and he wanted more, so much more. He began by caressing her cheek and sliding his hand down towards her collarbone, his eyes locked on hers. He followed the rim of her kimono all the way to the sash and when he got there, he used his claw to rip it. She rolled those beautiful blue eyes at him, making him smirk. After the sash was dealt with, he slowly ran his hand around her curves to spread her kimono. His mouth watered at the sight of her lace covered body. Her weird black undergarments, probably from her time, provoked him, daring him to rip them off of her. He was about to do just that when a distant sound echoed. Kagome frowned, she thought they had at least an hour before the challenge started... maybe they ate later than usual.
"The challenge." She reminded him, and he let out a frustrated growl, it was the second time he'd have to stop their fun, just today. She giggled and caressed his hair. "Our timing sucks doesn't it?" She told him with a smile on her lips. He leaned down and licked her neck all the way to her temple, memorizing her addictive taste while ignoring her weird statement, that was probably true.
He then got up and she took his hand to stand. Folding her kimono shut, she sighed at the ripped sash. She placed the ripped parts together and created a few reiki strands to hold it in place until she could change clothes. He watched her with barely concealed hunger in his features. He lost control too easily around her, he'd have to work on that. She walked to him to give him a quick kiss but he embraced her, grabbing her ass to bring her up to a very heated kiss. She pulled back after a bit, giggling as he trailed nips down her neck.
"What's with you today?" She asked amidst his affectionate attack. He didn't answer but did let her go after one last peck on her lips. She had a challenge to get over with so he'd be able to finally pleasure her. She wouldn't escape his claws today. Kagome glanced at him once more before running towards his room to change.
Once there she quickly put her slayer clothes on and braided her hair, then rolling it into a bun so it wouldn't get in the way. She looked at her katana that laid close to her backpack. Should she bring it? She decided she should, if it wasn't permitted she'd just leave it aside.
Kagome made her way to the arena at the back of the left building, noticing for the first time that the guards weren't glaring at her like usual, they seemed to be in a rather good mood. She found it odd, she was wearing demon slayer garments after all. That puzzled her so much that she walked right past the exit that led outside. Rolling her eyes she made her way back. And once outside she became instantly nervous. Almost everyone who wasn't a guard was there to watch. The arena was a large square with walls surrounding it, and behind them, there were elevated seats filled with demons. There were at least four hundred pairs of demonic eyes on her, she felt almost naked. At the center of a wall to her side, there was a covered area where Sesshomaru was sitting on a throne, two servants on each side of him. He looked intently at her, his head supported by his arm which was resting on the throne. He gave her a smirk and she heard gasps from the crowd. At least not all eyes were on her. She smirked back and made her way to the center of the arena, halfway there she saw Aihara coming towards her from the other side.
She looked stunning, all her trinkets left behind and her face free of makeup, the demoness was a true beauty. She wore a black battle yukata embroidered with red wolves in their beast form all over it. Kagome almost felt bad for soiling such an outfit. The wolf's hair was secured in a high ponytail and she seemed to be enjoying herself as much as Kagome. Once they stood in front of each other, a few feet separating them, they waited for Sesshomaru to announce the start of the duel. Kagome didn't take her eyes off of the female in front of her, the wolf emanated confidence and the miko could barely contain a grin that wanted to take over her lips. Sesshomaru announced that no weapons were allowed and since Kagome had already left her katana by the entrance, she didn't need to move. She thought that probably they wouldn't be permitted anyways, and if they were she could fetch them later.
When Sesshomaru's voice boomed and announced the start of the duel, she watched Aihara's eyes turn instantly red and she shot herself towards Kagome. Kagome felt her Reiki fill her limbs and jumped high, leaving Aihara clawing the air where she once stood. Kagome had an idea. Concentrating her Reiki on her fingertip, much like Sesshomaru, she whipped her power towards the wolf below her, wrapping the pink whip around her limbs and waist and throwing her with force against a wall once she landed. There was a loud cracking sound followed by gasps. Kagome waited for the female's next move. The demoness stood up and cleaned the blood dripping from her mouth, she trembled with anger and it didn't take long for her to sprint forward again. Kagome watched, amused, as Aihara jumped at the slightest movement, the wolf really thought her stupid enough to dodge the same way twice. A smirk made its way to Kagome's lips and she used her Reiki whip to force Aihara down to the ground, hitting the demoness' back hard on the sturdy floor. Aihara gasped for air and felt another two ribs break.
"I suppose your jewellery box is indeed bigger than your strength." Aihara heard the miko tease her with an amused tone. The sound of her voice snapped her beast and she began to transform. She watched as the red-haired demoness released her youki and transformed herself into a wolf twice the size of Kagome herself. Her bright red eyes held deep green pupils and her fur was a deep maroon red. Kagome couldn't help but think she was beautiful. The wolf snarled at her and Kagome cocked her head. Maybe it was time she actually made a move. With that in mind, Kagome sprint towards the female and watched, almost in slow motion, as the wolf charged towards her, jaws opening to rip her to shreds. She dodged the bite by inches, sliding under the demoness while creating a muzzle around her snout with Reiki, two ropes giving her full control of the demoness' head. She pulled the ropes with force under the demoness and her head was forced downward, snout facing the ground. Kagome stood and jumped backwards forcefully and the demon lost her footing, falling onto her back with a yelp. Reiki chains held her down and Kagome sat on the wolf's neck, her hand shining pink, inches from her throat.
"Submit." She ordered. When all she got was a growl and resistance, she lightly touched the wolf. Immediately you could smell burnt fur and skin, the demoness began to squirm trying to get away. Aihara was almost blind in rage, the human had humiliated her fully by muzzling her like a wild animal, and then making her fall onto her back so comically. She swore to herself that this was not over, that she'd get rid of the human no matter what, even if right now she lost. She heard the miko speak again.
"Submit or I'll be forced to end you right here." Kagome stated. The demon wolf stopped for a second before she transformed back, Kagome moved so she wouldn't sit on the woman's breasts but kept her body bound to the ground.
"I submit." She hissed. Kagome got up and let the demoness stand up. The now defeated wolf limped towards the entrance she came from and healers were already there waiting for her. Kagome stretched, now the real fun would begin. She looked towards Sesshomaru, who was watching her intently. He signalled to a servant and she disappeared behind the throne. About two minutes later she watched Takeshi coming from where Aihara disappeared. He wore his usual armour and uniform and had a grin on his face which made Kagome grin back. Oh yes, this was going to be fun. She stared at the handsome blonde Inu that walked towards her, although his beauty didn't even begin to compare to Sesshomaru's, she still thought him handsome. She heard Sesshomaru announce that swords were allowed in the fight, and Kagome immediately whipped her katana towards her. She never thought of using her reiki like this, but discovering how fun and convenient it was, she'd make a habit of it. She placed the sheathed weapon on her blue sash and waited for further commands to begin the fight.
Sesshomaru had dreaded this duel, but seeing how Kagome handled with ease a transformed wolf demoness, his interest peaked tenfold. Kagome had told him she'd tackled him not to hurt him, which he scoffed at. But now he was getting a strange urge, he wanted to fight her himself to prove her theory, he wanted her to be able to hurt him. He'd seen the size of her power when he visited her center, and it was as big as his own. But raw power meant nothing if untrained, one would take years to master a power that great, took him centuries to master his own after all. But there she was, proving she was more than capable. He could see in her eyes how amused she was, her almost constant smirk and casual grins were a sign of that too. He knew she wasn't really a violent creature unless necessary and it pleased him immensely that she found joy in combat like this.
She was proving to be the perfect mate by the day, which made him relieved since he was pretty much powerless against her since the clearing, even though he'd argue it was because she saved Rin. But his beast knew better, they had belonged to her the moment they tasted her. From then on, it was only a matter of convincing his human-hating logical side, and that took only a day or two beside her on the pretext of helping her. And much to his beast dread and relief, Rin was attacked and saved by the Miko, and now they were bound to her instead of her to them. His logical side gave in and there they were, relishing on the fact that their chosen mate was strong, motherly, protective and above all that, fun. He hadn't felt so amused in quite a while, he actually had to hold in a laugh when she muzzled the red wolf. He spoke up for the battle to begin and kept his eyes glued to his little miko.
Kagome barely heard Sesshomaru's signal and Takeshi was already on her, she was prepared though and defended the attack with ease. She quickly forced his sword up with a strength he wasn't expecting and it made him lose balance. That was all it took for a Reiki infused house round kick hit his side, sending him flying. She knew he was holding back, the asshole, Sesshomaru probably talked to him. Kagome let her Reiki flow freely through her body, strengthening her and enhancing her senses. She defended another blow from Takeshi and they began clashing swords. Those who could accompany it were mesmerized. It was almost a dance in some way, Kagome accompanied all of Takeshi's offensives with ease, blocking some and parring others. She had yet to attack him on her own accord, the kick was the only offensive she's shown up until now.
Takeshi began growing frustrated, letting himself attack on with more power, more will. Kagome became bored after the first two minutes since he wasn't letting his full force out and that made her hold back, seeing that she didn't want to end the duel so quickly. She set motion to defend as he swung his sword down with force, but at the last second, she dodged his attack, making him slit through the air and carve his sword violently on the ground. She kicked his hands off the hilt, stunning him for a moment. Taking advantage of that she spun, her leg outstretched to sweep the Inu off his feet. Before the general could even register his back hitting the ground, she had grabbed his foot and began spinning, using the momentum to slam the general against a wall with force.
"Come on! Didn't I need to train with pups to build up strength?" She asked loudly, trying to provoke the Inu. He got up, internally wincing at his dislocated shoulder and broken ribs. That human was getting on his nerves, she was humiliating him in front of his Lord and that wouldn't do. He put his shoulder back in place with a loud snap and moved it to confirm it was correctly placed. Once that was done, he stopped holding back and advanced towards her. In a flash, he retrieved his sword and reached her but she was no longer there. He heard a low 'finally' being said behind him and turned to attack her. Those who could barely accompany before, no longer could.
Sesshomaru had his eyes wide. Kagome didn't get hit once by Takeshi, and he was his strongest warrior. Did she even need any training? Could she actually be as strong as himself? Who the hell trained her for her to become this strong?! How she fought Takeshi is how Sesshomaru trained him, at least the sword techniques. The only two offensive moves she made were bare movements such as kicks or how she threw him against the wall, and those alone took a toll on the general. Sesshomaru then realized she could've defended herself when he strangled her. Why didn't she? He'd have to ask her later.
He watched her movements, reading her power flow throughout the battle. Even though her reiki flowed freely in her, she was able to manage it to be used only when and where she needed it. Her control over her Reiki was impeccable, probably caused by her constant attempts to gain control over her aura. She wasted no energy in unnecessary movements, she read her opponent almost with perfection as she danced and defended herself. It was mesmerizing to watch and very, very arousing. Since the fight with Aihara, the smell of the males was almost unbearable. They were hard for his little Miko, making his beast growl in discontentment. His attention snapped from his thoughts when Kagome started picking up the pace. Takeshi was beginning to have a hard time accompanying her as she began attacking, and Sesshomaru knew Kagome was aiming to end the battle.
Kagome had Reiki to spend, but she was still a human and was fighting like this for ten minutes now. She wouldn't be able to move properly the next day because her muscles would be too strained, and she knew that. So she began to speed up, making Takeshi follow suit. He had hit her here and there, but with Reiki flowing inside of her like this, the small cuts were almost instantly healed. She managed to disarm him and he quickly jumped back, sending a concentrated ball of youki towards her. She deflected it up with his own sword, and advanced, wielding her katana on the other hand. He kept sending her one burst after the other while keeping his distance. She deflected a couple more before narrowing her purple eyes at him, this bullshit was annoying her. At the first chance, she carved both swords on the ground and as a burst of youki was approached her, she moved her hand towards it and the yellow energy was surrounded by pink light and she threw it back at him, repeating motion with the other two he had sent her way. He dodged the now reiki bursts, but doing so gave her an opening and her pink whip wrapped his foot and pulled him violently towards her.
He grinned at her and released his youki completely, his eyes went red and he transformed into a great cream coloured Inu, much bigger than Aihara but still smaller than Sesshomaru. He used his momentum and sped up towards her, his claws ready for the claiming. She jumped back to dodge, and once his giant paw hit the ground, she sprinted up his shoulder.
The Inu thrashed violently trying to get her off of him, roaring loudly until a pink lace was thrown above his head and quickly pulled back towards him, lodging itself between his massive jaws. Takeshi was in shock, she was riding him, reigns and all. The audacity of this woman.
Kagome had bound her feet on his back, the binds painfully puncturing the flesh to keep her in place as she pulled on her new reigns, swaying and moving to dodge the eventual tail that swung towards her. Takeshi roared and thrashed against his restraints for a bit until he decided to squish her by rolling on his back. Kagome grinned when she felt the movement she wanted from the demon and let her reigns go, running around the Inu's torso as he so gladly offered his unprotected belly to her, like a good puppy. She jumped up and sent four chains that surrounded the Inu's paws and brought them together. Takeshi struggled and tried turning to stand up, but his paws being bound, he couldn't do anything but lay on his side. Kagome was against the giant Inu's throat in a second.
"Submit." She said to the dog, this time pressing the katana against Takeshi's skin, burning it, to show she was serious. If the Inu thrashed or moved, she'd purify him. Takeshi eyed her for a moment.
"I submit." He growled low to her and she freed him, offering him a hand once he transformed back. He took it, his respect for this human had grown tremendously, and he knew the only person who'd be able to train her further on her abilities was the western Lord himself. Or perhaps his mother.
"Good fight." She said, her grin going from ear to ear. She was feeling ecstatic, sum that to the fact she was feeling good before the duels, it was almost heaven. They turned to look at Sesshomaru, who had stood and begun announcing the winner of both duels. He could barely contain a smirk that wanted constantly to make his way onto his lips. His little minx was going to be rewarded accordingly.
