Chapter 21
Transformed
Sesshomaru's gold eyes met with blue as his hips slowly moved with hers. His fingers left trails of goosebumps along her smooth skin. Her back arched, causing her to receive more of him, which, in return, forced a groan deep from his throat. Her eyes closed in their passion as his lips gently trailed down her neck.
He placed an arm under her hips, bringing her closer to him as he sat up on his knees. His hips never missed a beat in their slow movement of penetrating the miko. He watched momentarily as his cock disappeared into the tiny woman and he wasn't even sure what emotions were coursing through him.
Suddenly wanting her close, he spread a hand across her back and pulled her flush against him. Flesh against flesh. Heat against heat. His lips met hers while her arms went around his neck, her hands fisting in his hair.
Her legs wrapped around his waist while he gripped her waist tightly. His own thighs shook both from kneeling on them and from the pleasure she was causing to course through his veins. He was still surprised by how good gentle could feel and enjoyed it just as much as when showing his dominance.
He pulled back from the woman slightly, his eyes meeting hers again. One hand left her waist and rested on her cheek. Sesshomaru had no idea what she caused in him. Any time he looked at her, he felt warm inside, and sometimes even tingly.
When it first happened, he thought the woman had put a spell on him, but it had been months since then and he was too powerful for a spell. Whatever he felt for this woman was his own doing. He just didn't know what it was called. He couldn't think of a name for it.
He had actually gone to his father, but of course, he was no help. Touga had told Sesshomaru to ask Kagome before proceeding to tease the lord about it. So, a growling Sesshomaru had left. He had contemplated asking his son but decided against it. Most likely, he would receive the same treatment as he had from his father.
In truth, it seemed like everyone knew the answer to his questions except him. He was sure he could torture someone until they finally told him, but then he would lose points with his female. It still baffled him that he was willing to not kill, or even seriously maim, just so his woman wouldn't be angry with him. He was a demon; he loved killing.
That was when it hit him. Love. His eyes met his female's once again, and he couldn't help but gasp at what he just realized. Somehow, he had fallen in love with this female. Something he had never felt before. Something he never thought himself capable of. Yet, she had pushed her way into his heart, permanently.
This realization alone sent fire coursing through him, and he knew he was right. He was in love. The demon Lord of the West. The killing perfection. The ruthless killer fell in love with a human miko. It was at that moment he was forced to close his eyes as her orgasm forced his own.
The two moaned into each other's mouths as they found completion, this being the lord's best one with his new found discovery. When they finally came back to Earth, he could only stare at his female as she panted, his eyes full of shock and surprise.
"Are you okay?" She asked, looking worried.
"What have you done to me?" He replied, his voice soft.
Now that he knew what he was feeling, he in no way regretted it. He was ecstatic. However, he was taken aback. He never thought this was possible, but, somehow, here it was. Then dread filled him. What if she didn't love him back? She had made it clear in the beginning that she wasn't looking for love. What would the lord do if she denied him?
"I don't know what you're feeling, but if it's anything like what I am, then it–"
"Lord Sesshomaru!" A squawky voice rang out, causing the lord to snarl. Unfortunately, Jaken had been added to the doors so they could open immediately for him.
The lord had decided that Jaken needed that access in case of emergencies, however, Sesshomaru was definitely thinking of the demon's death at the moment. The moment Jaken entered, he got more than he bargained for.
He had heard the rumors of his lord and the lady miko, but he had hoped they weren't true. Ignoring the crushed feeling in his heart caused by knowing that he could never have the female he wanted, he did what he had originally set out to do.
"A dark witch has been spotted in the lands. We believe it is the one called Nimue." Jaken informed, making his voice sound strong.
In an instant, Kagome was thrown to the bed before clothing was tossed on her. She looked up to see her lord was already dressed and placing his armor. Knowing that he was about to go after the witch, she grabbed her own armor suit and began pulling it on as well.
"Jaken, keep the miko here." Sesshomaru ordered, ignoring the angered gasp from his female. There was no way he would ever allow her to fight this witch, not after what happened last time.
"You can't keep me here!" Kagome yelled, grabbing her bow and sword. In the blink of an eye, Sesshomaru had grabbed both of her weapons and run out of the room, turning to look at her from the hallway.
Kagome attempted to follow him but was met by a barrier the moment she reached him. Her angry eyes met his, and for a moment, she saw something she never thought she would see. Fear. He was worried for her.
"Let me come with you!" She begged, placing her hand on the barrier. Sesshomaru just set her weapons down against the wall before turning and leaving.
After realizing that yelling at him wouldn't work, Kagome turned from the barrier and went through every option she had. In truth, she only had one, but she shouldn't do it. What she was thinking of was a well-guarded secret, something only her and Youta knew. InuYasha knew, but he would never tell anyone, otherwise he would have to admit that he ran away like a child.
If anyone were to find out about this, she knew exactly what would happen to her. So, she had a choice. Reveal her secret and save the male she loved or take a chance with his life so she wouldn't be punished. Anyone who knew Kagome knew what her choice would be.
Her next problem was the little toad that looked completely upset at the moment. She knew he had a crush on her, and she had been hoping to spare his feelings. However, he had just found out the hard way, and she felt bad.
She grabbed the tiny demon and sat him on the bed before kneeling in front of him. She could see the confusion in Jaken's eyes as she rubbed his cheek. She would have to tell him her secret as well, and she needed to make sure he would keep it.
"You saw what Nimue is capable of, Jaken. I need to be by our lord's side." She explained, watching as the toad thought over her words.
Jaken may have had feelings towards the female in front of him, but he worshipped his lord. No matter what, he would choose Sesshomaru over anyone, including the woman he liked. So, he completely understood her need to protect the lord, however…
"I can't remove his barrier. Only the lord or someone stronger can do that." Jaken explained, watching the woman smile.
"I know, but I have another way out of here. But I need you to keep it a secret. If anyone were to find out, not only would I be punished, the lord would be forced to do something he wouldn't want to. Can I trust you to not speak of what you are about to see to anyone?" Kagome asked, hoping with every fiber of her being that she was making the right choice.
"You can trust me, milady." Jaken stated, his voice full of confidence.
The toad watched as the lady in front of him gifted him with a friendly kiss to the cheek before standing to her full height. She walked over to the balcony and swung open the doors. Jaken wasn't sure how she was going to get out.
The entire shiro was only one story, except for the lord's chambers. Sesshomaru had requested they be built a story higher than the others. He, in no way, wanted the regular chambers that every lord had since the palace was built and instead wanted his own room.
Below the chambers was a private garden, something only he had access to. Even if this building was only two stories tall, each roof level was tall enough to hold a fully transformed Sesshomaru which equaled about sixty feet in total.
There was no way Kagome could jump without hurting herself. Needless to say, what he saw next sent the toad tumbling over the bed in shock. He knew the miko held great power, but this was insane. As he picked his head up over the bed, giant blue eyes met with his, pleading with him one last time before she jumped from the balcony and out of Jaken's sight.
All poor Jaken could do was sway on his feet before finally passing out.
-sSs-
Sesshomaru was furious. Not only at Nimue, but at Jaken as well. His mind kept going back to what Kagome had said, or had been about to say. The look in her eyes. The way her hand had trembled. It all seemed as if she had been about to say something he would kill to hear. It seemed as if she was going to say she loved him.
But now the lord will have to wait to find out because Jaken interrupted them. He couldn't truly be mad because he had sent the order to look for the witch some time ago. He wanted revenge, and on this day, he would have it. Now he just had more anger to add to it.
He hadn't run this fast since they found Rin and Kagome had been separated from him. He was determined to find this witch and put an end to her life so he could get back to his female. All he wanted to do was hold Kagome in his arms and love her.
His mind was so stuck in thought that he never noticed the vines shooting towards him until it was too late. He was pulled to the ground so hard, it knocked the breath out of him. He attempted to break free, but these were no ordinary vines.
They tightened around his wrists and ankles, ensuring that he couldn't even move enough to use his poison on them. Struggling was futile, but it didn't stop him from trying. He had a female to return to, and this witch was holding him up.
"I see your anger has yet to subside, Lord Sesshomaru. Did you really care for the human so much that her death still lingers in your mind?" The witch asked, stepping from behind a tree.
Sesshomaru said nothing as he lifted his head to glare daggers at the woman. He would let her think Kagome was still dead. It was better if he didn't bring attention to his miko anyway. His eyes traveled over the woman and he growled. He couldn't see her. The cloak she wore covered every inch of her skin, including her face.
"Are you not speaking to me? And here I thought we could be friends." Nimue teased, loving the way the lord struggled to be free. She really shouldn't be toying with her prey, but it was fun and who was she to turn that down.
"You know, I simply wanted to travel through your lands peacefully. Instead, you sent guards to search me out. How rude." She continued, smiling down at the now-red-eyed male in front of her.
"However, you are a handsome creature. Maybe there are other ways to have fun with you." She said, taking a step towards the now-fuming male.
"Bitch, if you touch me, you will die." Sesshomaru snarled, his stomach churning at the thought of this woman touching his person. For once, he was regretting his decision to come alone. He had wanted to get here before the witch escaped and hadn't even taken the time to call for backup.
"As if you could stop me. Maybe if you weren't tied down, but since you are…there's nothing you can do." Nimue laughed, taking another step towards her toy.
She didn't get any further before a giant black blur slammed into her. Sesshomaru's mouth dropped instantly as his eyes registered what was in front of him. A black inu yokai. And she was protecting him.
Even now, the witch was screaming in fury and sending every attack she could towards the giant dog, occasionally getting a hit, but, for the most part, Nimue was losing and the female had yet to even attack.
Sesshomaru wasn't brought out of his shock until his son slid to a stop beside him, mumbling something about stupid mothers. Sesshomaru watched as his son used his poison to melt away the vines, and once one hand was free, Sesshomaru quickly took care of the rest.
He was about to jump in and help the female when Youta grabbed his arm and gave him a look that said he should stay put. Sesshomaru was surprised yet again by the amount of anger that his son's face held at the moment, and he realized his son was furious with the inu, not him.
Then he remembered the day InuYasha was captured and brought to his study. Youta had accidentally let it drop that he knew a black inu even though he had tried to cover it up. Now here was the proof, playing with the witch in front of him.
It was then that the female got bored and grabbed the witch with her fangs. Screams of pain could be heard as the female tore Nimue into pieces, limb from limb, before the giant dog shook her head violently, causing her fangs to snap the frail human in half.
When the female yokai realized what she had done, she dropped the rest of the body to the ground with a wet thud. She shook her head, attempting to get the dark blood out of her mouth and off of her taste buds. It wasn't until a very angry Youta started shouting at her that she realized she was being watched.
"Are you fucking stupid?!" Youta yelled, stomping up to the yokai who growled deeply at the young daiyokai.
"Don't you growl at me! I have every right to be angry! You know exactly what he is going to do to you now!" Youta continued, ignoring the way the female in front of him snarled, showing her bloodied fangs.
As his son continued to yell at the female, Sesshomaru could only stare. Something about the inu in front of him was familiar, really familiar. It wasn't until the yokai turned her head towards him that he gasped with realization.
"Kagome." He breathed as his eyes met the blue he loved.
"Run, Ma!" Youta yelled, pushing against the female's leg, causing her to take a few steps back.
"Don't leave me!" Sesshomaru ordered the moment he realized his woman was about to run from him. He understood why, but she should know by now that he would never allow anyone to touch her.
"Why? So you can put her into the breeding program? Why do you think we kept this a secret!?" Youta shouted, not even caring that he was not only yelling at his mother but now his father as well.
"Boy, you will silence your accusations. This one would never allow another to touch her." Sesshomaru snarled, walking up to the female that he realized he hardly knew.
"So you'll breed her instead." Youta scoffed, crossing his arms.
"No. This Sesshomaru will not force her into anything she does not want." Sesshomaru admitted, holding his hand out.
He looked up into Kagome's eyes, asking permission to touch her, and when she nodded, he hesitantly did so. Her fur felt exactly like his and as he walked around her, looking over every inch of her, he realized she was a perfect copy of an inu yokai.
"Lay down." He ordered, noticing the way she rolled her eyes but did as he said. He ran his hand over her ears before running it down her muzzle.
"Explain." He demanded. Kagome huffed before looking towards Youta who was still angry, although not as much.
"I found out about it when I was younger, about five. I had decided I wanted to go off on my own and ended up surrounded by wolves. My poison hadn't come in yet so I was defenseless. Ma came in and took them all on. She had no choice but to use this form because there was no other way she could take them all on since her reiki only works on demons." Youta started before plopping down beside his mother and leaning against her giant paw. Sesshomaru was still running a hand over her muzzle and in between her eyes as he listened intently.
"The way she explained it was: her reiki is pure and good while youki is looked at as evil. In other words, she corrupts her reiki, so much so that it isn't even reiki anymore." Youta explained.
"So she is a yokai at the moment?" Sesshomaru asked.
"No. She may corrupt her reiki into youki, but it's only like that for a moment. A holy person cannot become a demon. She corrupts her reiki to change into this form, but she is more mortal now than anything. Sure, she's a giant dog, but she has no power. No reiki, no youki, no poison. She only has the strength that comes along with being the size she is. Which is why she hardly ever changes. In a way, she is more vulnerable this way. She's a bigger target and has no true power to fight with." Youta informed, standing up when his mother pushed him off of her.
"Why, then, did she change this time?" Sesshomaru asked, taking a step back when the woman he loved was suddenly surrounded in a bright pink light. When it disappeared, he was looking into the face he had grown familiar with.
"Considering you took my weapons and locked me inside your chambers, I kind of had no choice. I knew how Nimue was and I had to get to you. I'm faster in that form, and I can survive jumping from your balcony." Kagome answered, shrugging her shoulders.
"I don't know anything about you, do I?" Sesshomaru asked, the realization hurting him slightly. He loved this woman but she still didn't trust him.
"No, but I think it's time you did." She agreed, her eyes meeting his.
"I guess if he can be trusted with this secret, why not all of the others." Youta scoffed before sighing. "Hey, maybe you should tell me all about your life, too."
When he received a glare from his mother, telling him in no uncertain terms 'no,' he threw up his hands in defeat and turned from his parents. It was clear that they had things to talk about and he was not welcome. Oh, the life of a child.
When they were alone, Sesshomaru looked over the woman he loved with new eyes. He still loved her, and always will, but he truly knew nothing about her. He seriously wanted that to change, and he was glad she was finally willing to tell him. At the moment though, he had made too many realizations for one day and just wanted to return home.
"You're mad at me." Kagome stated, already knowing the answer.
"You do not trust me." Sesshomaru confirmed, watching as his female flinched slightly.
"It's not that I don't trust you. It's your title. You are the Lord of the West and an inu daiyokai. I know that something is killing off inus, and I also know I may possibly be the last black inu left." Kagome defended, hoping she could make the male she loved understand. She hated having him mad at her.
"You should also know I would not allow another to touch you, nor would I pup you against your will, or at a time of war." Sesshomaru replied, looking away from her blue eyes.
"Tell me, if Yamato found out and demanded that someone breed me, would you go against your council? Would you make the same mistake your father did?" Kagome asked, noticing the way he suddenly bristled.
"This is hardly the same situation, Miko." He growled, turning to look at her again.
Kagome lost her internal battle and ran towards the male. She crashed against him and wrapped her arms around his waist, squeezing tightly. She could feel her tears running down her cheeks, and she wished he didn't have his armor on but she would take what she could get.
"I'm sorry, Sesshomaru. I was scared. I didn't want to be sent off and forced to breed because I look like an inu yokai. I would never allow you to choose me over your lands which means you won't be able to fight whatever the council decides. I should have told you a long time ago. I do trust you." She cried.
Sesshomaru just stood frozen for a moment. This was only the second time that she had clung to him like this, and he was once again unsure of what to do. Plus, the sight and smell of her tears was forcing any anger he had away.
So, he did what his instincts told him to and wrapped his arms around her. He buried his nose into her hair, making sure not to hurt her with his armor. He could never stay mad at her, and she was willing to tell all of her secrets so this was something he could let go. He loved her after all, and even though that was new to him, he wouldn't jeopardize it in any way.
"Kagome, do not keep secrets from me any longer. This one will not do anything to put you in harm's way and you know this." He ordered softly.
"I won't. I'm sorry and I promise I will tell you everything you want to know from now on." She vowed, looking up at him, her chin resting on his armor. He bent down slightly and pressed his lips to hers, loving how different it all felt now that he knew what he felt for the miko.
Which brought him to another thought. If she was willing to share with him, he needed to as well. Not only did he need to tell her his newly discovered information, he also needed to show her his secret room. He wasn't sure which one scared him more.
"Come, my Kagome. It is getting late and I wish to return to our chambers." He stated as he picked up the miko in his arms, smiling slightly at her tiny squeal.
"By the way, Jaken knows about me. I kinda had no choice." Kagome admitted, pushing two fingers together as her lord sighed and began walking.
"I will take you up on your offer…tomorrow. I wish to know all about you, but I have had too many shocking revelations for one day." Sesshomaru said, ignoring her fidgeting.
"It was just one thing. I'm not even a yokai, I just look like one." Kagome laughed, wrapping her arms around his neck and nuzzling her face under his chin. She smiled when she heard his purr and nuzzled deeper into him.
"Perhaps I had my own discoveries." He replied. Kagome pulled away from him slightly to look up at him.
"Like what?" She asked, kissing his chin.
"You will know soon enough." He teased, covering her lips with his own so he could save his ears from her yelling at him.
Together, they walked back towards the palace, knowing, from here on out, their relationship would only grow. Finally, they both understood what they felt for the other. Now, they simply needed to tell each other. Their future was bright, and would remain so.
-sSs-
I wouldn't normally have Kagome have this ability, but I couldn't get it out of my head so I just decided to do it. There will be only one other time that she ever takes this form. The reason why I made it to where she was a giant mortal dog instead of a demon was for the future chapter where she is forced to change again. You will have to wait and see what I am talking about.
Some of you probably won't agree with this chapter, and I understand. Even I am skeptical about it. lol. Plus you're entitled to your opinion. I just hope this one chapter won't ruin the rest of the story for you. I hope you enjoyed.

LazuriteSix: I would hope so as well, lol. With the way I wright, the servants seem happy enough. Lol.
: Yea it kinda was. I added the stuff with Kikyou and Kagome to show that the sisters used to have a past, but for the most part it was a lemon filler. I like writing lemons and will do so when I get the urge to. I hope you don't mind.
Supernaturalfan17980: I'm glad you liked it.
THEPrincess: Thank you for your kind words. I'm somewhat okay, but it is something that won't get resolved overnight, but I will be fine in the long run. I am glad you liked the last chapter though.
RedDrake323: I can always count on you to like my lemons, and I am glad for it. I always look forward to yours and Wren210 updates the most. (Not that no one else's makes me happy. I am thankful for all.) Lol. The two of you tend to actually make me smile, which is appreciated at this time. As far as what's going on with me, it will be something I will have to deal with for a while, but I will be okay eventually.
LotusCupcake10: I feel like even the strongest males can't resist a tempting female. Lol. SO yes, Sesshomaru lost it. You didn't offend me at all bu suggesting things, I actually like it when people do. However I will not ignore them, so if someone suggest something I will tell them why I like or do not like their idea. Lol. Keep suggesting away if you wish. As far as killing Kagome, I still have yet to decide. You'll just have to wait and see.
Wren210: Yea, I wouldn't have wanted Kenta's job. Lol. I could see both Youta and Touga going on about the two. Lol. But who wouldn't. There will be a confrontation between the in about two to three chapters. So I hope that makes you happy.
Slytherin's Pimp: Actually it won't be too much longer before they mate. I promise.
I do not own InuYasha.
