Chapter Twenty (Drowning)
"What's the matter with you?"
The question burst from Kagome's lips before she could think to stifle it. One small hand came up to cover her mouth.
'Oops.'
The demon lord didn't look too happy---in fact, he looked downright pissed.
SesshouMaru didn't show his anger like his hanyou brother. His eyes didn't darken and his claws didn't clench into fists. He didn't immediately open his mouth and start yelling at the top of his lungs.
Instead, he froze into utter stillness.
Just like a predator, and Kagome knew with no uncertainty who his prey was.
"Err...I don't feel very hungry right now." She said lamely, dropping her eyes and fisting her hands in her lap. She played with the light blue silk of her yukata, before coming to a decision.
'There's no problem with just running. No problem at all...'
The Lord's eyes were darkening, almost like InuYasha's. Time to go.
Kagome slid from her chair, smoothing the sensuous silk over her hips, wiping at imaginary wrinkles. "Um...uh...I think I should be going now." She said nervously. "I shouldn't keep you up and all." She took a half-step sideways, closer to the door. "I'm sure you have a lot to do and all..."
She bolted.
And found that her churning legs weren't getting her anywhere. In fact, she was being dragged backwards. 'What the...?'
SesshouMaru's fluffy tail was wrapped tightly around her waist, inevitably dragging her back to the now-standing Taiyoukai. His face was cold and severe, but his eyes flashed red.
'Uh-oh!'
Kagome tried plucking at his tail with her small fingers, desperate to win free. She was really, really scared now, her heart beating in her ears like a caught butterfly.
SesshouMaru's tail dragged her to him, so that her back was to his front. She could feel the heated breadth of him through the thin silk of her yukata. Kagome shivered, closing her eyes, her mind yelling at her to get free, to fight, to flee, to faint, to do anything but just stand there like a deer caught in the headlights!
Long fingers, sharp claws glinting in the firelight, came up to her neck, and Kagome couldn't stop the convulsive shudder that went through her.
"Please." Oh, how she hated herself for that weak plea!
Claws swept her hair aside, and Kagome nearly jumped as warm lips found the red welt on her neck. She felt the inquisitive touch of a warm tongue, and she nearly fainted as sudden longing stabbed through her, making her body weak and her knees sag. The furry tail tightened around her, keeping her upright, as a single strong arm wrapped around her, pinning her own arms to her sides. Sharp teeth grazed the wound, and Kagome let out an involuntary yelp that turned into a moan of lost anguish.
What are you doing to me? One part of her mind cried out.
'Breathe...'
The commanding voice was in her head, filling her with strange feelings of warmth and longing. She gulped convulsively, seeking air as the voice came up like a tidal wave, swamping resistance aside. One part of her mind screamed at her to break free, to run and hide, but the waves of command rolled over it, drowning her own protests in need.
She felt as if she floated in a sea of warm, heated emotions. 'I'm drowning!' She cried out in sadness. 'I'm drowning...' The thought was whisked away from her, whirled along by the waves of longing and desire that filled her.
'Feel...'
The voice was surrounding her, beating down the weak barrier she tried to erect against it. She could feel her senses expanding, her responses shifting. She felt bathed in drowning warmth, the sea of longing swamping her paltry resistance aside...
